It’s finally happened. Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) has smacked a Twitter troll into last week.

In response to being called a “house n***a,” a disparaging term routinely used by the left to mock black conservatives, Scott fired back with a one-word response.

To put that into visual terms...

Ouch. The racially insensitive tweet was ultimately deleted — and then the account was too.

Some of the Twitter reactions are gold:

As the first black Republican senator since Reconstruction, Scott has had to put up with more than his fair share of racial jabs from his liberal critics.

Clearly, he's figured out how to handle it — just drop the mic on 'em.

Not bad, Senator.
