I continue to think that Biden talking about unity repeatedly in his inaugural address was politically stupid and provided four years of Republican talking points. They could deny him unity, and it was entirely predictable that they would. Scott attacked him on that unity issue several times.

Scott cites the fact he’s been pulled over for no reason, and then claims America is not a racist country.

Someone already mentioned it, but this really reminds me of the RNC, in which the party not only sought to have a diverse array of speakers but also to position itself as the more racially liberal party in some ways. Scott just said that Republicans support making it easier to vote, and the speech has focused on race in a way that is quite different from the “color blind” rhetoric of the 1980s and 1990s.
