Ex-Trump Attorney Rips Tim Scott's 'Ridiculous' Biden Claim: 'We Know That's Not The Case'

Joe Tacopina said he "used to respect" Scott before the South Carolina senator claimed the president made an "un-American" move.
Former Trump attorney Joe Tacopina knocked Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) for his “uneducated, unintelligent” claim that President Joe Biden is “weaponizing the justice system” on Saturday.
Scott took to social media to push claims that Biden used the justice system to go after Donald Trump following the former president’s guilty verdict in his hush money trial this week.
“I can’t believe the hoax, the sham, this absolute injustice, justice system,” said the South Carolina senator, who is reportedly being considered to be Trump’s vice presidential pick.
“Joe Biden’s injustice. Joe Biden’s two tier injustice system. Weaponizing the justice system of the United States of America against a political opponent? Un-American. Joe Biden, you’re fired.”
Scott’s remarks add to other Republicans who have seemingly abandoned “law and order” talk to back the presumptive GOP presidential nominee in the wake of the guilty verdict.
