WASHINGTON - South Carolina’s U.S. Senator Tim Scott, the chamber’s only black Republican, was thrust into the center of the national debate on policing when Majority Leader Mitch McConnell put him in charge of the caucus’s response to protests over racial inequality and the use of force by law enforcement.
“I think the best way for Senate Republicans to go forward on this is to listen to one of our own, who’s had these experiences,” McConnell told reporters. Scott has talked about being stopped and questioned by police even during his seven years in the U.S. Senate.“I think it’s important for this nation to take a very powerful stand and position that says, ‘We’re listening, we’re hearing and we’re reacting,’” Scott told reporters, saying he did not see “a binary choice” between supporting police and supporting communities of color.
Scott and Booker also were among senators who worked on a law signed by Trump that overhauled the criminal justice system.
