Tim Scott in Sunday Political Talk Show interviews during 2020-2024

On Principles & Values: Chair of segregationist Strom Thurmond's Senate campaign

He served as a state co-chair of one-time arch segregationist Strom Thurmond's final Senate campaign in 1996. "People change their minds," Scott once explained. "They embrace truth. In the end he received around 30 percent of the Black vote. I'd like to get there. If Strom Thurmond could get 30 percent of the Black vote, any Republican can."

On Principles & Values: America not in decline; America is the city on the hill

Scott offered an outlook more positive than others to assert "America is not a nation in decline," but under President Joe Biden, he says, it has become "a nation in retreat."

"America is the city on the hill," Scott said in closing, walking off the stage to join standing supporters, as he tends to do on the stump. "I'm living proof that God and a good family and the United States of America can do all things if we believe. Will you believe it with me?"
