Tim Scott (R., S.C.) delivered a powerful and inspiringly diverse response to President Joe Biden&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/politics\/biden-speech-congress\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">congressional address<\/a> on Wednesday, causing professional journalists and other liberal ideologues to lose their minds.<\/p>\n<p>Scott argued that Biden\u2014a &#8220;good man&#8221; whose speech was &#8220;full of good words&#8221;\u2014had failed to deliver on his promise to unite the country and &#8220;lower the temperature&#8221; after his victory in the 2020 election. &#8220;The Biden administration has pushed us apart,&#8221; he said, praising the bipartisan COVID-19 relief legislation passed under former president Donald Trump and the success of Operation Warp Speed. The radical policies Democrats have proposed, he argued, were not intended to find &#8220;common ground.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Invoking his personal story of being raised in poverty by a single &#8220;prayin&#8217; momma,&#8221; Scott challenged the lockdown policies backed by Democratic politicians that have closed down the institutions that aided his improbable rise, including schools and churches. He spoke of his experience as a black man in America and his struggle to be taken seriously by Democrats and their supporters.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I get called \u2018Uncle Tom&#8217; and the N-word by progressives, by liberals,&#8221; said Scott, who also called out the <em>Washington Post<\/em> for publishing a widely condemned <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/media\/washington-post-tim-scott\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">fact check<\/a> suggesting &#8220;my family&#8217;s poverty was actually privilege.&#8221; He challenged the prevailing corporate and cultural norms regarding issues of race, denouncing those who are &#8220;making money and gaining power by pretending we haven&#8217;t made any progress at all.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In contrast to Biden&#8217;s rambling tirade, Scott envisioned a &#8220;joyful springtime for our nation,&#8221; where his illiterate \u00a0grandfather &#8220;saw his family go from cotton to Congress in one lifetime.&#8221; This was precisely the claim that <em>Post\u00a0<\/em>chief fact checker Glenn Kessler, whose grandfather was\u00a0a Dutch steel magnate, dinged for lacking &#8220;nuance.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Nuance was certainly lacking from the liberal response to Scott&#8217;s speech. MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace said the speech was &#8220;delivered from a planet where facts don&#8217;t matter.&#8221; Democratic analyst Jason Nichols, in a since-deleted <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ChuckRossDC\/status\/1387604414102396929\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">tweet<\/a>, called Scott a &#8220;clown&#8221; whose &#8220;ancestors are ashamed of him.&#8221; At least one left-wing media personality had to <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ScottNevins\/status\/1387609644072194052\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">apologize<\/a> for &#8220;an ironic joke&#8221; using racially charged language.\u00a0The term &#8220;Uncle Tim&#8221; was trending on Twitter.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Politics Slams race-obsessed hucksters &#8216;making\u00a0money and gaining power by pretending we haven&#8217;t made any progress&#8217;  Getty Images  Andrew Stiles \u2022 April 29, 2021 12:08 &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2276974,"comment_status":"close","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/fb_image-4022.jpeg","fifu_image_alt":"Scott Outshines Biden, Enrages Libs With Inspiring Tale of Overcoming Adversity","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-461259","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/fb_image-4022.jpeg","fifu_image_alt":"Scott Outshines Biden, Enrages Libs With Inspiring Tale of Overcoming Adversity","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/461259","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=461259"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/461259\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2276974"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=461259"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=461259"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=461259"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
