Twitter flooded with racist smears, 'Uncle Tom' attacks after Sen. Tim Scott delivers RNC speech

The speech drew high praise from many for its fresh reminder of the promise of the American dream.
But unfortunately, in what is becoming a regular occurrence when Scott speaks, countless users online also flooded Twitter with racist smears and "Uncle Tom" attacks against the black senator.

One elected Democratic official, Rep. Steve Cohen (Tenn.), even liked a tweet that said Scott "might as well be white" given what his message is.

Sadly, these types of attacks against Scott are nothing new.

Earlier this year, Scott called out the racists on Twitter for heaving racial slurs at him after he was tapped to lead the Republican police reform legislation effort following the death of George Floyd by Minneapolis police officers in late May.
