In yet another rebuke of what he called “woke supremacy,” Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) denounced “the ’tolerant' left’s intolerance of dissent” by highlighting an example of a Democrat senator who voted against a federal minimum wage hike and, allegedly, subsequently received death threats.

“That is woke supremacy. It is the ’tolerant' left’s intolerance for dissent. It is a progressive conception of diversity that does not include diversity of thought. It is discrimination falsely marketed as inclusion,” Scott wrote in a March 23 op-ed for The Washington Post, in which he detailed several times how “the woke folk” have come after him for comments that ran against prevailing liberal narratives.
