Speaker 1: Senate Democrats they're in panic mode after a report by

Speaker 1: minorities are underrepresented in Democratic staff positions on Capitol Hill,

4
00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:14,560
Speaker 1: and Political points out that African Americans and Latinos they

5
00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:18,200
Speaker 1: represent more than a third of self identified Democrats nationwide,

6
00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:21,360
Speaker 1: but they hold less than three percent of senior staff

7
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:26,120
Speaker 1: positions for Senate Democrats. Despite liberals constantly claiming Republicans are

8
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:29,000
Speaker 1: racist and bigoted, it turns out that the Senator with

9
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:32,360

Speaker 1: the entire U. S Senate works for South Carolina Republican

13
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:44,080
Speaker 1: Tim Scott. His office may be the most diverse in

14
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 1: the entire Senate. Sounds like the Democrats have a lot

15
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:47,800
Speaker 1: of soul searching to do.
