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."
