Tim Scott: Trump 'misspoke' with white supremacy remark, should correct Proud Boys comment

Sen. Tim Scott (S.C.), the only Black GOP senator, said Wednesday that President Trump should "correct" his comments from the first presidential debate, where he refused to condemn white supremacists.
"I think he misspoke in response to Chris Wallace's comment. ... I think he misspoke, I think he should correct it. If he doesn't correct it, I guess he didn't misspeak," Scott said, when asked by ABC News if he found Trump's remarks concerning.
Asked directly to denounce white supremacists and militia groups who have aligned themselves with him, Trump instead argued that "almost everything I see is from the left wing, not from the right wing."
