Tim Scott Slams Biden for ‘Inflammatory’ Speech on Republicans: ‘Elections Have Consequences’

Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) called President Joe Biden’s speech about Republicans “soul-crushing.”

During an appearance on “Fox News Sunday,” host Shannon Bream asked Scott, “Is it really a pipe dream to think we can get to some kind of unity?”

Scott replied during Sunday’s interview, “Not at all, Shannon. The good news is that America always comes together after the crisis. I call it the aftermath mentality.”

He added, “Whether it’s 9/11, the most unified time I’ve seen in American history, or you look at South Carolina after the Mother Emanuel shooting.”

Scott suggested Americans are “the most exceptional people on earth, and we do unify after the crisis. The question is, can we have the type of leadership that unifies us without a crisis?”

According to the senator, what we have not seen from the Biden administration is “that type of unifying message that people rally around.”

He went on to mention Biden’s student loan cancellation policy and discussions around inflation.

“And why would we have the President of the United States deliver a soul-crushing speech that was unnecessary, polarizing, and inflammatory?” Scott explained.

He continued, “We have done better, we will do better, and that’s why elections have consequences.”
