Trey Gowdy Goes On a Tear Against Joy Reid for Comments About Tim Scott: Calling Him ‘A Prop or a Token’

By Josh Feldman Mar 8th, 2021, 7:58 pm

Former South Carolina Congressman Trey Gowdy came to the defense of current South Carolina Senator Tim Scott after recent comments from MSNBC’s Joy Reid.

Last week, as Reid was talking about a recent press conference with GOP senators, she showed video of John Thune opposing Democrats’ minimum wage push and made a comment about Scott “standing there to provide the patina of diversity.”

Before interviewing Scott, Gowdy — back for his second week guest-hosting Fox News Primetime — slammed Reid for her comments and said it was “her way of calling Senator Scott a prop or a token.”

“If Joy Reid knew anything about Tim Scott, she would understand full well why he would be participating in a press conference on the minimum wage!” he continued. “Tim Scott was one of three U.S. senators chosen to work on the tax reform legislation because he made himself an expert on the issue, not because he’s Black.”

2. ANY time my eyes see an AA with an R behind their name...

my brain screams WHY???????????????????????????

3. I believe props or tokens should be called out.

I think it's offensive for right-wingers to rely on that one token to try to soil the opinions and views of a mostly tight demographic.

4. Someone touched a nerve...

5. Scott is just another extreme right wing Republican who has voted against food stamps and other

policies that help those who need it.

Characterizing him as a token is an unfortunate use of words. There is plenty to go after him on where he stands on issues. He believes the RW ideology

He definitely isn’t for helping people who need it

9. did he speak at said press conference?

if not, that would make him a prop in my opinion. If he did speak and give an opinion than no he wouldn't be a prop.

10. He isn't a prop, he believes their bullshit. He refused to join the Black caucus when asked, and

his position on the issues parallels gowdy and the other jackasses at that press conference

Herman Cain, Clarence Thomas, etc do not represent the vast majority of African Americans, just like miller or kushner do not represent the vast majority of American Jews

6. Bullshit Trey

Scott is the very epitome of "some of my friends are black". It's the ONLY reason he is ever pictured in Retrumplican photo ops.

He's nothing but a Human Shield.

Please see Don King, Peaches and Cream (or whatever the fuck those YouTube nitwits call themselves), Kanye West and Herschel Walker for some examples.

Always amazed why anyone who is black would want to be a member of the deplorable/American Nazi party. Let's see. You have your racist, misogynist,anti-semitic, gay bashing, union hating, all out for their wallet and fuck everybody else crowd etc, that are proud members in that party.

If you are a black person, the deplorable/American Nazi party thinks of you as dirt under their feet and you should know your "place". The good news is most people of all minorities as well as decent people of all stripes in the democrat party are accepting and embracing of one another and black people have a home there of which 90% plus are all hard-core members of the Democrat party and welcome by everybody in that party.

I'm a life long democrat, been a proud union leader and have always bought into the democrat credo of helping others as opposed to the republican's motto of helping themselves.
