“History will not be kind to Tim Scott,” Soledad O’Brien tweeted in response to his vote to advance Farr’s nomination.

Her response was among the more polite objections registered in response to Scott’s vote.

Others blasted him as a “token,” “traitor,” “sellout” and “empty suit.”

“Thomas Farr is not fit to serve. He has a long, long history of being hostile to voting rights and voter suppression,” said Rep. G.K. Butterfield, a Wilson, North Carolina Democrat and former chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus.

You hate Tim Scott. You think he's a token, a traitor, a sellout, an empty suit. You think it's treason for a BLACK to be a REPUBLICAN.
