The Republican presidential hopeful has pushed back on Joy Behar’s claim that he doesn’t “get” systemic racism.
Republican presidential hopeful Tim Scott is gearing up for an appearance on “The View” next week, promising to settle the week-long feud between himself and the daytime TV staple.
Scott’s feud with the show began shortly after he announced his campaign, when host Joy Behar claimed Scott, the most high-profile Black Republican seeking the party’s nomination, doesn’t understand racism. Now, the South Carolina senator will have the chance to push back on that argument in person during his scheduled appearance on Monday, June 5.
“I think it's time for a conservative with a backbone to look those ladies in the eyes and say you do not have to be an exception to succeed in America,” Scott told the crowd, according toIn the comments that started the feud, Behar compared Scott to Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, describing both as Black men who “don’t get” systemic discrimination.
“He’s one of these guys, like Clarence Thomas, black Republicans, who believes in pulling yourself up by your bootstraps, rather than understanding the systemic racism that African Americans face in this country,” Behar said. “He doesn’t get it. Neither does Clarence. That’s why they’re Republicans.”“It is literally the dumbest most offensive thing I’ve witnessed on TV, to hear these millionaire TV personalities telling me how to live my life as a Black man,” he said.
Scott’s stop in “The View” studio isn’t in response to the war of words between him and Behar, though. Talks about his appearance on the show predate the exchange, beginning when Scott first announced his campaign on May 22, according to The Wrap.
