Washington
-
U.S.
Senator
Tim
Scott
(R-SC)
offered
the
following
reaction
to
President
Donald
Trump's
Joint
Address
to
Congress
tonight.
"I
was
excited
to
hear
the
President
discuss
school
choice
and
ensuring
every
American
child
has
access
to
a
quality
education.
This
is
truly
the
key
to
our
nation's
future,
and
I
will
continue
working
with
my
colleagues
and
the
White
House
to
make
these
improvements
a
reality."
"I
was
pleased
to
hear
President
Trump
address
many
issues
critical
to
everyday
Americans,
such
as
job
creation,
tax
reform,
national
security,
supporting
our
military
and
veterans,
and
improving
addiction
treatment
services.
We
heard
many
ideas
from
the
President
tonight
where
I
believe
we
can
find
common
ground
and
produce
real
solutions
for
the
American
people,
and
I
look
forward
to
continuing
my
work
with
colleagues
in
Congress
to
do
so."
"The
President
made
a
strong
call
for
the
principles
that
will
guide
the
replacement
of
Obamacare.
I
look
forward
to
passing
legislation
that
repeals
Obamacare
and
builds
a
sustainable
system
for
all
American
families."
"The
President
is
correct
that
we
must
tackle
the
violence
that
is
harming
many
of
our
communities.
I
believe
this
means
bringing
our
law
enforcement
and
communities
together
to
better
understand
and
find
solutions
for
the
issues
they
both
face.
I
will
continue
my
work
with
Trey
Gowdy
and
others
in
this
vital
area."
"We
saw
the
true
power
of
the
American
spirit
tonight
with
the
recognition
of
Carryn
Owens,
the
widow
of
US
Navy
SEAL
Chief
William
Ryan
Owens.
It
was
one
of
the
most
powerful
moments
I
have
ever
witnessed,
and
our
never-ending
gratitude
remains
with
Ryan
and
all
of
those
who
have
sacrificed
for
our
nation.
God
Bless
them,
and
God
Bless
the
United
States
of
America."
