Related: About this forumWill Trump Ever Do Something Too Racist for Senator Tim Scott? - Steve Shives
Here are the key points from the video:
Trump shared a racist video depicting Barack and Michelle Obama with ape bodies, which was later taken down after backlash
Senator Tim Scott condemned it as "the most racist thing I've seen out of this White House," calling for its removal
White House initially defended it as just an "internet meme," then later claimed a staffer posted it erroneously
The speaker questions Tim Scott's allegiance to the Republican Party, asking if political benefits are worth enduring racism from his own party
The video argues Republicans use Scott as a token to provide cover against accusations of racism while not truly respecting him
The speaker challenges Scott's self-respect, suggesting he knows how his white Republican colleagues talk about him behind his back but continues supporting them anyway

Horrifying as this is, I dont think it was the worst by a long shot. My definition of racism includes economic harm, loss of healthcare, and electoral disenfranchisement, which was apparently just fine. Im glad he said something, just to get it covered in the pusillanimous media, and Ill take it as a clear sign that everyone has had too much of this shit.
