A source connected to the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington said Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC), the only sitting black senator, was not invited to speak at the event because his office had declined an invitation to attend the commemoration as a spectator, Roll Call reported.
An email exchange obtained by Roll Call showed that an invitation to the 50th anniversary commemoration appeared to be sent to all members of Congress, as the form letter identified the recipient as "Representative" rather than by name.
The exchange showed that a staff assistant to Scott, Rachel Shelbourne, sent a reply to the invitation that read in part, "Unfortunately, the Senator will be in South Carolina during this time, so he will be unable to attend the event. Please do, however, keep him in mind for future events you may be hosting," as quoted by Roll Call.

Why would they especially ask a senator, just one senator, who has already declined the invite, to speak? Why do that?

from what I gather he Delcine to attend as a spectator....do we have a link that says he was asked to speak, said no, then then offered a spectator role
I certainly would invite them to attend, but if they already declined the invite stating they were going to be elsewhere engaged, that would be that. But let the butthurt flow.Why would they especially ask a senator, just one senator, who has already declined the invite, to speak? Why do that?
Ya if this were a gay lesbian organization honoring a pioneer in Gay Lesbian fight for inclusion, why would they invite a lone gay Senator to speak? WHY?

All members of Congress, both Houses, were invited. He declined stating he'd be in SC at that time. End of subject........unless you're (generic "you") a butthurt Rightie who wants to find something to feel victimized by over this event.

Not the end, he stated that if he had been invited to speak he would have probably been able to rearrange his schedule, since it was just as a spectator he did not.

Indeed...and if I invite someone to an event and they have ALREADY declined, stating they would not even be in town, why would I waste my time extending a further invite to speak? Hmmmm? How many other Congressmen spoke?from what I gather he Delcine to attend as a spectator....do we have a link that says he was asked to speak, said no, then then offered a spectator role

Ah...Hindsight is SO 20/20, isn't it?
He didn't attend or speak at the Republican events either. I guess he wasn't really that much into it, don't you think?

from what I read, he spoke at a church or some such.....if you're accusing him of
being a lair in that he was invited to speak and said no, I don't know what to say to that...thats a dangerous lie to tell in the age of emails etc.
