Tim Scott: Randi Weingarten Backtracks “Segregationist” Comments, But Should Apologize To Parents
CHARLESTON, SC — Tim Scott released the following video statement today responding to Randi Weingarten backtracking on her comments comparing parents to segregationists. After Tim called out Weingarten on Thursday for “crying racism every single time they’re losing an argument,” she backtracked on her comments.
“Randi Weingarten should not just apologize for her segregationist comments. She should apologize for thinking that parents who believe in school choice are segregationists. I can’t believe every single time liberals, particularly white liberals, are losing an argument, they weaponize race and class against the rest of the country. And particularly poor kids who oftentimes are African-American kids stuck in big blue cities where the crime is high, the employment is low, and the hope has been deferred. Randi Weingarten, we need and deserve better than you.”
