"Our country is once again being tested…. Once again, our divisions run deep, and the threat to our future is real…. Joe Biden and the radical left have chosen a culture of grievance over greatness…. I know America is a land of opportunity, not a land of oppression. I know it because I've lived it. That's why it pains my soul to see the Biden liberals attacking every rung of the ladder that helped me climb." -- Republican Sen. Tim Scott (Secessionist-SC), in his video announcing a run for the White House. When you think of the two parties, which one do you associate with a "threat to our future"? When you think of the two parties, which one do you associate with "grievance" politics? When you think of the two parties, which one do you associate with "attacking" the social safety net? Us, too.
As conservative writer Amanda Carpenter said in response to Scott's utterly dishonest gaslighting:
"Scott's reframing of Joe Biden as a soul-sucking Jefferson Davis is weird, willfully blind, and grossly dishonest. The only radicals talking about a national divorce nowadays are members of the party to which himself Scott belongs. He knows this. They attacked his place of work on January 6th. But Scott has no outrage to spare for them."
Scott may be running for President, or he may be running for the VP slot. Either way, he's not going to get within spitting range of the White House in 2024 or ever. He won't even win the primary in his own state!
People will see a liar and hypocrite -- another Trump Republican without the baggage -- and they're not going to be buying it.
