Even though Sen. Scott has yet to deliver his rebuttal, the Washington Post’s Glenn Kessler has already found something about Scott to “fact check”:
Sen. Tim Scott says he went from "Cotton to Congress in one lifetime," but his ancestors owned unusually large amounts of land. Fact Checker investigates. https://t.co/HlLTppVTgM

A “tale”:
New #FactChecker –> Tim Scott often talks about his grandfather and cotton. There’s more to that tale. https://t.co/Pg4WSUNHFs

Dude, really?
Actually, Tim Scott’s grandfather left school to pick cotton, but it was for a family farm that was larger than most, making the back-breaking work much easier than, say, using white privilege to sit at a keyboard and attack a black man and his family for daring to have success. https://t.co/LwYPcIlYP8

Feels like you want people to skim this and conclude he's dishonest, since a detailed reading of it reveals you as the dishonest party.

This is… tacky. That’s the best word I have for it.

Not exactly covering yourself in glory here @GlennKesslerWP
tl;dr
Scott says his grandfather had to drop out of school at 10 yrs old to pick cotton, but ACKSHUALLY he was 11 & it was only because his father was a cotton farmer & the Great Depression had driven down prices. https://t.co/9OlMWWwYJH

Just when you think the mainstream media can't sink any lower… https://t.co/BUBxc4eep1

Sadly we believe the mainstream media are currently nowhere near as low as they plan on sinking.
Some things are better left unfact-checked, dude. https://t.co/dfqkLArO1t

Yes, please tell the black man more about how he should perceive his history……. pic.twitter.com/aJoPFfhW8s

That time a leftist hack attempted to delegitimize a black man’s ancestral history in the cotton fields because said ancestor’s work ethic and devotion to family were a little too strong (uppity) for the leftist hack’s tastes. #bigot https://t.co/jiSruDC3Sm
