Sen. Tim Scott, a South Carolina Republican said to be on former President Donald Trump’s shortlist for running mates, fired back at the ‘ladies’ of “The View” on Monday after they appeared to mock his career.
In an interview with Fox News’ Sean Hannity, Scott explained why black voters, and especially black men, are fleeing the Democratic Party, adding that without black voters, that party would be essentially dead in the water.
“Women of the View: My goodness gracious. Let me just be plain and simple. Without the black vote, there is no Democratic Party,” Scott told “Hannity” on Monday. “And since I was elected in 2010 to Congress, before that, no black Republicans [in Congress]. But since then, there’s been seven.”
Scott said, “President Trump’s policies have led to a surge” of black Republican political candidates taking office at the “city level, to the county level, to the state level, and in Congress.”
“We’re seeing black city council members. We’re seeing black assembly members all across this nation,” he said. “There is a wave of black elected officials who happen to be Republicans. But the black vote is following.”
“Why? Because we were better off under President Trump. We need four more years, and I will tell you, it’s the end of the Democratic Party as we know it today,” Scott said.
“For African Americans, Hispanics, there’s no place in the Democratic Party if you want to stand against antisemitism, and stand for the American way, and stand for fairness and justice, you must join the GOP. We are the party of Lincoln, the party of Reagan, the party of Trump, we are the party of freedom,” he added.
“The View” co-host Sunny Hostin remarked on Friday that Scott was not effectively advocating for Black conservatives. Scott had irked Hostin last year by disputing her views on systemic racism during the show.
“Just to speak for African-American voters,” Hostin said. “If anyone thinks that Tim Scott is going to bring over a bunch of black men, they need to just get with it, because Tim Scott is the only African-American senator in the Republican Party for a reason.”
