What the Hell is Going On?: WTH is going on with the chaos in American cities? Sen. Tim Scott on the politicization of violence and racial unrest (What the Hell)

Published: July 27, 2020, 9:30 p.m.

Following the killing of George Floyd and subsequent protests, Sen. Tim Scott introduced the JUSTICE Act, which aimed to address police abuses and systemic issues affecting at risk communities. Despite Republicans\u2019 offer to allow votes on as many amendments as Democrats wanted, Senate Democrats voted to block the bill.\n\n\n\nSen. Scott joined Dany and Marc to discuss the JUSTICE Act and partisan delays in meaningful police reform. The three also talk about Sen. Scott\u2019s conversation on race with President Trump and the challenge of growing violence in America\u2019s cities.\n\n\n\nSen. Scott was first elected to Charleston County Council, to the South Carolina State House, and the US House of Representatives. In January 2013, he was sworn in as a US Senator from South Carolina, and was re-elected in January 2017. \n\n\n\nhttps://www.aei.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/7.23.20-Tim-Scott-transcript.pdf (Download the transcript here.)\n\n\n\nWe hope you enjoyed this episode of AEI\u2019s https://www.aei.org/tag/what-the-hell-podcast/ (What the Hell is Going On?), with hosts Danielle Pletka and Marc Thiessen.
