Washington Tim Scott, the lone black Republican senator and lead sponsor of his party's police reform effort, delivered an emotional rebuke to a top Senate Democrat on Wednesday who earlier in the day had argued against a"token" approach to the issue. Scott said such a comment"hurts my soul" as the country struggles to address racial injustice.
"To think that on this day, as we try to make sure that fewer people lose confidence in this nation -- to have the senator from Illinois refer to this process, this bill, this opportunity to restore hope and confidence and trust from the American people, from African Americans, from communities of color, to call this a token process hurts my soul for my country, for our people," the South Carolina Republican said.
