On Friday, Hollywood actress Alyssa Milano urged her Twitter followers to watch Republicans debate the tax overhaul bill hours before its scheduled vote.
“watching…..Senator Tim Scott “$100 a month is real money” to struggling families ? Is he [bleeping] kidding ? HOW MUCH does $100 buy in this day ? Costs me $50 to fill my [bleeping] gas tank FFS,” replied Twitter user Cherl Criss.
Tim Scott had the best ever response to Peltier:
“You mean…besides growing up in a poor single parent household where we had to use the oven to heat the house? Or when we couldn’t afford Christmas presents? Or when I owned 4 shirts total?’
“Timothy Eugene Scott was growing up poor and black in Charleston, S.C., the son of a nurse’s aide who worked 16-hour shifts, when Strom Thurmond, who ran for president as the standard-bearer for segregationists, was at the peak of his powers in the Senate,” reported the Washington Post.
Scott amazing back story:
As you have probably heard by now, the junior senator was once an aimless teen who was failing four classes, and he was on the verge of flunking out of high school. He worked a part-time job at a movie theater, and every day he ordered fries and a water from a nearby Chick-fil-A. The owner of the restaurant, John Moniz, eventually took the 13-year-old Scott under his wing and educated him in the teachings of the Republican Party and self-help evangelicals.
Under Moniz’s watchful gaze — and free sandwiches — Scott’s worldview changed and his prospects improved. Eventually, Scott entered college, graduated, and became a successful insurance salesman before embarking on a career in politics. although Moniz tragically passed away when Scott was only 17, even today the senator credits his success to his one-time mentor.

...
The evil Chick-fil-A (according to liberals) strikes again.
My Accord has a 16 gallon tank.
No doubt.
However, she has a vehicle to fill with gas.
And Hollywood is NOT a cheap place to live.
“Money can’t buy me love.”
Just IMAGINE how his story would have been plastered IN OUR FACES non-stop, had he been a Democrat.
And, no, I am REALLY PROUD OF HIM - he was RESPONDING to a standard Leftist attack line...that make other Republicans run and hide (even if though the Democrats are often, if not mostly, are wealthier).
While he’s not a perfect conservative (in the Trump fold), but he’s DAMN CLOSE! When it comes to supporting Trump’s policies, I never hear his name as being a ‘maverick’. There are a LOT of white Republicans who could learn from him.
At $3.25 a gallon, you must be in California, Washington, Alaska, or Hawaii!
Being poor isn’t running your EBT card over and having to put a couple of steaks back.
Being poor is never having heard of an EBT card and always knowing exactly how much money you have - and it’s all in your pocket.
Ha! Yes indeedie.
$50.00 to fill the tank means she is either driving a truck or a YUGE SUV.
*********
She’s in Cali ,, gas is expensive there ... 16 gallons*$3+ = 50
Huge disappointment
Peltier is just one of Alyssa Milano’s comrades who was trash talking Scott on twitter
I still regard $100 as a large amount of money for most things.
Ha, ha! Touche! Great point.
Yes it can still buy food if a person shops carefully especially
