By Ashley Parker September 10 at 12:32 PM
Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.), who said President Trumps moral authority was compromised by his response to the white-supremacist-fueled violence in Charlottesville last month, is set to meet with the president Wednesday to discuss issues of race and race relations, said two people familiar with the meeting.
Scott, who has been sharply critical of Trump and his rhetoric on issues of race, had expressed interest in meeting with the president before the violence, the people said, but that get-together took on newfound urgency after Charlottesville.
For Trump, the meeting with serve largely as a listening session, one of the people added. Both spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the sensitive meeting.
Trump plunged his young administration further into crisis with his response to the white-supremacist rally in Charlottesville, which left one counterprotester dead and several injured. At the time, Trump refused to immediately condemn the violence and said that both sides were to blame.

What reporter is gullible enough to print that?
