Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) has selected Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.)—the only black Republican in the Senate—to lead the Republican effort for police reform legislation.
“I’ve asked Sen. Tim Scott to lead a group that is working on a proposal to allow us to respond to the obvious racial discrimination that we’ve seen on full display on our television screens over the last two weeks,” McConnell said on Tuesday.
