Well, at least this Republican presidential hopeful is not afraid to take a sensible position, even when it goes against his other Republican colleagues.
When reporters asked South Carolina Representative, Tim Scott to speak about Florida’s new ‘education’ curriculum where Ron DeSantis wants to teach kids that slavery had benefits, Scott, although his response was rather mild in my opinion, stepped up and had this to say;
“There is no silver lining in slavery,” Scott said. “The truth is, anything you can learn that — any benefits that people suggest you had during slavery, you would’ve had as a free person. What slavery was, was really about separating families, about mutilating humans and even raping their wives. It was just devastating.”
“I would hope that every person in our country, and certainly running for president, would appreciate that,” he added.
“People have bad days. Sometimes they regret what they say, and we should ask them again to clarify their position,” Scott said.
