Sen. Tim Scott: ‘I Still Believe That President Trump Is the Most Powerful Political Figure on Either Side’
Breitbart ^ | 02.17.2021 | Trent Baker

Posted on 02/18/2021 2:36:43 AM PST by USA Conservative

Wednesday on Fox News Channel’s “America’s Newsroom,” Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) weighed in on the spat between former President Donald Trump and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY).

Despite some in the GOP distancing themselves from Trump now that he is out of office, Scott emphasized the need for more of Trump’s policies for a better economy. He added that with how the media covers Trump, he is still “the most powerful political figure on either side.”

“I’ve often said that President Trump’s love language does not include words of encouragement. And perhaps that spat only reinforces that fact,” Scott stated. “The truth is for the Republican Party to win, we need every single Republican-leaning voter to take a look at the GOP — the great opportunity party and why we have the right principles and policies to move this nation forward. If we get into personality [squabbles] and fights, we are going to be in a challenging place in 2022 and 2024, which means America will be embracing socialism because we can’t get our act together on the right.”

Host Bill Hemmer asked, “How much do you need President Trump in 2022?”

“I still believe that President Trump is the most powerful political figure on either side,” Scott replied. “The news loves President Trump, or they hate President Trump, which gives him plenty of coverage. What we need, in fact, is a unified message from the Republican Party. We don’t need personalities driving your future. The policy positions of President Trump led to the lowest unemployment rates for African-Americans, Hispanics, Asians, for women in 70 years.”

Tim got shaking knees and seat down -- when we needed him to stand tall and watch our back. Sorry but actions have consequences.

there’s that word “unity” again drooled out as “unified”. We do not need unity if it means that everyone has to pronounce fealty to the democrats and kiss the ring of the woke mobsters. Someone has to break the hold of these fascists before the muskets come out and speaking unity with them is not where we are going.

Counterrevolutionaries do not speak unity. It’s time to break the wheel.

POTUS, Donald J, Trump is the number one effective leader of this great Nation Republic & the entire world!!! Fact is: Fake POTUS, Democrat Joe Biden, & his low life Democrat scum/vermin humanity, Pelosi, Schumer, Harris, are total useless wastes...period!!! Case closed!!! Wise up American people and throw these clown, buffoons out of office and banish them all to forever obscurity!!! There is not one true leader among the whole lot of them!!!

When will the American people get a backbone, and dump these fools into the nearest trash can. That is where they all belong!!!

Do you get the feeling the exodus people and money is starting to get their attention. As always they are a day late and a dollar short. 😀

All of the Senate and the House should remain in their districts at home and ZOOM it in on line...like all the rest of us.

They hear and see better when they’re at home. In DC K St. plays louder and papers their desks and their staffers

“ What we need, in fact, is a unified message from the Republican Party.”

How many election cycles will it take before the Republicans start to get it? This guy is totally tone deaf, no one cares about talk anymore. It is going to take action, and the willingness to stand up and do what’s right even though the media is attacking you.

Scott is typical GOPe. Hide under his desk or go AWOL when we need him. Say the right things when it doesn’t matter. No thanks.

Partial description of a republican.

The complete description is a spineless eunuch with the worlds most fallacious ego of all time and the ability to lie to anyone without exception.
