Sen. Tim Scott, a South Carolina senator and Republican presidential hopeful, rejected attacks from Sunny Hostin and 'The View' over his relationship status.
South Carolina Republican senator and 2024 hopefulfired back at Sunny Hostin and the hosts of ABC's"The View" on Thursday, after what he considered a racially-charged attack on his relationship status.
On"Hannity," host Sean Hannity pointed out the racial element of Hostin's remarks, noting Justice Thomas – a Black man from Savannah – married a White woman from the Great Plains."The Democratic Party and the progressive left, they are stuck in Jim Crow, 1920s and 30s," said Scott, who himself hails from North Charleston, S.C.first Black senator elected in the South since Reconstruction – and the third overall.
Scott went on to note some hosts on"The View" have their own history of racially-charged incidents, citing Joy Behar's Halloween costume from decades ago, when she wore Blackface. Behar responded to the resurfacing of the image several years ago, saying she had dressed as a"beautiful African woman."
