Senator Tim Scott (R-SC)
The political world – at least on the non-Trump cult side – has been quite fixated on what appeared to be President Trump’s endorsement of the Proud Boys terrorist group at the debate. In view of leading questions by reporters of Trump that he repudiate the Proud Boys, and the evident failure of same, I want reporters to follow this up:
Asked if he found Trump’s comments on white supremacists concerning, Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., said, “I think he misspoke, I think he should correct it. If he doesn’t correct it, I guess he didn’t misspeak.” [NBC News]
The followup should be fucking obvious:
Senator Scott, in view of President Trump’s endorsement of a group whose goal is to start a race war, do you plan to resign from the Republican Party and caucus with the Democrats?
A negative answer would probably signal the imminent end of his political career.
