In April 2021, ''[[Twitter]]'' allowed a racist insult against Republican Sen. [[Tim Scott]] of South Carolina to "trend" on its website/platform following the GOP rebuttal to Biden's [[SOTU]] speech in which Scott debunked the liberal leftist agenda, accused Democrats of trying "to use our painful past to dishonestly shut down debates in the present" and stating, "America is not a racist country."<ref>AILA SLISCO | ''Newsweek'', Read the Full Text of Tim Scott's Republican Rebuttal of Joe Biden's Joint Address to Congress, https://www.newsweek.com/read-full-text-tim-scotts-republican-rebuttal-joe-bidens-joint-address-congress-1587308, April 28, 2021</ref> Following the speech, angry leftists flooded ''Twitter'' in attempts to label the Senator "Uncle Tim" and using other racist slurs.
