Ooohhh....he has some backbone. "The View" no less -- media coverage and name recognition.
Tim Scott earns praise after leaving liberal 'View' host 'speechless' with 'undeniable facts'"Outnumbered" panelists praised Republican presidential candidate Tim Scott for his "phenomenal" response to questioning about systemic racism on "The View."
"The View" co-host Sunny Hostin pressed Scott to define systemic racism, noting that he was the first African-American to be elected to the Senate in the South since Reconstruction. She called Scott and herself the "exception" but not the rule in America.
Scott then reminded Hostin that the U.S. has had an African-American president, vice president and two secretaries of state.
"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," Scott said.
"Outnumbered" co-host Emily Compagno described his answer as "thoughtful, reasoned and prepared."
Kayleigh McEnany touted Scott’s performance and said he came across good-natured and charming while remaining strong in his position.
"He did so well because he showed up with facts. He's so positive, so optimistic," McEnany said.
"Sunny Hostin looked at him speechless. Nothing to say because those are facts. Those are undeniable, what he said."
Panelists then turned their aim to Joy Behar, who was not present on the Monday morning edition with Scott. Though Behar is always off work on Mondays, her absence sparked criticism after her recent claim that Scott "doesn’t get" the systemic racism that minorities in America endure.
"This is a big deal," Compagno said. "This is a sitting senator, and he's a presidential candidate. And it's also the subject and the target of much of her ill-founded, absolutely racist, totally nonsensical, fantastical comments about him. So you would think she would make an exception and show up for work.".............
