Video at link. An F from the NAACP should be worn as a badge of honor. And, in his younger days, Sen Scott was mentored by a ----gasp--- Chick-Fil-A Mgr. How politically INcorrect can one person be?

Tim Scott called an Uncle Tom for attending the Netanyahu speech.

You have to love it when a liberal gets impaled with an undeniable fact.

Fantastic video clip, Sen. Tim Scott nailed it.

I like he kept perfect composure while being attacked.

Democrats founded the KKK in order to put down uppity negroes. In their heart of hearts they greatly miss that organization.

"...Let's just ask ourselves, if we look back over history, when the Congress was controlled by the Democrats for 40 consecutive years, if we look at the result of that control, what has happened in black America? We saw greater poverty.

If we take statistics from the 1970s to the 21st-century, what we see very clearly is that poverty's gone from 11% to 15%. These are classic examples of the policies of the left have not worked.

I will tell you, that if I have an "F" on the NAACP scorecard, it's because I believe progress has to be made and the government is not the answer for progress.

I was a kid growing up in poverty. I had a mentor who was a Chick-fil-A operator named John Moniz who taught me that the brilliance of the American economy happens through business ownership and entrepreneurial spirit.

So whether you own the business or not, success is possible if you A) have a good education, B) have a strong work ethic. For the average person who can work, these two key components come together and form a foundation. That is the way that you eradicate poverty.

All the social programs that we've had ... We have the largest government we've ever had in the history of the country. We have more nonprofit organizations working on the same issue. And yet we have higher percentage of people living in poverty.

The key, it seems like, is individual freedom and economic opportunity, fusing those together in an agenda that focuses on education seems to lead forward.

This is clearly the case in D.C., where the D.C. Opportunity Scholarship has produced higher percentage of kids going to college, produced 91% of the kids graduating from high school versus 56% for those who are simply in everyday schools in D.C., I want that to be the case for every child."

Scott rightly notes that the problem isnt that we haven’t done enough. It’s that government is not capable of “solving” the problem. Only individual liberty can do that.

Chick-Fil-A strikes again!

Every time I eat in a Chick-Fil-A I speak to the manager about the great job they are doing training the next generation of American workers. Chick-Fil-A has a great record of training workers to be the best. Tim Scott is an example!

The interview question itself was quite typical, I can't transcribe it, and of course it was an attack -- but the conclusion/question did not match the build up.

It was along the lines of: The NAACP doesn't like you, you voted against black farmers, you voted against the black caucus, black this, black that -- so: why don't you care about poor kids??

Hello? Are blacks and poor people synonymous? That's the tyranny of soft expectations right there, Mr. Liberal.

God bless Tim Scott! What a great American!

Beautiful. I love Senator Scott.

Tim Scott is a good man and very sharp cookie, and was thoroughly underestimated by the reporter. South Carolina made a good decision when it elected him.
