Good evening. I’m Senator Tim Scott from the great state of South Carolina.
We just heard President Biden’s first address to Congress.
Our President seems like a good man. His speech was full of good words.

He promised to unite a nation. To lower the temperature. To govern for all Americans, no matter how we voted.
