Tim Scott called Trump a Racist and Divisive when Trump Criticized the Dem Riots.

Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) announced Tuesday that he will not vote to convict in President Trump's second impeachment trial as the House moves to impeach over Trump's role in last week's riot at the Capitol.
Scott echoed claims by other GOP lawmakers that impeaching and removing the president on charges of inciting insurrection would further deepen political divisions in the U.S.
"The Democrat-led impeachment talks happening in the House right now fly in direct opposition to what President-elect Joe Biden has been calling for all year," Scott tweeted Tuesday. "An impeachment vote will only lead to more hate and a deeply fractured nation."
House Democrats have said they will pass a single article of impeachment on Wednesday in response to last week's siege on the Capitol by Trump supporters who the Democrats say were egged on by the president.
Some of Scott's GOP Senate colleagues have called for the president to resign, although none have yet said they will vote to convict.
Republican Sens. Pat Toomey (Pa.) and Lisa Murkowski (Alaska) have called for the president's resignation, while The New York Times reported Tuesday that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) has said he believes the president committed impeachable offenses.
On the House side, Rep. John Katko (R-N.Y.) became the first Republican to say he will vote for impeachment on Tuesday. The president was impeached in 2019 with no House Republican support.

And they think they will be elected again
This puke folded last week. He already did his damage.
Has someone woken up to the fact that political survival is a problem here.
‘
They want the House to bring it - and they won’t have time to convict.
They want Trump to be run off (as in flee).
‘
You see what the did there? McConnell never said he believes the president committed impeachable offences, The NY Slimes said that they reported that is what someone who is familiar with McConnel's thinking said.
Total Fraud story
He’s making a play for the nomination in 2024.
too late, he already fist-bumped soul sista Kamalla.
Nope. All incumbents out!
Oh really? Why? Why not just go full blown RAT??????
Senator Mitch McConnell, the Republican leader, has told associates that he believes President Trump committed impeachable offenses and that he is pleased that Democrats are moving to impeach him, believing that it will make it easier to purge him from the party, according to people familiar with his thinking.
‘
He’s like - Can’t we all just - get back to fist-bumping Kamala!
The GOP needed Trump, but they loathe him.
‘
This kinda surprises me.
He must be running for president.
Well,, that’s refreshing. He wasn’t good last week, but maybe he’s caught up with what’s going on.
Some folks bailed on Trump last week, but I think they were panicked and may come back.
So...FReepers...don’t shoot them down.
There was a big dispute in the early Church over whether people who had apostasized (mostly under fear of torture) could come back. The decision was that they could.
We have to do the same. They’ve had a wake up moment, realized they sold their birthright for a mess of pottage, and they want to come back.
Let them.
The ones who are in on the vote scam and are willing to play the roll of a Potemkin opposition may be reelected by the machine so there will be the illusion of voting. How many emails have we already received by various GOP sources saying they need money for 2022? How many of us are telling them no and unsubscribing?
All 535.
Yes, it is a total fraud story, and it amazes me how many will believe hearsay from CNN.
‘
Yeah, I don’t blame you for not believing Sen. Tim Scott.
