Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.), the lone black Republican member of the U.S. Senate, played a sample of the racist messages he and his staff have received during a closed-door lunch meeting Tuesday with other Republican senators, Politico reported.
Scott has been tasked with leading the Republican police reform effort in the wake of recent police killings of black individuals and the resulting racial justice protests across the nation.
What did the messages say? One of the messages included a person calling Scott "Uncle Tim," a play on the racist "Uncle Tom" insult, and saying Scott was the "lowest piece of s**t this country ever produced."
A second message Scott played was filled with profanity and had been left with Scott's staff assistant after the assistant hung up on the person for their refusal to stop cursing.
