Whoopi Goldberg: Tim Scott Used 'Dog Whistle,' Has 'Clarence Thomas Syndrome'

I came across an interesting article today about Whoopi Goldberg and her comments on Tim Scott’s response to President Biden’s speech to Congress. According to the article, Goldberg accused Scott of using a “dog whistle” and having “Clarence Thomas syndrome.”

Goldberg’s comments were in response to a speech Scott gave last week where he criticized Biden’s address, saying that the President’s policies were promoting division rather than unity. However, Goldberg believes that Scott’s language was intentionally misleading and potentially harmful.

In her comments on The View, Goldberg suggested that Scott may be using a “dog whistle,” a term used to describe language that has an underlying meaning or message that is often missed by those who are not part of a specific group. She also compared Scott to Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas who she believes routinely ignores racial issues and advances conservative policies.

While this article is certainly controversial, it highlights an important conversation about the language used by our politicians and public figures. As journalists, it’s critical that we report on these conversations and make sure that our readers are informed and engaged in these important debates.
