Tim Scott in 2020 Conventions


On Civil Rights: Our family went from cotton to Congress in one lifetime

My grandfather's 99th birthday would have been tomorrow. Growing up, he had to cross the street if a white person was coming. He suffered the indignity of being forced out of school as a third grader to pick cotton, and never learned to read or write. Yet, he lived to see his grandson become the first African American to be elected to both the United States House and Senate. Our family went from Cotton to Congress in one lifetime.

On Education: For choice: public, private, charter, virtual or home school

I realized a quality education is the closest thing we have to magic in America. That's why I fight to this day for school choice...to make sure every child, in every neighborhood has a quality education. I don't care if it's a public, private, charter, virtual or home school. When a parent has a choice, their kid has a better chance. And the President has fought alongside me on that.

On Principles & Values: Biden and Harris would turn US into "socialist utopia"

Make no mistake: Joe Biden and Kamala Harris want a cultural revolution. A fundamentally different America. If we let them...they will turn our country into a socialist utopia...and history has taught us that path only leads to pain and misery, especially for hard-working people hoping to rise. Instead, we must focus on the promise of the American journey.

On Tax Reform: Critical to have a tax code should encourage growth

I started my own successful small business. That's why I know it is critical for us to have a tax code that encourages growth. We actually saw revenues to the Treasury increase after we lowered taxes in 2017. Rest assured, Democrats do not want you to know that!
