Within less than 24 hours after black Republicans Herschel Walker, Kimberly Klacik, Vernon Jones, and Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) delivered powerful speeches at the RNC, the racial slur “Uncle Tom” was trending on Twitter — the work of leftists who objected to Walker’s, Klacik’s, Jones’s, and Scott’s political leanings.

“Whether through sheer coincidence — or not — ‘Uncle Tom’ was one of the top trending topics on Twitter Tuesday morning following the opening night of the Republican National Convention (RNC) that featured several Black men making the case for Donald Trump to be re-elected,” reported News One. “More than 6,000 ‘Uncle Tom’ tweets were posted following speeches from Democratic Georgia State Rep. Vernon Jones, former professional football star Herschel Walker and South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott.”
