Time for healing in America, and for Sessions as Attorney General, Sen. Scott tells Senate
- Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., praised Sessions and called for healing over race in the United States. He noted how his grandfather was raised to understand that he was to step off the sidewalk when a white person neared, and never to look a white person in the eyes. Despite that, Scott said, he was now a member of one of the world’s most prestigious political bodies, and he was well-aware of the sacrifices many other African-Americans had made to make it possible for him to stand and give the speech he gave.
