Republican Sen. Tim Scott said he was shocked but would not rush to judgment after the FBI searched former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago home in Florida, a major escalation of the Justice Department's probe into potential mishandling of White House records.
"We need to let this play out and see exactly what happens. But we should have been stunned and surprised and shocked with what happened yesterday," the South Carolina senator said Tuesday on "CBS Mornings."

I CANNOT stand this guy
O.K. Tim, way to straddle the fence while eating milktoast.
Any of you who think he should run for President or be a VP pick should drink a gallon of draino.
He’ll be the GOP 2024 pick. Just watch.
looks like a tough choice between Scott, the druggie democrat and a write-in vote for Hershall Walker?
Has anyone heard from Mike Pence today?
Tim ... you’d best make a stand on this and if you are standing beside Lindsey Graham, I’d duck if I was you.
Honestly Tim Scott just needs to go away.
Is everyone in SC retarded.

Sen. Tim Scott Thursday defended his endorsement of Sen. Lisa Murkowski for re-election, amid blowback from some Republicans who support her Trump-endorsed opponent, Kelly Tshibaka. “The road to socialism runs right through a divided Republican Party,” Scott, R-S.C., said. “I like winning and frankly the best shot at us keeping that seat is without doubt Lisa Murkowski.” Scott said that among the reasons he thinks Murkowski, R-Alaska, gives Republicans the best chance to hold on to her seat in a key election year is that “the power of incumbency is undeniable.” He added that “she works really hard.” The senator's...

South Carolina GOP Sen. Tim Scott said Thursday he would oppose the nomination of Thomas Farr to the federal bench over his links to voter suppression efforts in North Carolina targeting blacks. Scott's decision assures that President Trump's nominee will not be confirmed by the Senate, where retiring Arizona Republican Sen. Jeff Flake had already said he would oppose Farr’s nomination. Senate Republicans have a slim 51-49 majority and could not afford to lose more than one vote since all 49 Democrats oppose Trump's pick. In a statement explaining his decision, Scott, who is black, cited a 1991 Department of...

“If there is a scintilla of evidence that the president colluded with the Russians and Brennan had that evidence, the entire world would already know,” Scott said during a Fox News appearance with host Neil Cavuto. In a Thursday op-ed published in the New York Times, Brennan based his claim that President Trump colluded with Russia on the fact that then-candidate Trump “publicly called upon Russia to find the missing emails of Mrs. Clinton” during the 2016 campaign. “By issuing such a statement, Mr. Trump was not only encouraging a foreign nation to collect intelligence against a United States citizen,...

Republican Sens. Marco Rubio and Tim Scott torpedoed a conservative nominee to the Ninth Circuit appeals court on Thursday whom even liberals called qualified for the bench, citing college-era political comments, energizing Democrats, and creating a new line of attack against the confirmations of dozens of other judicial picks, including Brett Kavanaugh for the Supreme Court. Ryan Bounds, an Oregon federal prosecutor who clerked for Judge Diarmuid O’Scannlain on the Ninth Circuit, had an impressive array of credentials that impressed people on the left and the right. Even the left-wing American Bar Association (ABA) unanimously voted to rate Bounds as...
Let this play out? That’s what got us here in the first place, RINO’s and weak kneed pubbies who allowed themselves to be walked over on every issue. The best defense is a good offense.
Screw them. Dems have 5 seat House majority and a tied Senate and get their way. If GOP had that they’d let the Dems have their way.
Forget a red wave in November. What’s the point?
I’ve seen him on FReepers’ lists as possible VP candidates.
Being a Schumer stooge now is a problem. And didn’t he endorse Murkowski?
SO many do the same thing, and once in incumbents win reelection 97% of the time.
Don’t ever forget...this tool rode in on the Tea Party Tsunami-———
No , he was appointed by Nikki Haley when Jim deMint retired.
I detest this RINO along with RINO Haley. Otherwise i agree with your points.
Tim is an idiot.
He always was but was given a pass because he is black. Just like Democrat blacks, he constantly plays on that.
ESAD Tim Scott! With Judas scum like you and Linda Graham leading the way, South Carolina might as well be California.
Right now Bongino has Tim Scott on the radio show.
“Let it play out.”
