Sen. Tim Scott slammed President Joe Biden in a video released on Saturday, arguing that the president’s increasingly aggressive language against his political foes is a symptom of leadership weakness, Fox News informed.
Scott said that Biden spoke about a pretty crucial problem and that is the voting rights of the American citizens, especially those who come from the minorities.
The Senator said that as a person who grew up in the south of the US, this particular problem is very important to him, adding that it is one of the reasons why he was angered up by the remarks Biden made, comparing the ongoing situation with the Jim Crow period.
Biden alerted of a stark divide between supporters and opponents of the Democrats’ “John Lewis Voting Rights Act,” asking a mass of people in Atlanta on Tuesday if they were on the side of hated and despised figures like segregationist Governor George Wallace and the Confederate President Jefferson Davis or are they taking the side of the civil rights leaders like Martin Luther King Jr. and the late John Lewis.
President Biden’s highly panned speech equating political opponents of Democrat-backed voting measures on Capitol Hill to the nation’s most notorious segregationists was sought to be retracted by White House press secretary Jen Psaki.
During Friday’s press conference, Fox News’ Peter Doocy questioned Psaki about Biden’s aggressive comments in Atlanta, in which he attacked people who didn’t support the measure, which conservatives perceive as a total liberal reform of how elections are handled across the country.
