Whoopi Goldberg said that she could not tell the difference between Republican Sens. Rick Scott of Florida and Tim Scott of South Carolina without a picture during Tuesday’s episode of “The View.”
“You know Tim Scott – black Tim Scott, because there are two Scotts, and I don’t know how to differentiate them, without a picture,” Goldberg said to co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin, a former Trump administration official. “He’s running. Rick Scott and Tim Scott. Tim Scott is black, right? He’s about to run, announce he’s running, they’re going to be coming out of the woodwork, so don’t just settle.”
The co-hosts on the ABC show were discussing potential Republican candidates for the 2024 presidential election after former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley announced her candidacy.
WATCH:
Tim Scott, who is black, gave the Republican response to President Joe Biden’s address to a joint session of Congress in April 2021 and has served in the Senate since 2012. His name has been floated as a potential candidate for the Republican nomination.

Scott has faced attacks from liberals for being a black conservative, and read some of the hate mail he received on the Senate floor during the 2017 debate on whether then-Republican Sen. Jeff Sessions of Alabama should be confirmed as attorney general.
Rick Scott, who is white, represents Florida in the Senate after two terms as governor, defeating then-Democrat Sen. Bill Nelson in 2018. He ran unsuccessfully against Republican Sen. Mitch McConnell to lead Senate Republicans after the 2022 midterm elections that saw the party underperform expectations of a nation-wide “red wave” while Scott served as chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC).
Sens. Tim Scott and Rick Scott did not immediately respond to requests for comment from the Daily Caller News Foundation.
EDITOR’S NOTE: Long the world’s most Christian nation, America today is being taken over by a new “official” national religion, one being imposed on the entire populace by every major societal institution, from government, media and big tech, to academia, entertainment and business.
This new state religion is Wokeism. “Going woke” conjures up visions of someone claiming to be acutely sensitive (“awake”) to “systemic social and political injustice.” And not just alleged bigotry against blacks, but toward every other “minority” as well, from LGBT folk – especially everything transgender and “nonbinary” – to “undocumented immigrants.” All of them, being VICTIMS, intrinsically more virtuous than the shameful oppressor class: primarily heterosexual white males.
This new “woke” consciousness has turned America upside-down – from the nationwide Antifa and Black Lives Matter riots in 2020, to tearing down of historic monuments, to demanding multi-million-dollar reparation payments for blacks, to appointing transgenders as top government officials, to rampant reverse discrimination in every area of life, to the U.S. military imposing mandatory “diversity training” and transgender pronoun use on all personnel, causing recruitment to disastrously plummet.
Yet there is hope. Being “saved” – which in Wokeism is called being “woke” – is largely a matter of worshipping victimhood by becoming an “ally” and “defender” of all the many victim classes, and a determined enemy of the straight white male oppressor class. Thus, “joining the righteous” as an ally – even if one is cursed to be a straight white male – opens the door mercifully for salvation, even to the most wretched.
That is the power of the religion of Wokeism. And it’s explored as never before in the February 2023 issue of WND’s critically acclaimed monthly Whistleblower magazine. If you’ve ever wondered, for example, exactly how the most radical elements in American society are successfully pressuring the biggest corporations into adopting the most outrageous and immoral policies imaginable, even when doing so permanently damages and devalues the company, the stunning answers are in this issue of Whistleblower, titled “WOKEISM: AMERICA’S OFFICIAL STATE RELIGION.”
