(Post and Courier) -- U.S. Sen. Tim Scott waited until the last two minutes of his 20-minute speech at the Charleston County GOP Black History banquet Friday night to condemn the latest racial scandal to rock American politics, this time in Virginia.
“There are some things that have been buried in the soil for so long, it’s going to spring up,” Scott told more than 300 attendees at The Citadel’s Holliday Alumni Center.
“So we’ve got to deal with those issues,” Scott, R-S.C., said. “These are not Republican issues. They’re not Democrat issues. They’re issues of the human heart, and we’ve got to figure that out.”
