Sen. Tim Scott: Congressman John Lewis Rose Above violence, He Knew Love Always Conquered Hate

RUSH EXCERPT:

SCOTT: “Well without any question, good morning, and what a sad day for the nation, but what a blessed life John Lewis lived he loved everyone and one of my earliest memories of meeting the icon in person was when I got elected to congress he took he to his office and sat down with me and we took a journey through the pictures of all of the challenges of the past and it reminded me then for the first time to never let the challenges of life make you bitter. Never ever become bitter, and as a person who saw the violence and the uglyiness of the 60s, he rose above ited and he rose above it in a non-violent way because he knew that love always snuffs out hate and he held on to that conviction in the face of hate coming through fire hydrants fire hoses and dogs, german shepherds back in the 60s snapping at him, but yet , he held fast to the conviction that we are better together, and love will always conquer hate.”
