The remark came on the heels of an NAACP leader calling Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., a “ventriloquist dummy” for the GOP.
Rep. Holmes stood by his use of the “Uncle Tom” label when confronted by radio host David Webb last week, saying Thomas allows himself to be “used to carry the message of a white man, which is against the interests of black people in America.” In the video below, Webb also pushed Rep. Holmes on comments he was reported to have made about interracial marriages, apparently in reference to Clarence and Ginni Thomas.
Then, Rep. Holmes echoed the criticism on Sen. Scott, saying he “takes every position the white folk tell him to take.” Webb told Fox News’ Sean Hannity that Rep. Holmes did not seem to know much about Sen. Scott’s positions or policies. “This is hypocrisy; disingenuousness. It’s kind of the old demagogue routine that we can’t accept as Americans,” said Webb.
