My first thought is why a reporter (a white guy) would be calling anyone an Uncle Tom in 2020?  And a sports reporter no less. 

I guess that Senator has friends in high places...at least higher than that reporter.

A rare instance of "cancel culture" being appropriate.

Politicians and bureaucrats are considered productive if they swarm the populace like a plague of locust, devouring all substance in their path and leaving a swath of destruction like a firestorm. The technical term is "bipartisanship".
