Tim Scott: America needs 'biblically sound leadership' to combat a 'culture of grievance'

Republican presidential candidate Sen. Tim Scot, R-S.C., said Friday that the United States needs "biblically sound leadership" as he tries to make his case to Christian conservatives in Iowa why they should back him for the GOP nomination.

Scott joined former Fox News host Tucker Carlson for a discussion at the Family Leadership Summit, a gathering of grassroots Christian conservative activists in Des Moines. The prominent gathering organized by The Family Leader takes place six months before the Iowa caucuses, the first occasion where Republican voters can formally show support for their preferred presidential candidate.

Carlson, an outspoken critic of the Republican establishment, told Scott that he "Googled" him and found about 10 stories on how Scott is "shooting to the top and all super, super complimentary and all these big Republican donors."

Carlson believes Scott had secured "a lot of support from some of the big money centers in the Republican Party."

“I’ve been working since I entered the Senate to incentivize high-quality apprenticeship programs, which have proven extremely successful in South Carolina, and my Modern Worker Empowerment Act would facilitate innovative business models by adopting a commonsense worker classification standard across different federal laws. The bipartisan SKILLS RENEWAL Act could be a game-changer for workforce development programs, as it would create a flexible skills training credit to give Americans ownership over their upskilling and reskilling pathways. Through bills like the Helping Gig Economy Workers Act, which I helped to introduce, I have also begun working with my colleagues to increase access to benefits for independent contractors in a market-driven manner. We can build on these proposals to unleash innovation and empower workers across our economy.

Good Post, Thanks.
Answers are ALWAYS found in history: if we look to the history of ancient Israel, when they had godless kings, they suffered terribly. But during the time of Godly kings, God blessed them. The leader sets the tone for the nation.

It’s up to US to change America’s future: are YOU willing to live for God? Not just yet? Then expect more wickedness.

Perhaps a constitutional amendment:

It shall be unlawful to enrich one person at the expense any another person on the basis of governmental power.

Where’s Mrs. Scott? 🤔

"biblically sound leadership"

Translation: "None of that 'actually believing what the Bible says' stuff".

Are we to be impressed?

Isn’t it funny how they preach “COEXIST” all the time, but hate Christians, true Americans, those who believe in the Constitution, pro-freedom, and pro-family people?

If I had to pick one guaranteed loser line, that would be it.

Increasing the GOP black vote is doomed as a strategy, for many reasons.

Too bad the GOP is terrified of increasing its share of the white vote - much easier, much higher rewards at the polls, virtual guarantee of solid majorities for years.

Not in the interests of the “donor community”, though.

Increasing the GOP black vote is doomed as a strategy, for many reasons.

I think you can make inroads in the black male vote, but the black female vote is pretty much a lost cause.

We need to put revenue limitations on all levels of government. We need to ban all new forced subsidies. Government needs to be domestically declawed and defanged

And how do you imagine that happening?

Ever since Reagan's idiotic "government is the problem", has the government gotten weaker, or stronger?

.Government is not the problem. The people in charge of it are the problem.

And to fix that, we need a new government, "laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness".

I think you can make inroads in the black male vote

At what cost?

If every black male +1 vote results in -2.5 white male votes, what's the point?

I saw one of his commercials. He says "the right things," but in the typically vague way of politicians.

"Left is ruining America, I love America, Biden evil, freedom good, Democrats evil, America land of opportunity, Judeo-Christian good, I'm proof American Dream is alive, we can restore America, yada, yada, etc.

I've heard the same conservative boilerplate vagaries so many times for decades. Every Republican politician spouts it.

One nice thing about Trump is that his talk isn't canned conservatism. It's often original and surprising. You don't know what he's liable to say. Which is also a reason he upsets the Neocons and GOP Establishment.

Funding GloboHomo & Nazi Ukraine is not biblically sound. It’s Satanic.

Neo- Con,go along, get along. No sale.

Byron Donalds is what Tim Wcott should be,and isn’t.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

I suspect the “Big Money Centers” of the GOP have nothing to do with Biblical Leadership.

Tim Scott is okay, but George Will’s wife is working for him, and that’s a bad sign.

[cowboyusa]

Stop the implied Antisemitism, just say it if you mean it. Sheldon Adelson was President Trump's biggest funder, still backs him, and helped him get Elected. Mabey you need another Candidate.

[cowboyusa]

Agree.
