South Carolina Republican senator and 2024 hopeful Tim Scott fired back at Sunny Hostin and the hosts of ABC's "The View" on Thursday, after what he considered a racially charged attack on his relationship status.
Hostin said that there should be concern over a figure like Virginia Thomas, the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, coming into a 'President Scott's' life and potentially influencing him.
Virginia Thomas has been criticized on the left for her conservative activism while her husband sits on the bench and hears cases that may have connections to subjects pertaining to such activism.
On "Hannity," host Sean Hannity pointed out the racial element of Hostin's remarks, noting Justice Thomas — a Black man from Savannah — married a White woman from the Great Plains.
