This has resulted in the removal of statues and monuments, as well as the renaming of buildings and streets. Notably, even figures like Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Philip Schuyler, and Thomas Jefferson have not been spared.<\/p>\n<p>In the video, Scott stands proudly in front of military planes, expressing gratitude to the &#8220;patriots who fought on the battlefield for freedom.&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;Only in America could the son of a single mother rise from poverty to become a candidate for president. America is the land of opportunity, not a land of oppression. I know it because I\u2019ve lived it,&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>As part of his celebration of the holiday, Scott will march in the 4th of July parade in Merrimack, New Hampshire. This is followed by his upcoming speech at the Family Leadership Summit in Iowa, where other Republican candidates like Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL), Vivek Ramaswamy, former United Nations ambassador Nikki Haley, former Vice President Mike Pence, and former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson will also be in attendance.<\/p>\n<p>Former President Donald Trump has been invited to the event but has yet to confirm his attendance.<\/p>\n<p>According to Morning Consult, Scott is currently polling at 3% among potential Republican primary voters. He is tied for fifth place with fellow South Carolinian Nikki Haley, trailing behind Ramaswamy (6%), Pence (7%), DeSantis (19%), and Trump (57%).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\">Click here<\/a> to read more from The Washington Examiner.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sen.
