South Carolina Senator Tim Scott has announced an exploratory committee for president; he released a 3-minute video on Wednesday announcing his plans and speaking about his experience in America.
“On this day, April 12, 1861, in this harbor, the first shots of the Civil War were fired and our country faced the defining moment: Would we truly be one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. America’s soul was put to the test – and we prevailed,” Scott said at the top of the video.
From Fox News:
Scott, a rising star in the GOP and the only Black Republican in the Senate, charged that Democrats “weaponize race to divide us to hold onto their power,” and highlighted that “when I fought back against their liberal agenda they called me a prop. A token. Because I disrupt their narrative. I threaten their control. They know the truth of my life disproves their lies.”
Scott spotlighted his modest upbringing, noting that he “was raised by a single mother in poverty. The spoons in our apartment were plastic, not silver.”
…
Scott is on what he calls his “Faith in America” listening tour, which he said would help him decide whether to launch a presidential campaign. Word of the tour was first reported by Fox News earlier this year.
