Tim Scott actually said...

One of the reasons why I'm on the show is because of the comments that were made, frankly, on this show that the only way for a young African-American kid to be successful in this country is to be the exception and not the rule. That is a dangerous, offensive, disgusting message to send to our young people today that the only way to succeed is by being the exception.

Context

Scott criticizes the narrative that suggests success for young African-Americans is only achievable through exceptionalism.
