Sen. Tim Scott played racist and derogatory voicemails he and his staff are receiving to Senate GOP colleagues during a closed-door lunch Tuesday, according to several GOP sources.
The South Carolina Republican’s decision to play the voicemails comes one day before the Senate is set to take a key procedural vote on his legislation. Scott, the only African-American Republican senator, has opened up in recent years about his experience with racism, including instances of being racially profiled by police. He’s also had to push back vehemently on suggestions of being a “token” for the GOP and has been called racial slurs on Twitter.
“All of us do not have to tackle the issues like I did when I was 16 and 17 and 18 and 25 and 26 and 30,” Scott said. “We have the ability to say to the young man and to that young lady, we don’t just see you, we didn’t just hear you. We acted on it.”
