Spot the racist: Dick Durbin caught in a ‘tell’
By Jack Hellner

Perhaps taking his cue from an NBC host, Senator Dick Durbin used a racist “dog whistle” expression so patently vile that he has been forced to apologize.

Last week NBC host Craig Melvin asked a black Senator if he was being used as a token. Via The Right Scoop:

    UGH: NBC hosts asks Sen. Tim Scott if the GOP is using him as a “token”

    NBC host Craig Melvin had the nerve to ask Senator Tim Scott if the GOP was using him as a “token” on the issue on police reforms, as if it were a legitimate criticism: 

 Then yesterday Senator Durbin used the same dog whistle "token" term to describe the results of Tim Scott's work and apologized.
