South Carolina Republican Sen. Tim Scott joined “The View” on Monday and it did not take Iong for the gloves to come off.
The show began fairly light-hearted with Scott speaking about his 2024 presidential campaign, but ended up sparring with co-host Sunny Hostin after she pressed him to define “systemic rac ism.”
The conversation began when Alyssa Farah Griffin asked Scott about his optimistic message and his running on his Iife story of having overcome great adversity to live the American dream. Then, Hostin hijacked the conversation and attempted to spar with Scott over his positions.
The interview got so tense at one moment that Goldberg asked the crew for help when she was demanding Scott stop talking so they could cut to commerciaI.
Below is a partial transcript of the exchange:
HOSTIN: I am actually happy that you’re here. We — we — we have some things in common. You grow up — you grew up in a singIe-family household, single-mother household, I grew up with both of my parents but raised in the Bronx projects amidst a lot of poverty and — and — and violence. And you were the first black senator elected in the south since the reconstruction, that would be about — I think, about 114 years. Yet you say that your life disproves left—leftist lies. And — and —
Scott: Yes.
HOSTIN: my question to you is, I’m the exception, right? You’re the exception. Maybe even Ms. Whoopi Goldberg is the exception but — but —
HAINES: She is definitely the exception.
Kitten’s Final Hug with Dying Mother Cat Leads to an Astonishing Outcome
Today began like any other as we set out to feed the local street cats, unaware that we were about to witness a story that would deeply move us and remind us of the powerful bond between a mother and her child.
Amid the familiar feline crowd, our eyes were drawn to a tiny kitten nestled tightly against its mother. The scene was bittersweet—while the kitten clung to her in search of comfort, the mother cat lay still and unresponsive. Tragically, she had been struck by a passing bicycle.
Acting quickly, we approached the pair, our hearts aching for the kitten desperately holding onto its injured mother. Gently, we lifted the motionless cat, the kitten refusing to part from her side. With the kitten still clinging to her, we rushed them both to the nearest veterinary clinic, hoping to save the mother cat’s life.
While waiting anxiously for an update at the clinic, we were approached by a kind woman who shared unexpected news. She revealed that the injured mother had another litter of kittens at her home nearby. The thought of those kittens waiting for their mother gave us renewed determination, and we set out immediately to bring them to safety.
Upon arriving at the woman’s home, we carefully gathered the remaining kittens and brought them to join their sibling at the clinic. As we watched over them, the bond between the tiny family strengthened our resolve to do everything we could to help their mother recover.
Days passed in tense anticipation. Each moment was filled with hope and quiet prayers for the mother cat’s survival. Then, the news we had longed to hear finally arrived—she had beaten the odds. Against all expectations, the mother cat’s strength and will to live had seen her through.
The moment of her reunion with her kittens was nothing short of magical. Tears welled in our eyes as we watched her lovingly nuzzle each of her babies, her affection a testament to the unbreakable bond they shared. It was a scene of pure joy and relief, a reminder of the resilience of life and the profound power of love.
As we said goodbye to the reunited family, our hearts swelled with gratitude. In the face of tragedy, compassion had paved the way for hope and healing. This experience was a poignant reminder that even in the smallest corners of life, the beauty of love and resilience shines brightly.
