Kimmel mocked Scott by pointing out that Scott is the only black GOP U.S senator and thus had no right to assume the GOP isn\u2019t racist, taunting, \u201cAn amazing thing happened after the speech. Every black Republican senator got together to let the American people know the Republican party isn\u2019t racist.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kimmel played a clip of Scott\u2019s rebuttal in which Scott stated, \u201cBy doubling down on the divisions we\u2019ve worked so hard to heal. You know this stuff is wrong. Hear me clearly. America is not a racist country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kimmel mocked, \u201cAnd then Tim promptly returned to the sensory deprivation egg he calls home. Senator Scott accused Democrats, in his rebuttal, of using race as a weapon, when the truth is we\u2019re more concerned about people using weapons as a weapon. Race would be a terrible weapon. What would you do, melanin a person to death?\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\" readability=\"8.695530726257\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">How many of the 50 Democratic Senators are black? <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/jimmykimmel?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@JimmyKimmel<\/a> on <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SenatorTimScott?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@SenatorTimScott<\/a>: \u201cEvery black Republican Senator got together to let the American people know the Republican Party isn\u2019t racist\u2026.And then Tim promptly returned to the sensory deprivation egg\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Kimmel?src=hash&#038;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Kimmel<\/a> (Answer: 2) <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/3OgrnZI87s\">pic.twitter.com\/3OgrnZI87s<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Brent Baker (@BrentHBaker) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BrentHBaker\/status\/1387998494074580993?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 30, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Kimmel, of course, ignored the fact that his party of choice, the Democratic Party, has a whopping total of two black senators, Cory Booker of New Jersey and newly-elected Raphael Warnock of Georgia.<\/p>\n<p>As for Kimmel\u2019s mockery of Scott\u2019s contention that Democrats use race as a weapon, the clip he played was not where Scott referred to Democrats using race as a weapon; moreover, the clip revolved around Scott speaking of all Americans. Kimmel conveniently elided the statements Scott made immediately preceding the clip, in which Scott stated, \u201cWhen America comes together, we\u2019ve made tremendous progress. But powerful forces want to pull us apart.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When Scott did indeed refer to race being used as a weapon, he was referring to Democrats and their attacks on the GOP as the GOP attempts to clean up elections. He said:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"27\">\n<p><em>The state of Georgia passed a law that expands early voting; preserves no-excuse mail-in voting; and, despite what the President claimed, did not reduce Election Day hours. If you actually read this law, it\u2019s mainstream. It will be easier to vote early in Georgia than in Democrat-run New York. But the Left doesn\u2019t want you to know that. They want people to virtue-signal by yelling about a law they haven\u2019t even read.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Fact-checkers have called out the White House for misstatements. The President absurdly claims this is worse than Jim Crow. What is going on here? I\u2019ll tell you. A Washington power grab.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>This misplaced outrage is supposed to justify Democrats\u2019 sweeping bill that would take over elections for all 50 states; send public funds to political campaigns you disagree with; and make the bipartisan Federal Elections Commission\u2026 partisan! This is not about civil rights or our racial past. It\u2019s about rigging elections in the future.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>And, no \u2014 the same filibuster that President Obama and President Biden praised when they were Senators, that Democrats used just last year, has not suddenly become a racist relic just because the shoe is on the other foot. Race is not a political weapon to settle every issue the way one side wants.
