Sen. Tim Scott: 2020 Democrat hopefuls trying to 'dupe' black voters

Sen. Tim Scott said Monday that Democrat presidential hopefuls like former Rep. Beto O’Rourke are trying to “dupe” black voters into believing President Trump is racist as a way to deflect from his accomplishments on uplifting the black and Hispanic communities.

During an appearance on Fox News’s “The Story,” Mr. Scott, the only black Republican in the Senate, responded to comments Mr. O’Rourke recently made about America being “founded on racism” and how Mr. Trump’s election purportedly re-awakened latent racism in the country. Mr. Scott said raising the specter of racism is all the Democrats have left because Republicans have been so successful in improving the lives of struggling Americans.

“This is an opportunity for the Democrat Party to try to figure out a way to dupe the African American voters, not only in South Carolina but around the country because they really have nothing but empty promises to run on,” Mr. Scott told Fox host Martha McCallum.

The South Carolina congressman pointed to Mr. Trump’s record on helping minorities, like criminal justice reform and record-low unemployment for blacks and Hispanics.

“If you were smart and a Democrat running for president you might want to focus on criminal justice ref— I’m sorry, actually we’ve already done that,” Mr. Scott said. “President Trump passed the best criminal justice reform that has had a disproportionately positive impact in the African-American communities, unlike the 1990s when Joe Biden and the Democrat Party locked up more folks in the Africa-American community than we’ve seen in a long time.

“If you were running for president as a Democrat, you’d probably want to talk about the economy, but oh wait, you can’t because President Trump has created more than 6 million jobs during his administration — 50% of those jobs have gone to African Americans and Hispanics,” he continued.

  2. You don't really need to dupe voters when one side has members who still wear swastikas and the other side doesn't.

  3. 9:40, if you really think that only “kooks” believe the false media narratives, than maybe it’s a “pot meet kettle” situation. I hope the congressman’s fact-based response gets lots of play time so that voters can consider a different perspective.

  5. I think the black population is finally catching on to all the tactics being used on them to dupe them into voting democrat. They are starting to wise up to the underhanded way they are being lied to and promised the moon if they vote democrat. If they will just turn the tables and vote republican, they will find out just how much better off they are now and have been for quite sometime, especially since Obama got in and they found out what a liar he was . They need to give it a try in 2020 and see what I say is true.
