Tim Scott: Obama Missed a Huge Opportunity to Heal Race Relations in America

EXCERPT:

SCOTT: “Mark, he missed a softball moving at slow speed with a big bat. You can’t miss this opportunity. America was hungry for bringing our country together. This coalition-building where we could see black kids and white kids, red ones and brown ones, as MLK spoke about, joining hands and singing with new meaning, ‘My country ‘tis of thee.’ President Obama missed that opportunity. President Biden ran as the great uniter and he has been the great divider. I’ve heard more negative things about people under his leadership than I have in a long time. And I will tell you, the one thing the far left does not want a black person to be in this country is a conservative. Conservatism works because we are willing to conserve the values of our Founding Fathers. They weren’t perfect. I know that as well as anybody. But they were to be celebrated because of the success that built the nation that stands above the rest. If we had that kind of optimistic, positive, yet conservative leadership, we would be winning general elections from sea to shining sea. It is possible for America to come together, but not because of the color of our skin, but because of the consistency of our values system that allows people to rise, whether — like, I’m in the rural parts of Iowa today, or the inner cities of Columbia, South Carolina, all things are possible in the greatest land, the freest, fairest place on earth, Mark. You know it and I love it.”
