Sen. Tim Scott says he will meet with George Floyd's family

• Scott has opposed Democrats' George Floyd Policing Act and instead backs an alternative measure blocked by Senate Democrats last year.

What he's saying: Scott has argued that antagonizing law enforcement is not the solution. "I won't cross that line," he said.

• Scott said he will "listen to what the family wants to talk about, listen to the proposals, the suggestions that reinforces common sense and finally go back to the drawing board taking all that information to heart."

Worth noting: In his rebuttal to President Biden's address to Congress on Wednesday, Scott said "America is not a racist country" and argued that "race is not a political weapon to settle every issue the way one side wants."
