“I believe in American exceptionalism,” he said, “just as the Brits believe in British exceptionalism, and the Greeks in Greek exceptionalism.”

America’s first Black president is a very politically correct man. And it’s why his presidency changed nothing regarding racial realities in America.

Tim Scott is not a politically correct man, and it is why his potential presidency can change everything.

He does believe America is exceptional, and he is not afraid to say it. His recent book, “America, A Redemption Story: Choosing Hope, Creating Unity,” recounts what he has learned growing up poor, becoming a successful businessman and making his way to the U.S. Senate — and now, maybe, the presidency.

His personal success story is not about government programs, but about “perseverance and grit,” only possible with faith and freedom.

Scott is pro-freedom, pro-private property, propersonal responsibility and initiative and pro-life.

We must understand that the collapse of these core issues and principles, so vital to a genuinely free society, is threatening our nation both domestically and internationally.

As David McCormick and James Cunningham show in their new book, “Superpower in Peril: A Battle Plan to Renew America,” our collapsing culture is endangering national security, as the Army falls short of recruitment goals with more and more young Americans unwilling or unable to serve.

Tim Scott is a Black man in America who knows that this is an exceptional country and that the exceptionalism is rooted in faith and freedom.

Scott understands that our future starts in the hearts and minds of every American citizen of every background and that our future does not start in Washington.

This vital message was lost in the presidency of our first Black president, and great damage was done.

So, Scott’s race matters not for woke reasons but for anti-woke reasons.

This is a candidacy that can make all the difference where Barack Obama failed.
