During a contentious interview with Republican South Carolina Senator Tim Scott on Thursday, NBC’s 3rd Hour Today show co-host Craig Melvin wondered if the only black GOP member of the U.S. Senate was being “used” by his party as a “token” to lead policing reform efforts in the wake of George Floyd’s death. Scott promptly rejected the insulting suggestion.After allowing the Senator to briefly outline the Republican proposal for police reform, Melvin launched his nasty attack: “Senator, you have faced a fair amount of criticism, especially over the past few days, because you are the only black Republican senator, some have said that your party is using you,

This is why democrats are democrats. They are not capable of critical thinking. All in all, they're downright stupid.

I sincerely hope Senator Tim Scott knows we Republicans admire and value him as a wonderful American citizen. He has done much for interracial understanding, help for those who need it, and general humanity. He stands with our great President Trump.

"Some" have said? Could you please be at least a little more specific, Craig? Some people you've seen on the bus? Some office-mates of yours? Some members of your family? Some of your alternative personalities or identities? Or just some Democrats (for whom you are a useful mouthpiece masquerading as news)?

Two can play that game; so Mel, does the NBC brass use you to pick their cotton? Kind of offensive isn't it. Shove it Mel.

Isn't it up to the people of South Carolina to decide if they want to be represented by a 'token' or not? Its not up to the Rebublican Party.

Good for Mr. Melvin the interview was on remote feed, I would have hauled off and slugged him for that snarky question!

I am so tired of the smugness of these lefty, commie people with their air of superiority. You want a token, look no further than Barrack Hussein Obama and his wife!

I don't know Melvin. Did NBC hire you to show that mental defectives are people, too?

"No, Craig, they are not. And that was incredibly racist of you to ask.
But since it's on the table, is NBC using you as a token?"

It's long past time that the answers to some of these questions should be "How dare you" and "Have you no shame." We know the answers, the responses are just for rhetorical purposes.

From what I see on a daily basis on the nightly news, the only tokens out there are all still firmly ensconced on the Democrat Party Plantation, and massa takes a dim view of anyone who attempts to escape or think for themselves!!!

Why doesn't NBC hire at least one token black conservative to add a little diversity to its lineup?

Craig Melvin trying to get a headline however he can. What a low life! Oh no, I better not say that, he's Black. He's obviously a "token" but is too stupid to recognize it.

Why don't they just say what they mean which is to call all black Republicans Uncle Tom.

I would love to have seen an emergency alert about paramedic still trying to get Senator Scott's fist out of Mr. Melvin's bridge work.

amd here I thought that MR Scott was ELECTED to be SEN Scott. I hadn't realized he was appointed by a bunch of Whites.

Craig, you racist still-on-the-plantation pig, this South Carolinian voted for another black conservative, Duke Buckner, in the senate primary on Tuesday. But, sadly, Miss Lindsey won again.
It’s too bad that Craig and Senator Scott were not in the same studio - Scott could have decked Craig’s racist arse.

Tim Scott is a better man than me on this. I would have stood up unhooked the mikes or taken my notes, without saying a word and walked off set. He instead made several points against lowlifes, but very insulting. All reasons why the media never visits the heartland. Imagine if you were about your business and one of these pukes identified themselves.

"This is something you probably wouldn't understand, Craig. On the right, we judge according to the content of a man's character, not the color of his skin. That's something that used to be viewed as a universal virtue. Being on the left, you would judge based upon skin color.
I'm here because they wanted me to share the content of my mind, not be a token.
