South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott on Sunday pushed back at former President Barack Obama’s criticism of Republican African Americans candidates who don’t give an “honest accounting” of racism in the United States.
Scott, the lone Black Republican in the Senate and a GOP presidential hopeful, said Democrats drag out Obama whenever they feel threatened. “There’s no higher compliment than being attacked by President Obama,” Scott said on “Fox News Sunday.”
Scott had been asked about comments Obama made on a recent podcast about the senator’s claim that that he’s living proof of the progress the nation has made on equality. Obama said there’s a long history of GOP candidates who come from minority groups validating America by saying “everything’s great, and we can all make it.”
