I actually like Tim Scott. He’s a moderate Republican senator from the very red state of South Carolina. I believe Tim Scott is the only male African American GOP member of the United State Senate currently.
This video deposition was recorded in July of 2016 when no one thought reality television personality Donald Trump would ever become POTUS 45.
On most lists from people who follow national politics…. Tim Scott is probably third or fourth on the GOP list of possible GOP POTUS candidates in 2024.
I would think he might even be a strong dark-horse, no pun intended, to replace Mike Pence on the Trump ticket if POTUS 45 isn’t in federal prison.
Washington Commanders, right? Sigh.
Mike is a lot of things…politically correct isn’t one of them I’m proud to say.
Since POTUS 45 was elected however, you won’t hear Tim Scott say the things he said on this video deposition a mere fourth months before the Election of 2016.
Tim Scott is in a group of bipartisan senators along with Oklahoma’s own James Lankford who have a senatorial breakfast club of sorts in D.C.
Anyway, here’s Tim Scott before Donald Trump became the face of his party describing what it’s like to be a black man serving in the United States Senate circa 2016.
So… like with every Republican male senator left standing…it will be up to you to decide if Tim Scott was suffering from delusion on this video or is simply avoiding the truth now to stay on the pleasant side of the Trumplicans.
The truth can be such a difficult concept at times. It’s not easy.
I like Tim Scott, but he ain’t no Liz Cheney…that’s for certain.
