Senator Tim Scott will not oppose certification of Biden’s Electoral College victory
WCBD ^ | 1/5/2021 | Chase Laudenslager

CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCBD) – Senator Tim Scott (R-SC) on Tuesday announced that he will not oppose certification of Electoral College results cementing President-Elect Joe Biden’s victory during Wednesday’s Joint Session of Congress.

Scott is breaking with many House republicans and a few Senate republicans who plan to object to the results in some states where Biden won.

However, Scott understands that “in nearly every election across this great country, there is some modicum of error. Some errors are merely mistakes, while some are intentional, and therefore fraud.” In the case of Trump’s opposition to the results, “Thus far, no justice, judge or fact finder has found evidence indicating the election results in those states should be overturned.”

In a statement, Scott said that he is “grateful for all of the work President Trump has done for the people of this country, and [he] was proud to work with him” on multiple endeavors. But in his reading of the Constitution, he found “no constitutionally viable means for the Congress to overturn an election wherein the states have certified and sent their Electors.”

While he believes that his colleagues in opposition are well-intentioned, he disagrees “with their method both in principle and in practice.” He went on to explain that “for their theory to work, Nancy Pelosi and House Democrats would have to elect Donald Trump president rather than Joe Biden. That it is not going to happen, not today or any other day.”

Scott did advocate for stronger voter protection measures, saying “there is a growing perception in this country that our elections are not as secure as they can be, and that must be remedied immediately.” As such, he believes ” the first legislative action the 117th Congress should undertake is the debate and passage of an election security and voter protection package. We must protect future elections from the same uncertainty that has plagued the 2020 election.”

They fist-bump Kamala Harris - while warming others about Covid-19.

They hugged her in the Club.

Did the Senate GOP call anyone named Biden for questioning?

No, the Sebate-led GOP called Don Jr for like 27 hours under oath.

I can’t believe people can’t figure this out.

Who got to him?

Machines changing votes, discarding votes, adding massive loads of ballots (all for Biden?)

Sorry, Tim. You have bought the kool=aid and now swill it down like far too many.

A little corruption is OK. A lot is better. (For the Elites and Swamp Things of DC).

That’ll look real good on your bumper sticker when you run again.

“you decide to stab 75 million Repub voters in the back.”

Speak for yourself. I think the case for changing the result based on fraud is weak, and that isn’t Tim Scott’s fault. I don’t feel that Tim Scott stabbed us in the back.

This move will stop any chance for a Presidential nomination or Vice Presidential nomination because he won’t stand up for 80 million voters. He needs to take his retirement and hide in the shadows.

Another needing to be primaried

Even if he were to be primaried and still win, people should write-in and not vote for the douche. Continuously voting for the lesser evil, election after election, is what got us where we are today.

Does he know that no one looked into it?

One would think that he knows, he and his buds took four years to look at the Coup - and never finished, so it takes time.

They refused to look, and now this idiot claims there was an Investigation.

This is the Senate GOP, Ladies and Gentlemen.

It sounds like Sen. Tim Scott is ignoring evidence of vote-counting fraud that has been made public, therefore ignoring his oath to help guarantee a republican form of government for each state.
"Article IV, Section 4: The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government [emphasis added], and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence."

With the number of sources pumping out more evidence on a daily basis, it seems a guy would need to work pretty hard not to hear any of it, which leads me to believe his uninformed condition is simply intentional, willful DENIAL.

Perhaps, but I bet he’s got a “GOP Beltway consultant” in his office every day telling him nothing can be done. And if he does anything he will damage this, this and this !

E-mailed him.

Using the subject of Education.

“Romans 1:22
Claiming to be wise, they became fools.

The fools that follow those who engage in corruption are see by the Lord God.
Their evil acts, though often hidden on earth are seen in the Eternal Truth Of the LORD. “

“so maybe the rumor about him being against trump was right”

Scott was first appointed to the position by - you guessed it, Nikki Haley. And guilty people everywhere felt so good. And for the same reason guilty people felt good about themselves when Obama was elected president.

Since he has done just enough to get reelected. The son of a share-cropper and all that.

What has he actually accomplished?

You tell me.

Not that I’ve heard of. I’ve only heard him present it to legislators.

Via e-mail — Romans 1:22

It most likely will only be seen by a staffer.

That said, at least that one person will read one Biblical passage today.

I am so glad the Trumpsters went to the voting booth in Nov in droves.

The RINO GOPrs are literally being forced to be open about their disdain for the American Constitution.

It’s already assumed the democrats are evil.
