come from republicans like former secretary of state collin powell. there is also a dark, a dark vein of intolerance in some parts of the party. what do i mean by that? what i mean by that is they still sort of look down on minorities. david gregory asking senator scott if he believes that s the case. i will tell you what, the g.o.p. really has become the great opportunity party. so often people look at the republican party and say they are a monolithic party that he we don t have multiple voices with different perspectives on the issue. the fact of the matter is what you saw after the state of the union is that there are many people in our party that are able to voice their concerns. the reason why the party continues to grow is that weke . we like the diversity of ideas. republican congressional candidate and former miss america erica herald joins us. nice to see you, erica. good to see you, greta. thanks for having me.
