2024 GOP candidate Tim Scott appeared on Fox News Sunday to respond to recent comments made by former President Barack Obama on a CNN podcast.
According to The Daily Wire, “Taking aim at Scott, the Senate’s lone black Republican member, and Nikki Haley, a GOP presidential candidate of Indian heritage, Obama argued there is a ‘history’ of Republican candidates who ‘validate’ the United States without a proper reckoning of the past.”
Fox News host Shannon Beam asked Scott if his own experiences underscore Obama’s point that racism is a prevalent issue, even for minorities who succeed today in the United States, DW reports.
“Absolutely not,” Scott said. “Whenever the Democrats feel threatened, they drag out the former president and have him make some negative comments about someone running, hoping that their numbers go down,” he added.
“The radical Left and President Obama: They have failed, they have failed, and they have failed,” Scott said.
