Obama and Tim Scott clash over race relations and misinformation.

Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) responded to criticism from former President Barack Obama over his past comments on race, accusing Democrats of denying progress to protect their power. Obama had criticized Scott and fellow GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley for not acknowledging the impact of racism on generational poverty and discrimination. Haley also fired back at Obama, saying he set minorities back by singling them out as victims instead of empowering them. Both Scott and Haley are currently polling at 3.5% in the GOP presidential primary race.
