On Wednesday’s episode of the ABC talk show “The View,” co-host Whoopi Goldberg launched a truly vile attack on Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC), calling him a “crazy tune” for denying systemic racism.
Goldberg attacks Scott
Goldberg attacked Scott while she and her co-hosts interviewed Clay Cane, who recently published a book titled “The Grift: The Downward Spiral of Black Republicans.”
“Let’s not forget, he voted against the Voting Rights Act, he gutted the George Floyd Policing Act and he came on this very show and denied systemic racism,” Cane said.
Radically liberal co-host Sunny Hostin responded by claiming that Scott “insulted” her when he appeared on “The View” last year.
“Well, I was here too,” Goldberg said before brutally attacking Scott by saying “it was a Looney Tune.”

Joy Behar speaks
Co-host Joy Behar chimed in to complain that it’s difficult for her to watch Scott speak at Donald Trump rallies, adding that he’s “desperate for power.”
“What’s sad about Tim Scott is I think he knows that if he denounced bigotry in his own party instead of endorsing a bigot for president, he knows they would throw him out faster than Liz Cheney,” Cane said.
“It’s pathetic to watch,” Behar continued, noting that Scott recently got engaged. “That’s because he wants the vice president job, right? So the engagement was a good way to say, “Hey, I’m getting married.” I’ll be legit. I can be Trump’s vice president.”

While appearing on “The View” last year, Scott refused to cater to the left-wing narrative of systemic racism in the U.S.
“One of the reasons I’m on the show is because of the comments that have been made frankly on this show that the only way for a young African American boy to succeed in this country is to be the exception and not the rule. This it’s a dangerous, offensive and disgusting message to send to our youth today: The only way to succeed is to be the exception,” Scott said at the time, according to Fox News.
Without stopping there, Scott continued to boast about the success of African Americans in the United States, pointing out the record unemployment rate among African Americans.
“Progress in America is palpable and can be measured in generations,” he said. “I think back to the fact that my grandfather, born in 1921 in Salley, South Carolina, when he was on a sidewalk, a white person was coming: he had to get off and not make eye contact.”
“That man believed then, with some doubt now, in the goodness of America, because he believed that faith in God, faith in himself, and faith in what the future might hold for his children would open up opportunities in ways you can’t imagine,” Scott added. “So what I’m suggesting is that yesterday’s exception is today’s rule.”

There is no one that shameless liberals like Goldberg despise more than a black conservative, as the existence of someone like Scott completely destroys their narrative that the Republican Party is full of racists. Goldberg can hit Scott all he wants, but if he really wants to see a “crazy tune,” all he has to do is look in the mirror.
