Rev. Al Sharpton, who spoke at the Monday funeral of Andrew Brown Jr., a black man killed by police executing a search warrant, insisted America was built on racism in a rebuff of South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott s remarks from last week.
Scott, a Republican, on Wednesday said, America is not a racist country in response to President Joe Biden s first address to Congress. The comment drew ire from liberal figures on social media, many of whom spread the hashtag Uncle Tim following the GOP speech. Both Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris later agreed with Scott s words.
