Tim Scott wins US Senate race and is 1st black to win statewide in SC since Reconstruction

COLUMBIA, South Carolina — South Carolina voters have sent Republican Tim Scott back to the U.S. Senate, making him the first black candidate to win a statewide race since just after the Civil War. Scott was declared the winner based on projections from exit poll data.

Scott has served in the U.S. Senate since January 2013, appointed to the post by Gov. Nikki Haley after Jim DeMint resigned. He has spent his time quietly building support back home and expanding his base from Charleston. His seat will be up for re-election for a full term in 2016. Scott is also the first African-American senator from the South since Reconstruction.

A historic achievement! Congrats to Scott for this.

Hopefully he wont receive the same guff he got last time from the democrat party.

Is the only thing you can do is cry about my comments?

Why aren't you celebrating Tim Scott's historic victory?

Did you see that Mia Love got elected last night too? She will be the first black Republican Congressional rep in history. I was waiting for Al Sharpton to get excited about it. He didn't.

Why should we be excited about a republican winning? Do you get a hard on when a black democrat wins?
 
Re: Tim Scott wins US Senate race and is 1st black to win statewide in SC since Recon

All the excitement that republicans have over two black senators shows how far behind they are with the rest of the country.

WELCOME TO THE 21ST CENTURY !!!!!!

It is pretty fun to watch them fall all over themselves to praise finally electing a black person. I thought republicans didn't like racial politics.

I am sure that behind the scenes, the democrats are referring to him as an "uncle tom".

Behind the scenes? Some are out there in social media spouting it freely. No one significant but run of the mill liberals.

Sharpton is a Democrat. :confused:

Who is always cheering about the good fortune of black politicians.

Apparently Mia Love isn't the right kind of black politician.

We can't rule out that racism may be a factor here. Just saying.

One of the first things she did was say she didn't get elected because she was black or a woman. So thats an automatic write off from the race baiters and poverty pimps.
