The Purpose Of The Trump Indictments Is To Demonstrate The Left’s Power

Once again, this isn’t hypocrisy, it’s hierarchy. And it amounts to a threat: Imagine what we can do to you.

White TV show host Joy Behar actually says black US Sen. Tim Scott doesn't get difference between a 'racist country' and 'systemic racism'



Joy Behar — among the more prominent and unapologetically un-self-aware co-hosts of "The View" — jumped off her left-wing high dive Thursday into depths unknown when, in all her woke whiteness, she lectured black U.S. Sen. Tim Scott on racism.

Yep.

What's the background?

Scott delivered the Republican rebuttal to President Joe Biden's address to a joint session of Congress on Wednesday, saying that despite Biden's claims, "America is not a racist country."

With that, a bunch of tolerant, diversity-loving leftists did their darnedest to discredit the South Carolina Republican by launching racial epithets at him. In fact, progressives used a racist slur against Scott — "Uncle Tim" — that began trending on Twitter for several hours before the platform began blocking it.

Interestingly, Vice President Kamala Harris just hours after Scott's statement said she agreed that America is not a racist country — yet her words drew comparatively little outrage.

What did Behar have to say?

Which brings us to Behar's reaction to Scott on "The View":

Now, Tim Scott, he does not seem to understand — and a lot of [Republicans] don't seem to understand — the difference between a racist country and ... systemic racism. They don't seem to get the difference. Yes, maybe it's not a racist country. Maybe Americans, the majority, are not racist. But we live in a country with systemic racism.

She added:

The fact that Tim Scott cannot acknowledge this ... is appalling. How can you go out there and say that when you just said two minutes ago that you were the object and the victim of discrimination? And then he says that this is not a racist country. At least acknowledge that there is systemic racism. That's what I wanted to hear from him, and he didn't say it.

How did Scott react the racist attacks against him?

Commenting about the racist attacks against him in general during a Thursday morning appearance on Fox News, Scott said it was "upsetting" and "so disappointing," adding that leftists "are literally attacking the color of my skin."

"The left has doubled down," he said. "You cannot step down out of your lane, according to the liberal elite left."

Scott added that "what they want for us is for us to stay in a small corner and not go against the tide that they think is America. Their America and my America are not the same if they think that discriminating is the fastest way to end discrimination."

Don't forget about Behar's blackface incident

Despite all of Behar's racially aware bluster, it would seem to fizzle out in the face of the notorious 2019 release of a photo of her wearing darkening makeup and dressing as a "beautiful African woman" in the 1970s:

The embarrassing photo came to the fore once again in September 2020 when Kimberly Klacik — a Maryland Republican who was running for Congress at the time — called out Behar for the photo during an interview on "The View."

Things got testy in a hurry:

Lucasfilm fired Gina Carano for a Holocaust comparison. So what will they do with Pedro Pascal's tweet doing the same?



On Wednesday, Lucasfilm fired actress Gina Carano for a social media post referring to the Holocaust that her critics said was anti-Semitic. But she's not the only "The Mandalorian" actor who has posted ill-advised Holocaust comparisons on social media.

Carano, who played Cara Dune on Disney+'s popular Star Wars series was fired ostensibly for making an "abhorrent and unacceptable" social media post citing Jewish oppression at the hands of the Nazis and comparing it to censorship of conservative points of view and cancel culture. Her post triggered a social media campaign by the left on Tuesday to have her fired by Lucasfilm.

did she just compare the holocaust to being a republican .. #FireGinaCarano https://t.co/an3css7Kdr

This was the latest in a series of social media controversies surrounding the actress in which voices on the left demanded that she be canceled for holding unpopular opinions. Last September, when social media demanded Carano add pronouns to her bio to "support trans lives," she jokingly added the words "boop/bop/beep" to her Twitter name.

"They're mad cuz I won't put pronouns in my bio to show my support for trans lives. After months of harassing me in every way. I decided to put 3 VERY controversial words in my bio.. beep/bop/boop," she tweeted in response to the criticism. "I'm not against trans lives at all. They need to find less abusive representation." This was apparently transphobic.

In subsequent social media posts, Carano tweeted a meme questioning COVID-19 mask mandates, made comments calling for laws to increase election security, and liked social media posts making the point that Black Lives Matter probably shouldn't riot if they want people to sympathize with their cause.

Each of these social media posts generated a controversy with people calling for her to be fired. On Wednesday, a spokesperson for Lucasfilm finally confirmed that Carano was no longer employed by the company, which is owned by Disney. After news broke that Carano had been canned by Lucasfilm, many of the social media users calling for her firing cheered.

But if Carano's post, in the words of the Lucasfilm spokesperson, is "denigrating people based on their cultural and religious identities" and also "abhorrent and unacceptable," what does Lucasfilm make of this 2018 tweet from "The Mandalorian" star Pedro Pascal?

Here, Pascal is comparing former President Donald Trump's immigration policies to the Holocaust. The tweet leaves out important context. The "kids in cages" narrative surrounding Trump's policies was misleading, given that the Obama administration built the facilities where migrants detained under Trump's "zero-tolerance" immigration enforcement policies were held.

There is no comparable outrage over Pascal's tweet. No one on the left calling for him to be fired, or accusing him of anti-Semitism or white supremacy for his Holocaust comparison.
