.SenatorTimScott clashes with 'The View' hosts after calling out 'disgusting message' about race
Republican presidential candidate Tim Scott clashes with Sunny Hostin over race issues on 'The View.'on Monday and criticized them over previous comments made on the program about him being the"exception" to systemic racism in the U.S., saying it was an"offensive, disgusting message" to send to young people.
"The fact of the matter is we’ve had an African American president, African American vice president, we’ve had two African Americans to be secretaries of the state. In my home city, the police chief is an African American who’s now running for mayor. The head of the highway patrol for South Carolina is an African American. In 1975, there was about 15% unemployment in the African American community for the first time in the country, it’s under 5%," Scott said.
"Progress in America is measured in generations. My grandfather born in 1921 in Salley, South Carolina, when he was on a sidewalk, a White person was coming, he had to step off and not make eye contact. That man believed then, with some doubt now, in the goodness of America, because he believed that faith in God, faith in himself, and faith in what the future could hold for his kids, would unleash opportunities in ways that you cannot imagine," Scott continued.
