NORTH CHARLESTON, South Carolina — Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) told Breitbart News exclusively at his presidential campaign launch on Monday that his personal story eviscerates the leftist “lie” that “if you’re black or you’re brown, your future is grievance not greatness.” Scott also laid out his plans to lift up Americans who are struggling economically with a “Made in America Agenda” that he highlighted during his speech.

So my goal is to share the good news of America. That’s why we’re called Faith in America. We believe this country will afford everybody the opportunity.”

He also laid out how Democrats and leftists have regularly attacked him with racist epithets over the years, but the reason why he believes they come after him on this front is because his personal story undercuts their narrative of victimhood…
