Tim Scott should know not to further the myth that the GOP is racist

Washington Examiner contributor Kimberly Ross expresses very wise sentiments, but perhaps applies them to the wrong situation, in her recent post saying conservatives should not criticize Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., for killing the judicial nomination of Thomas Farr.

Ross writes that Republicans need to do a better job of reaching out to black Americans and of countering the “current narrative” that Republicans are unconcerned, or worse, about racism. “If consideration is not given to [black Americans] when matters of racism come up,” Ross writes, “then they’ll remain standing opposite of us.”
