Vice presidential contender Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., revealed the turning point in his relationship with former President Trump, explaining how their discussion over his handling of the 2017 Charlottesville "Unite the Right" rally made their relationship "what it is today."
"You did say at one point that he had compromised his moral authority over the handling of the Charlottesville rally," "FOX & Friends" host Ainsley Earhardt asked Scott in an exclusive interview Thursday.
"I will say that it was the Charlottesville incident that made our relationship what it is today," he responded.
"He invited me to the Oval Office to talk about race relations in America. He wanted me to share with them my perspective. He listened, and after we finished talking he said, ‘Help me help those I have offended.’ That's how Opportunity Zones was born… so I'm very thankful that in one of the hardest moments in recent history, President Trump invited me in so we could find solutions together."
