A longtime sports reporter was fired after using a slur on social media to describe Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.), one of three African-American senators in Washington.
Fred Gerteiny, whose Twitter timeline is full of anti-President Donald Trump and anti-Republican sentiment, claimed Scott was a sellout for declining to criticize the president over his response to a call to condemn white supremacists during Tuesday night’s debate.
