Liberal media outlets almost completely ignored the “Uncle Tim” slurs that trended on social media against Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., after his rebuttal Wednesday to President Biden’s address to Congress.

Scott, the lone Black Republican in the U.S. Senate, infuriated progressives with his speech, which included remarks that the United States isn’t a racist country. After his rebuttal, “Uncle Tim” trended on Twitter, a play on the “Uncle Tom” slur for Blacks viewed as overly deferential to Whites.

Yet the primetime shows on liberal cable outlets CNN and MSNBC ignored the attacks Thursday, as did “CBS Evening News” and ABC’s “World News Tonight.” CNN and MSNBC’s websites also both skipped the racially charged story, as did the New York Times. The network’s morning shows also skipped the story Friday morning, according to a transcript search.

MSNBC’s far-left program “The Reidout” briefly addressed the story Thursday evening, with one guest defending the use of the phrase due to Scott’s Republican politics.

Examples of far-left viciously attacking Sen. Tim Scott with racist rhetoric.

‘Woke & blind liberal’, Jimmy Kimmel, who has dabbled in blackface, slammed for attacking Tim Scott as token Black Republican.

A Twitter spokesperson told Fox News Thursday morning that the company was blocking the phrase, but it was allowed to trend for hours overnight.
