Lincoln Project Senior Advisor Tara Olivia Setmayer, a former CNN political commentator and contributor to ABC News — quite the “conservative” credentials, eh? — isn’t the sharpest knife in the drawer, mind you, but her transparent attack against Sen. Scott during an appearance on MSNBC [where else?] was a clown show and a half — with the half being fellow Mensa member [sarc], host Jonathon Capehart, who’s also black.

While Setmayer’s “analysis” of Scott was pure cringe enough, the stupid smirk on her face was top-shelf stuff indeed. Capehart kicked off the festivities by mocking Sen. Scott:

Senator Scott [is] fascinating. A black Republican who isn’t too shy in talking about race, but whose views on race can be problematic — both within the GOP and in the general public. So, I mean, am I giving him too much credit?

Setmayer went full clown world the minute she dismissively opened her snarky mouth (emphasis, mine):

Listen, I — Tim Scott, bless his heart — is trying to make a name for himself now, taking advantage of the fact that Republicans in every election cycle need a racial pacifier. He’s their racial security blanket in the race, given all the context of what’s gone on with Trump and Republicans over the last few years.

Stop the tape.

What, exactly, has “gone on with Trump and Republicans over the last few years” that points to racism? On the contrary, even CNN’s Van Jones in 2020 praised Trump’s achievements within the black community, as Trump’s approval rating among black voters hit a historic high.
