Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., has launched a new video series titled 'America's Starting Five' featuring several Black House Republican lawmakers discussing race and politics in America. The series includes Reps. Burgess Owens, R-Utah, Byron Donalds, R-Fla., John James, R-Mich., and Wesley Hunt, R-Texas, joining Scott for weekly episodes dedicated to Black Republican voices.
In the first episode, the lawmakers reacted to a clip of President Biden's controversial statement to a Black radio host, Charlamagne tha God, where Biden remarked, 'If you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t Black.' The group humorously responded to the clip, with Scott jokingly referring to themselves as 'four non-Black Black people' and Hunt emphasizing his long-standing Black identity.
