WATCH: NBC Host Badgers Tim Scott About RNC: ‘Do You Wish That Rhetoric Would Be Ratcheted Down?’

On Tuesday, after the Republican National Convention aired Monday night, NBC’s “Today” show co-host Savannah Guthrie asked South Carolina GOP Senator Tim Scott, who had concluded the program at the RNC on Monday, if he wished “that rhetoric would be ratcheted down a little bit?”

Scott responded calmly, “Well, this is a political process and drawing contrast is very important.”
