Tim Scott (R-S.C.) offered a rebuttal to rhetoric coming out of the White House. He released several videos on and around Martin Luther King Jr. Day to promote what he says is a positive response to partisan rhetoric on race that he\u2019s best-positioned to rebut.<\/p>\n<p>On Monday, Scott posted the first installment of what he\u2019s calling his listening tour series. He visited with leaders in his hometown of Charleston, South Carolina to discuss some of the issues plaguing minority communities in America to search for solutions.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201c\u201dI feel like we are not hitting the mark,\u201d said the senator. \u201cSo whether you\u2019re black or white, you live in a marginalized community.

He called it misleading.
