Sen. Tim Scott talks about his plans to meet with President Trump on Wednesday. Scott, the first African-American elected to the Senate from the South since Reconstruction, met in part to discuss the President’s response to violence in Charlottesville, Virginia. Following the meeting, Trump continued to tout his controversial position that people on both sides were at fault for the deadly clashes.
