Will Trump Ever Do Something Too Racist for Senator Tim Scott? - Steve Shives [View all]



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
