'Embarrassing' Tim Scott Gets Stark Reminder After Latest Toadying To Trump
HuffPost
The South Carolina Republican's teleprompter boast backfired.
Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) on Sunday drew scorn and mockery on social media following his latest pandering to former President Donald Trump.
Scott, who is rumored to be a potential running mate for the presumptive GOP nominee, repeated on Fox News the baseless claim that President Joe Biden was “jacked up” during his State of the Union address.
The senator then heaped praise on Trump, telling host Maria Bartiromo he ”doesn’t need a teleprompter, he doesn’t need notes, he is just strong as can be because he’s fighting for the American people and they know it.”
“They can smell it and we can see it,” he added.
Critics on X (formerly Twitter) reminded Scott of the many times Trump has used a teleprompter.
