We love it when left-leaning media expose each others’ double standards.

It’s about time someone called out progressive Twitter. What’s surprising is that it came from left-leaning Yahoo.

Its news service reported that the social media giant finally blocked the “Uncle Tim” racial slurs that flooded it last week.

The slurs were against SC Republican Sen. Tim Scott who delivered the rebuttal to President Biden’s address to Congress.

Scott is Black and from the SC Low Country. In his GOP rebuttal, he said the United States is not a racist country. He said he had encountered racism in his life from the left in the form of being called an “Uncle Tom.”

The derogatory phrase for Blacks who are viewed as deferential to Whites came from Harriet Beecher Stowe’s novel “Uncle Tom’s Cabin.”

“I get called Uncle Tom and the N-word by progressives, by liberals,” Scott said.

A Twitter spokesperson told Fox News the company is blocking the words but, as Yahoo pointed out, it left the slurs online for almost 12 hours.

The spokesperson said the company wants “to promote healthy conversations.”

Twitter says that it uses an algorithm “tailored for you based on who you follow, your interests, and your location.”

Many Republicans and conservatives have complained tha Twitter has trampled on their 1st Amendment free speech rights by censoring or banning them from its platform.

They also say Twitter practices a double standard by letting progressives and Democrats get away with slurs and other offensive language.

Sen. Scott is not the 1st SC Republican to be attached by the left. Rep. Joe Wilson of Springdale was savaged after he called President Obama’s “you get to keep your health care plan” remark a lie.

Wilson, one of a few Congressional members who read the entire Obamacare proposal, proved to be right.

Leftists to their shame attack Sen. Tim Scott and call him “Uncle Tom” and the N-word.
