| Senate Democrats, they're in panic mode after a report by the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies that shows minorities are underrepresented in Democratic staff positions on Capitol Hill. | |
| And Politico points out that African Americans and Latinos, they represent more than a third of self-identified Democrats nationwide, but they hold less than 3% of senior staff positions for Senate Democrats. | |
| Despite liberals constantly claiming Republicans are racist and bigoted. | |
| It turns out that the senator with the most diverse office and this staff is Republican. | |
| Last month, a Senate staffer reluctantly told the New York Daily News, quote, the lone black chief of staff in the entire U.S. Senate works with South Carolina Republican Tim Scott. | |
| Now his office may be the most diverse in the entire Senate. | |
| Sounds like the Democrats have a lot of soul searching to do. | |
