“...excellent Senator who is a strong conservative vote”

Sarcasm?

I know it’s tough. Don’t let it get you down.

It's devastating, but I think I will be alright.

I don’t know what people are thinking.

He wants more Senators like Lisa Murkowski, he said.

He’s a RINO.

He wanted Mueller to continue and expand.

Just think. An entire generation of Americans will have no memory of what they were doing when they found out that Scott had dropped out.

People here listening to Hannity’s lies.

Scott is part of the problem in the Senate.

“sarcasm?”

Did he give Trump trouble on judges? I can only think of one time that he went tribal too.

Tim Scott torpedoed a terrific, conservative, Trump appeals court nominee to Oregon, Ryan Bounds, over “insensitive” writings from college.

If this is what he is truly doing, he is likely to be rewarded.

“Did he give Trump trouble on judges? I can only think of one time that he went tribal too.”

1. Ryan Bounds

Tim Scott is the Problem (5/22/23)

https://stanfordreview.org/tim-scott-is-the-problem/

“Leading the charge to cancel conservative judicial nominee Ryan Bounds for his writings in college makes Scott unfit for public office.”

2. Thomas Farr

GOP Sen. Scott opposes Trump judicial nominee Farr, sinking nomination (11/29/18)

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/gop-sen-scott-opposes-trump-judicial-nominee-farr-sinking-nomination-n941931

“The nominee to be a federal judge for the Eastern District of North Carolina has been accused of legal efforts that effectively disenfranchised African-American voters.”

“Farr was legal counsel on the campaign of former Sen. Jesse Helms, R-N.C., who was investigated for intimidating black voters in 1990.”

Unfortunately, the catfish chick was no help.

Back to the closet, Mr. Scott.

BTW, if anyone’s interested, Scott made his announcement on Tray Gowdy’s Sunday night show. Gowdy appeared visibly upset when Scott broke the news. It’s good comedy for anyone who’s interested. The interview starts at 17:25.
