Sen. Tim Scott, the only African American Republican senator, said he agrees with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell that reparations are not a 'realistic path forward' because it's just too complicated to figure out who to compensate
Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina, the only African American Republican senator, told CNN on Wednesday that he agrees with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell that reparations are not a"realistic path forward" because it's just too complicated to figure out who to compensate.
"There is no question that slavery is a scourge on the history of America," Scott said."The question is, are reparations a realistic path forward? The answer is no. The fact is if you just try to unscramble that egg to figure out who are we compensating, who's actually paying for it and who was here in 1865?"He added,"I think you start seeing a formula that is impossible to unscramble that egg. So I think it's a nonstarter.
