## Transcript

This was a very productive meeting that the president and the senator both wanted to have something to discuss of potential solutions moving forward to bring the country together, a focus on unity. Also talking and touching on some of the priorities for the legislative Agenda moving onto the fall. Did Senator Scott express his displeasure at all with the president initial reaction to Charlottesville? Not at all. They talked about it, pretty in depth, but the focus was primarily on solutions moving forward. And that was what both people came to the meeting wanting to discuss. Is what we can do to bring people together, and not talk about divisions within the country.
