South Carolina senator and Black Republican Tim Scott gave the Republican response to President Joe Biden’s address to Congress Wednesday night, in which he announced America isn’t racist and seemed surprised when Black Americans checked him.
During his 15-minute speech, Scott said President Joe Biden seems like a good man but is dividing the country by pursuing major legislation. Scott also gave credit for the coronavirus recovery to former President Donald Trump.
However, what really stuck out from his speech was when he used his own personal story of being a son to a single mother and a grandson to an illiterate Black man who was forced to pick cotton to connect with minorities lamenting racism before condemning Democrats for their response to racism.
