Tim Scott on Exchange with Abby Phillip on Fairness of Trump Verdict: ‘I Appreciate Your Tone and Tenor... ‘

PHILLIP: “What evidence is there of that?”
Scott: “Hunting — very clearly, hunting Republicans. Not just everyday Americans, but conservatives — “
PHILLIP: “Okay, so what’s the evidence of that?”
Scott: “Example one is when you see a swat team come into a pro-life activist’s home with their weapons drawn. That one situation actually echoed throughout this entire nation. And we saw person after person saying, ‘Wait a second. You mean a person in their own home, not committing a crime, just trying to serve breakfast, finds himself with guns drawn on him?’ You’re talking about — “
PHILLIP: “But what does that have to do, senator, with President Trump — “
Scott: “You asked me to give you an example. I’m giving you an example.”
PHILLIP: “I hear that example, but I just want to follow up here — “
Scott: “Example number two — “
PHILLIP: “ — because this is about President Trump being — “
Scott: “Let me give you a second example.”
PHILLIP: “Let me just ask you, this is about President Trump.”
Scott: “You don‘t really want examples, because this is pervasive through our system.”
PHILLIP: “You‘re using Donald Trump as an example of how the — he is a case study in how the ‘justice system’ is going after Republicans. But in this particular case, he was tried, just like any other person, for an allegation, and a jury, not a judge, not a prosecutor, not Joe Biden, not the attorney general, a jury of 12 Americans found him to be guilty. So how is that the justice system not working the way it‘s supposed to?”
Scott: “Well, Abby, I appreciate your tone and your tenor. The problem is, of course, that when you have a jury made up of — 96% of Manhattan are Democrats, they‘ve already said most of them don‘t like Donald Trump. So when you find yourself in a justice system where the jury aren‘t people that are actually objective and open-minded, but people who‘ve made up their decisions before the case starts — “
PHILLIP: “They just happen to live in New York, which is where the crime was allegedly committed.”
Scott: “They question the results. They question the results of the justice system. Everyday Americans all across this country, even the never-Trumpers, are now calling and joining the team. Donors who sat on the sidelines are now joining the team because November 5th is a day of reckoning and America will be spoken — will be heard. Our voices will be heard loud and clear. And I can guarantee you the American people, we the people, will be on the side of Donald Trump. November 5th is a day of reckoning.”
