Senate's Only Black Republican Lectures Trump on Race

The sole black Republican in the Senate, Tim Scott, tried to explain racism in the U.S. to President Donald Trump Wednesday following the events of Charlottesville, Va. that left a woman dead in the wake of a white nationalist rally last month.

Scott, who represents South Carolina, called Trump's response to the violence "sterile" and sought to lecture the President on America's centuries-long history of racism, according to the New York Times.
