fellow Conservative,

“See black senator’s emotional response to senator’s ‘token’ remark”

-CNN Headline

Here is a newsflash for CNN— I have a name and it's Tim Scott, and I also happen to represent over 5 million South Carolinians in the United States Senate.

I have dealt with this my entire life and especially during my time in politics. News outlets like CNN time and time again refuse to use my name when referring to me in article headlines.

The double standard with CNN is stunning. In fact, check out these headlines for Democrat Senators Kamala Harris and Cory Booker.

Why is it that when I give a floor speech on the same topic, I am simply referred to as a black senator?

Help me fight back by making a donation of $5, $15, $25, or even $50 to send a strong message to CNN and others in the media who refuse to use my name.

Could it be that CNN does not want to acknowledge that I am a conservative Republican Senator that is working on reforming our criminal justice system?

Fellow Conservative, sadly we have come to expect this type of treatment from CNN and others in the media.

They don’t want to hear my story or acknowledge my voice because it does not fit into the narratives they are trying to create.

They don’t want to hear how I was raised in a single parent household in North Charleston by a mother who worked 16-hour days as a nurse to put food on the table and put a roof over our heads.

They don’t want to hear that after almost failing out of high school as a freshman, I found a mentor who taught me about conservative values.

They don’t want to hear my voice which offers a fresh perspective as to how conservative values can unleash opportunity for all Americans.

I know I can count on you to help amplify my voice, even up against the constant attacks from CNN. Will you help me fight back by making a donation of $5, $15, $25, or even $50?
