Senator Scott Shares Personal Experiences with Law Enforcement Officers
#3
This isn't directly tied to Senator Scott.  The following quote is from a CNN article, Attack in Nice: New terror in France months after mass shooting, but one of the points touches closely on a major theme of Senator Scott's speech.

The French have a large number of people of North African heritage, the result of having colonies in North Africa for quite some time.  They are not being treated well.  They are not being assimilated into French culture.  They are the targets of racial profiling by the police and others.

CNN Wrote:Why France?

CNN terrorism analyst Paul Cruickshank said no nation in the West faces as many terror threats as France.

"They are absolutely exhausted after a year and a half of intense efforts to try and protect this country," he said. "The police and army have been at maximum deployment and Nice is one of the cities that was hosting some of the big games of the Euro 2016, so it was already on high alert."

While the identity of the Nice attacker is unknown, experts say previous major terror attacks have been carried out by terrorists from disenfranchised communities.
"You have a very large disaffected North African community. They are French citizens now ... but they've been excluded from French society," Robert Baer, a former CIA operative, told CNN's Don Lemon Thursday night.

"I went to school in France ... I worked there and they are really totally excluded," Baer added.

"And it keeps getting worse since the attacks in Paris because (police) are using profiling and they are stopping people who look like Arabs on trains and buses, checking their IDs, which we don't even do in this country. The French have been very aggressive ... radicalization of people of North African origin is actually picking up rather than lessening."

So.  You want a revolution?  You want violence to transform your society?  One way to go about it is...
That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.
