"I will say this, this administration has taken a lot of people by surprise ... this is probably the most proactive administration regarding urban American and the faith-based community in my lifetime, he said. "To be honest, this is probably going to be the most pro-black president in our lifetime."
Scott, a vocal Trump supporter, met with the president and a group of inner-city pastors at the White House to discuss their priorities on Wednesday.
He urged the black community to continue working with the administration and give him a chance despite the criticism in the media.
