Tim Scott, (R-S.C.), discussed the recent racially charged mass shooting in Buffalo, the Supreme Court\u2019s pending decision on abortion, the ongoing protests at the homes of justices, and what it means to be a black conservative. \u00a0Below is the second of three articles on the interview.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>WASHINGTON \u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/topic\/tim-scott\">Republican South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott<\/a> believes that saying black women need abortions is a \u201cgut punch\u201d to women like\u00a0Scott\u2019s mother, who have spent their lives seeking the American dream for themselves and for their children.<\/p>\n<p>In an exclusive interview with The Daily Wire, Scott discussed his viral remarks to\u00a0President Joe Biden\u2019s Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, who during testimony on the Hill last week, looked Scott in the eye and suggested that black women need abortions in order to succeed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat we are talking about is whether or not women will have the ability to regulate their reproductive situation in ways that will enable them to plan lives that are fulfilling and satisfying for them,\u201d Yellen said May 10, adding that\u00a0one aspect of a satisfying life is to \u201cfeel that you have the financial resources to raise a child, that the children you bring into the world are wanted, and that you have the ability to take care of them.\u201d<\/p>\n[embedded content]\n<p>\u201cIn many cases,\u201d she continued, \u201cabortions are teenage women, particularly low income, and often black, who aren\u2019t in a position to be able to care for children, have unexpected pregnancies, and it deprives them of the ability, often, to continue their education to later participate in the workforce.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>WATCH:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">In use you missed it\u2026<br \/>Tim Scott pushes back on \u2018stunning\u2019 Yellen argument that abortion helps single Black mothers <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/n8TIhpg4Mg\">https:\/\/t.co\/n8TIhpg4Mg<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Mike du Jour (@MikeLester) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MikeLester\/status\/1526980741778886657?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 18, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>In a now viral clip, Scott told Yellen, \u201cI\u2019ll just simply say that, as a guy raised by a black woman in abject poverty, I am thankful to be here as a United States senator.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It was a \u201cheartbreaking moment,\u201d Scott told The Daily Wire this week, calling Yellen\u2019s remarks \u201ccallous.\u201d According to Scott, she was effectively telling single mothers:\u00a0\u201cYour value to the marketplace is higher if you have an abortion.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Yellen did not immediately respond to a request for comment for this story.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI still find it shocking today that someone would actually say that,\u201d the senator said. \u201cAnd not only someone, but a powerful woman speaking to women who are going through really hard times, sometimes in broken places. But the most remarkable thing the sky, the Phoenix Rising, come from the most challenging places in the country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Asked how his mother would have responded to such remarks, Scott smiled.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy mother would probably get a switch and have a conversation about right and wrong,\u201d he said, before becoming more serious.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe truth is that my mother would be shocked,\u201d Scott said. \u201cShe would be saddened. It would bring her to tears. It\u2019s like a gut punch for women who are working their tails off, supporting their families, going the extra mile because they hope and pray that this country still affords the opportunity to achieve the American dream.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To be spoken down to in such a \u201ccondescending tone\u201d would have \u201cbroken her heart,\u201d the senator said. \u201cBut it would have also angered her at the same time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Scott believes the rhetoric from pro-abortion government officials comes from a \u201cdeep, dark place.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI hope that we fight against those words,\u201d Scott said. \u201cWe fight against those folks who believe that somehow the value proposition to those living in poverty is less than the value proposition in other parts of our country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Scott also weighed in on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbs.org\/newshour\/nation\/black-and-hispanic-people-have-the-most-to-lose-if-roe-is-overturned\">claims suggesting<\/a> that black and Hispanic women have the most to lose if <em>Roe v. Wade<\/em> is overturned.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cToo often we see headlines and we see caricatures made of people in poverty who happen to be women of color, that reinforcing that stereotype that people have of us and of African-American women, Hispanic women, is something that we should all rally against,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd when we do that, I think we start learning the responsibility that we have as leaders to stand up for those.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Americans cannot be silent about such media portrayals, the senator insisted.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen we are silent to those headlines, especially those on the left who seem to enjoy this insulation from some of their friends in the media, they need to be standing up and stepping out and talking against these headlines that suggest that the only way forward is in the life of a child,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeople see \u2018at risk,&#8217;\u201d he said. \u201cI see high potential. I know the difference, because I\u2019ve been one and became the other.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In an exclusive and wide-ranging interview with The Daily Wire, Sen.
