Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC), a 2024 presidential candidate, rejected former President Barack Obama‘s critique of his view on race relations.
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.
“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,” Scott said.
“The radical Left and President Obama: They have failed, they have failed, and they have failed,” Scott added.
