Sen. Tim Scott, R-South Carolina, and former President Barack Obama both criticised the other’s handling of race this week, with Obama suggesting that Republican promises of American unity is hollow.
Thursday’s CNN interview with Obama included a question on Scott’s racial chats with the former president. Democratic strategist David Axelrod conducted the interview. In contrast, Scott said that after winning both the 2008 and 2012 elections, Obama had a chance to unite the nation.
“I believe the Republican Party has a long history of running African-American or other minority candidates who will affirm America and proclaim, “Everything’s fine, and we can make it. In response to Axelrod’s question regarding Scott, Obama said, “I think Nikki Haley has a similar attitude. “I’m not being pessimistic about Tim Scott specifically, but I could be putting forward the ‘Can’t we all get along’ attitude… An honest accounting of our past and present must serve as its foundation.

Obama continued by saying that if politicians want their claims of American unity to be taken seriously, they must confront racial imbalances in the legal system and elsewhere.
In contrast, Scott blasted Obama in an interview with Mark Levin on Thursday, claiming that the president had failed to unite the nation.
Don’t you think Barack Obama had a great chance to unite the nation on the issue of race? to stop this group-ism from developing among people and to get them to embrace one another for who they are?” Levy enquired.

Scott said, “Mark, he missed a slow-moving softball with a large bat. You must not pass up this chance. As Martin Luther King, Jr. spoke about, ‘America was starving for this coalition building where you can see Black kids and White kids and red kids and brown kids joining hands and singing with fresh meaning, ‘My country ’tis of thee.”
Despite running as the great unifier, President Biden has instead become the great divider. Under his direction, I’ve heard more unfavourable things said about people than I have in a while. I’ll tell you what the far left hates most about this country: Black people who identify as conservatives. Because of the consistency of our value system rather than the colour of our skin, it is possible for Americans to unite.
Consider the House conservatives’ proposed budget before building a border wall and cutting trillions from federal expenditure.
In late May, Scott, the lone black Republican in the Senate, declared his candidature for president in 2024, entering a crowded and still-expanding field.
