Tim Scott on Being Black in GOP: 'Judge Me on My Agenda'

News Max - One of the most difficult things about being a black politician in the Republican Party is dealing with people "trying to figure out what is wrong with you," South Carolina GOP Sen. Tim Scott told a group of Howard University business students, noting that he hopes people will judge him on his record instead of the color of his skin. Scott spoke Tuesday for about 45 minutes with students at the historically black Washington, D.C., university, The Washington Post reports, telling them that he felt it was his responsibility as a Republican to speak to them about why he's different.
