Former Democratic Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms of Atlanta attacked Republican Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina Thursday over police reform during an MSNBC appearance. “What really strikes me when you talk about Sen. Tim Scott is that this is an African American man who knows the statistics,” Bottoms, who serves as Director of the Office of Public Engagement for President Joe Biden, told MSNBC host Chris Jansing. “African Americans are more than twice as likely to be killed than white Americans in these deadly encounters with police officers.” (RELATED: ‘Why Was He Chosen?’: Sunny Hostin Says Republicans Only Wanted Tim Scott ‘Out Front’ Because He Is Black) WATCH: Bottoms’ comments came following the Wednesday funeral of Tyre Nichols, who died three days after a Jan. 7 incident involving Memphis police officers.

The eaglet—nicknamed Boots by Paul White, the owner of the property where the eagles are located— was rescued after nest cam footage showed the baby bird struggling to sit up and move around the nest, which impaired his chances for survival.

CNBC’s Courtney Kobe was breaking down the news of the surveillance balloon, noting that “one of the options” officials had discussed “was taking this balloon down, shooting it down out of the sky.” “Ultimately they decided that given its somewhat limited intelligence capabilities and the possibility that a debris field on the ground from the balloon could endanger people and infrastructure in Montana, they decided to recommend to the White House, to President Biden, not to take it out,” Kube continued. “Senior defense officials are telling me they are continuing to watch it literally minute by minute, and they keep open the option of still taking some sort of kinetic action against it.” “Yeah, if they’d been monitoring this minute by minute, why not shoot it down when it just enters airspace?” Diaz-Balart asked.

On Tuesday, he endorsed Trump’s 2024 campaign during an appearance on Fox News’ “Hannity.” “I don’t right now see anybody in the field that can beat Donald Trump one on one if Donald Trump decides to run.
