Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) struck back at claims former President Barack Obama made last week, where he said that minority GOP candidates uncritically validate the United States while ignoring race.
Scott, a Republican presidential candidate, pushed back on Obama's comments by arguing that the"truth of my life disproves lies of the radical left," while speaking on Fox's Fox News Sunday."There is no higher compliment than to be attacked by President Obama. Whenever the Democrats feel attacked, they drag out the former president and have him make some negative comments about someone running, hoping that their numbers go down.
“If somebody’s not proposing — both acknowledging and proposing — elements that say, ‘No, we can’t just ignore all that and pretend as if everything’s equal and fair. We actually have to walk the walk and not just talk the talk.’ If they’re not doing that, then I think people are rightly skeptical.” Obama also said on the podcast.
"Radical left and teacher’s unions refuse to allow quality education in big blue cities. I support school choice because I support common sense. [The] radical left and President Obama — they have failed, they have failed, and they have failed. We will make it happen. Under my administration, we will make sure kids have quality education at every zip code," he continued.
