Tim Scott Shares His Vision to 'Restore Order and Create Opportunities' for AmericansBY CHRIS QUEEN

Many of the GOP presidential candidates are appearing at Erick Erickson’s Gathering in Atlanta. The first White House hopeful to take the state was Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.), and he shared his upbeat vision for the country with Erickson and the audience in attendance.
Scott brought his mom with him, and as she sat in the audience, he extolled the influence that she had on his upbringing. He also talked about how his success as a black man proves that America is the land of opportunity.
“I am living proof that the American Dream is alive, and it is well and that no matter where you start in this country if you work hard, all things are possible,” he said, quoting Ephesians 3:20, which states that God is “able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think.”
Scott described himself as a threat to the radical left because he runs counter to the narrative that the color of your skin sets you up to be an oppressor or the oppressed. He said that leftists like Barack Obama seek to “drag us back into the past that no longer exists so that we eliminate the future.” Instead, Scott declared that we Americans should “define and decide the future for ourselves.”
Erickson asked Scott about the state of the U.S. military, and the senator answered that the federal government must “eliminate all experimentation, whether it’s vaccines or ESD, or DEI or gender issues.” Rather, “We need to have one focus for our military and that focus must be lethality.” Scott wants to increase military spending so that our fighting forces can be “loyal to our allies and lethal to our adversaries.”
