It’s finally happened. Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) has smacked a Twitter troll into last week.
In response to being called a “house nigga,” a disparaging term routinely used by the left to mock black conservatives, Scott fired back with a one-word response.
Ouch. The racially insensitive tweet was ultimately deleted — and then the account was too.

As the first black Republican senator since Reconstruction, Scott has had to put up with more than his fair share of racial jabs from his liberal critics.
Clearly, he's figured out how to handle it — just drop the mic on 'em.
Not bad, Senator.
