I don't know, I hope it's not true.
IMO, Scott is the perfect choice. A true conservative who will drive the Senate Dems nuts.
For those who don’t know....
In 1997, Tim Scott supported having the Ten Commandments posted outside the county council chambers, saying it would remind members of the absolute rules they should follow.
The county council then unanimously approved the display and Scott personally nailed a King James version of the Commandments to the wall.
Shortly after, the ACLU and Americans United for Separation of Church and State sued. After an initial court ruling said the display was unconstitutional, the council settled to avoid accruing more legal fees.
Regarding the costs of the suit, Scott said, “Whatever it costs in the pursuit of this goal (of displaying the Commandments) is worth it”
He is black.
Sad to say it, but politically that is the most important fact. Its not that he will drive anyone in the Senate nuts, but he also seems to have the skill to be one of the voices and more importantly, faces of the party. This is very important to all future political contests across the country.
