joining me to respond is south carolina senator tim scott. i had the pleasure of serving with senator scott in the congress, i appreciate you joining me tonight. when you hear that montage and also see the residence there in baltimore, what runs through your mind? what your perspective? >> senator scott: there is no doubt that president trump is not a racist in the facts are very simple. without any question, if you look at his legacy it will be has accomplishments in office frankly helping in many, many ways. african-americans think about the fact that we've all heard how low the african-american unemployment is, the lowest recorded in the history of the country. but more importantly, a racist would never talk about criminal justice reform and how they disproportionately help african-american men. he would never hear a racist talk about opportunity zones and how they came onboard at full throttle because he wanted to help poor or disadvantaged communities and most of them consistently african-american and, you never hear a racist talk about providing more research authority and th mo
