On Wednesday's episode of the ABC talk show “The View,” co-host Whoopi Goldberg launched a truly vile attack on Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.), calling him a “crazy tune” to deny systemic racism.
Goldberg attacks Scott
Goldberg attacked Scott while she and her co-hosts were interviewing Clay Kane, who recently released a book called “The Grift: The Downward Spiral of the Black Republicans.”
“Let’s not forget that he voted against the Voting Rights Act, repealed the George Floyd Police Act, and came on this very show and denied systemic racism,” Caine said.
Ultra-liberal host Sunny Hostin responded by claiming that Scott “insulted” her when he appeared on “The View” last year.
“Well, I've been here too,” Goldberg said before viciously attacking Scott.

Joy Behar chimes in
Host Joy Behar said it was difficult for her to watch Scott speak at Donald Trump's rallies, adding that he was “desperate” for power.
“The sad thing about Tim Scott is I think he knows that if he calls out bigotry within his own party in exchange for a bigoted endorsement for president, he knows they will fire him faster than Liz Cheney,” Kaine said.
“It's a heartwarming thing to watch,” Behar continued, noting that Scott had recently gotten engaged. “It's because he wants the vice president's job, right? So the engagement was a good way to say, 'Hey, I'm going to get married.' I'm going to be legitimate. I can be Trump's vice president.”

During an appearance on “The View” last year, Scott refused to pander to the left's narrative about systemic racism in the United States.
“One of the reasons I got on the show is because of the comments made frankly on that show that the only way for an African-American kid to succeed in this country is to be the exception and not the rule,” Scott said at the time, according to Fox News. “It is a dangerous, insulting and disgusting message to send to our young people today that the only way to succeed is to be the exception.”
Scott did not stop there, but proceeded to brag about the success of African Americans in the United States, pointing to the record low unemployment rate among African Americans.
“Progress in America is clear and can be measured over generations,” he said. “I look back to the fact that my grandfather, born in 1921 in Sally, South Carolina, when he was on the sidewalk, there was a white guy coming up — he had to get off and didn't make eye contact.”
“That man believed, with some doubt now, in the goodness of America, because he believed that faith in God, faith in himself, faith in what the future could hold for his children, would unleash opportunity in ways you couldn't imagine.” Scott added. “So, what I'm proposing is that yesterday's exception is today's rule.”

There is no one that shameless liberals like Goldberg hate more than a black conservative, and the presence of someone like Scott completely destroys their narrative that the Republican Party is full of racists. Goldberg can attack Scott all she wants, but if she really wants to see a “crazy beat,” all she has to do is look in the mirror.
