Republican Senator Tim Scott says he saw "no justification" for Kenosha cops to shoot Jacob Blake
CBS News ^ | 8/27/20 | Elizabeth Elkind

"Looking at the video, I saw no justification whatsoever for those cops to shoot that young man," Scott said in an interview Thursday with "CBS This Morning" co-host Gayle King. "We need to get to the root of the issue." (snip) Scott credited the wide availability of video cameras for bringing such incidents to light, enabling us to respond to issues of racism and police violence "at a higher level."

This is how we got here. This is GOP-e candidate for 2024.

Next Republican President

No one spoke up about who Blake is and how he lived.

He only confessed to having a knife in his hand, one he didn't drop even after being tasered.

Scott is a moron. He needs to go.

Complete list of the GOP Senators up in 2022:

Roy Blunt (Missouri) Has announced he will retire at end of term.
John Boozman (Arkansas)
Richard Burr (North Carolina) Has announced he will retire at end of term.
Mike Crapo (Idaho)
Chuck Grassley (Iowa)
John Hoeven (North Dakota)
Ron Johnson (Wisconsin)
John Kennedy (Louisiana)
James Lankford (Oklahoma)
Mike Lee (Utah)
Jerry Moran (Kansas)
Lisa Murkowski (Alaska)
Rand Paul (Kentucky)
Rob Portman (Ohio) Has announced he will retire at end of term.
Marco Rubio (Florida)
Tim Scott (South Carolina)
Richard Shelby (Alabama) Has announced he will retire at end of term.
John Thune (South Dakota)
Patrick Toomey (Pennsylvania) Has announced he will retire at end of term.
Todd Young (Indiana)

Toomey, Burr, Blunt, Portman and Shelby are leaving, which helps, but there are a lot of them to primary.

Rubio and Hoeven are Amnesty Senators.

The only ones worthy of re-election are Johnson, Paul and Kennedy.

The rest are Assistant Democrats.

And Blake was a known violent person as well as having a knife in the car which he went for when they were arresting him.

Don’t know but they are pretty consistent about it.

Now I remember why I’ve turned against Tim Scott as a republican one can depend on. Tim sees color first, before deed.

Jacob Blake refused to obey the cops.
At one point, he tried to drive away even though they were trying to put him under arrest.
It also looked like Jacob was reaching around inside the car, continuing to ignore cop orders to come out and lie flat.
He could have been reaching for a gun.

Scott is a phony. He worked with Corey Booker to reform law enforcement. The cop was cleared in the Blake case , because Blake, a prior felon, refused to drop a knife.

It never fails. When it boils down to it, blacks will always side with with other blacks. It’s just the collective, tribal mindset

Palmetto State ping, please.

Tim Scott and Miss Lindsey are two RINOs who are an embarrassment to the great state of South Carolina.

Tim needs to read up. Video is fine, but it’s not xRay vision, nor did it capture the entire encounter.

This tells me Scott’s staff needs upgrading.

"Looking at the video, I saw no justification whatsoever for those cops to shoot that young man,"

Your "young ma" had attacked his girlfriend and was in the process of kidnapping two children and steal a car.

Oh, and he was holding a knife.

How do I know this?

Because he admitted it.

Tim Scott is Lindsey Graham’s brother from another mother.

It should tell you he’s an Assistant Democrat.
Advancing the narrative.
