The South Carolina Senator derided Hostin, calling her comments about systemic racism a “dangerous, offensive, disgusting message.”
Instead of answering the question directly, the South Carolina politician, 57, replied, “Let me answer the question this way. One of the things I think about and one of the reasons why I’m on the show is because of the comments that were made, frankly, on this show, that the only way for a young African-American kid to be successful in this country is to be the exception and not the rule.”
“That is a dangerous, offensive, disgusting message to send to our young people today that the only way to succeed is by being the exception,” he added. “I will tell you that if my life is the exception, I can’t imagine I can’t….When Hostin noted that it’s been over a century since there was a Black senator, Scott retorted missing the point.
“But it’s not actually, so the fact of the matter is we’ve had an African-American president, African-American vice president. “We’ve had two African-Americans to be secretaries of state. In my home city, the police chief is an African-American who’s now running for mayor.“The head of the highway patrol for South Carolina is an African-American,” he replied.“I live in Florida and I’m sick of manufactured culture wars and the spread of hatred and division for the purposes of politics and I hope you take Ron DeSantis on because what he is doing is hypocritical, it’s not conservative and it’s sickening,” she said.
