The Democratic Party’s allies in the mainstream media have never been shy about their distaste for black conservatives, and their animus was on full display last week when Sen. Tim Scott (S.C.), a black Republican, announced he is exploring a run for president.

“Republicans every election cycle need a racial pacifier,” Lincoln Project senior adviser Tara Setmayer said on MSNBC, dismissing Scott’s election bid. “He’s their racial security blanket in the race.”

For posterity’s sake, the Washington Free Beacon has assembled a compilation of some of the most egregious instances of media pundits accusing Scott of betraying his race, like when MSNBC’s Joy Reid accused him of “endors[ing] white power,” or when Mehdi Hasan said Scott downplays his race “until it becomes useful” to Republicans.
