of
Senator
Tim
Scott’s
Remarks
at
the
United
States
Capitol:
Thank
you,
Senator
[Mitch]
McConnell.
To
my
colleagues
in
the
Senate
who
took
the
time
to
give
me
a
call
during
the
challenging
times
that
we've
experienced
in
South
Carolina,
I
say
thank
you.
To
our
friends
in
the
House
who
--
both
Republicans
and
Democrats
reached
out
to
me
and
reached
out
to
South
Carolina,
I
say
thank
you.
And
to
this
country
who's
had
such
an
outpouring
of
affection
and
love
to
South
Carolina
and
specifically
to
Charleston,
I
say
thank
you.
Perhaps
if
there
is
a
moment
for
us
to
take
a
step
back
from
the
political
process
and
recognize
and
appreciate
really
true
righteousness,
you
look
at
the
families
of
the
nine
victims
and
you
look
at
what
they
did
at
the
bond
hearing,
it
was
probably
the
best
of
who
we
are
as
Americans.
What
they
simply
said
in
profound
words
was
I
forgive
you.
One
of
the
things
that
perhaps
we
can
learn
through
the
political
process
about
bringing
people
together
is
to
remember
South
Carolina,
remember
the
families
of
the
nine
victims,
how
they
brought
a
community
together
during
the
worst
atrocity
in
our
state's
history,
and
I
am
thankful
that
I
live
in
a
country
where
forgiveness
can
be
seen
in
the
worst
of
conditions
and
where
we
can
appreciate
and
sense
and
feel
the
love,
the
affection
and
the
appreciation
from
around
the
world,
but
specifically,
around
the
country.
And
on
behalf
of
South
Carolina,
we
are
thankful
to
be
a
part
of
an
amazing
nation.
God
bless.
