WASHINGTON – This Mother’s Day, U.S. Senator Tim Scott (R-S.C.), Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), and former Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe joined Trey Gowdy’s Sunday Night in America on Fox News to celebrate their mothers. Click to watch On his mother’s influence in his life … “I love my mom, no question. Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there. My mother really has been my rock for my entire life. She has taught me more about faith — having faith in the Lord above, having faith in yourself, and frankly even having faith in your country. “Perhaps my best lesson from my mother is ‘Go take the trash out, son.’ When I come home from being in Washington, she makes sure that I stay normal, and she’s like ‘Go take the trash out.’ … Someone needs to teach you to stay humble, and my mother is my greatest fan, but she’s also a very good [critic] of who I am. So she is a force for good every single day of my life.” On his mother’s support … “There’s no doubt my mother always wanted me to be a preacher. From the time I was a little kid, she always thought that one day I was going to be a preacher. … So I went an exact 180 degree turn from where she wanted me to be, but now she has embraced this call.” ### |
