YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Sen. Tim Scott kicked off his 2024 Republican presidential campaign Monday afternoon in his home state of South Carolina, in a speech that focused on his personal story and hit President Biden and the “radical left” for fostering a culture of “grievance” over “greatness.”

In a kickoff event at Charleston Southern University in North Charleston, the only black Senate Republican emphasized his religious faith and ascension to Congress as the son of a single mother raised in poverty and the grandson of a cotton picker in the Jim Crow South.

“My family went from cotton to Congress in his lifetime,” Scott said. “And it was only possible because my grandfather had a stubborn faith: faith in God, faith in himself, and faith in what America would be.”

“This black man who struggled through the Jim Crow South believed then what some doubt now: in the goodness of America,” Scott went on. “America is the land of opportunity, and not a land of oppression.”
