Tim Scott: The Left Is Focused on Identity Politics Because They Are Trying To Scare People Into Not Supporting Trump on the Wall

EXCERPT:

SCOTT: "Well, they don't. Frankly, here we are sitting in the midst of a shutdown and one of the tactics of the left is to make the wall immoral or talk about racism that is somehow conflated with protecting our country. Common sense suggests that if you’ve 1950 miles of border, you have about 700 miles that don’t need a fence because you have a natural border there, what you do? You find a way to strengthen border security which includes barriers, more bodies, more patrol officers at the same time you use technology. But instead of having that conversation, the left, because of their focus on identity politics is trying to scare people into not supporting our President as it relates to providing the resources necessary to protect our nation, to be a nation we have to have strong security at our borders. That is common sense."
