Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) called on Americans to look at the pandemic through a 'prism of optimism.'

Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) told Fox News on Wednesday that he "smells the stench of politics" in the decision-making of Democratic governors who have resisted reopening their states before coronavirus guidelines say it's safe to do so.

Echoing other Republicans who have advanced baseless conspiracy theories, Scott said the governors were acting in order to influence "election results" and not out of concern for public health and safety.

Scott also argued that the public should look at the pandemic, which has killed over 82,300 Americans, through a "prism of optimism."

Experts have repeatedly warned about reopening states before the data shows conditions are safe enough. In testimony before the Senate on Tuesday, at which Scott was in attendance as a member of the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions, Dr. Anthony Fauci said reopening states too early could lead to "spikes that might turn into outbreaks."

That'll fix that "stench" for ya, fucko.

[Blue_Tires]

7. Republicans believe in state's rights until they don't...

[DENVERPOPS]

8. Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC): "smells the stench of politics"

When we were young boys we coined the phrase "fox smells his own hole first"

I find that incredibly applicable in this case.........

[lastlib]

19. Tim, that's the strong scent of your head so far up your ass....

23. I would rather see

Tim Scott install a clear glass marble in his navel, so he could see out when he's got his head up his ***.

[dalton99a]

32. +1

[PaulRevere08]

10. FFS, if the GOPers are so positive that re-opening will be so great

then why do they care what the blue states do? Unless of course they know it will be a disaster and they want everyone to be in the shitter at the same time.

[Stuart G]

12. Senator Tim Scott R, SC is."the stench of politics". He is the definition of that .."stench" K &R

[DENVERPOPS]

24. It's my guess

that he didn't see what the RepubliCONs did to Colin Powell the second they were through using him to sell the Iraq war ?????

Frankly....... the very thought of ANY minority, (especially blacks and mexicans) voting RepubliCON, completely amazes me.........

I am equally amazed at Jewish People I know that defame Obama because he is Black...and worship Trump, his RepubliCON party, and their White Supremacist buddies???? Did they Learn Nothing From Their Past Relatives????????????????????? I often point out to them, that their Black hating friends, hate jews even more than Blacks or Mexicans......WTF

[oasis]

[AllaN01Bear]

[TheFourthMind]

26. Things riders of the tax-payer funded gravy trains say to those who'd prefer to stay alive. n/t

[Brainfodder]

29. I smell something foul alright!

The lunacy of the GOP continues, playing the accuse them of what we are guilty of game.

Relive their golden age of shitting on Obama, maybe too soon? But this is clearly to smear his V.P. Biden.

Helped by the media being what 90% in the hands of GOP whatevers?

Dennis Leary should do a part 2, and probably cut a 12" both sides cut with so much material?

Trump and the Insane Clown Pussy Grabbers Association probably can't make it to November with this obvious con attempt of the American Political System?

How many more dumb theories by November 1st?

Lowball guessing the number of C-19 caused deaths, again and again, not even close?

[Baked Potato]

30. He can smell politics, but not crime?? Better get that smeller checked, Tim!

[turbinetree]

33. He is another abject failure to perform his job description to defend and protect the citizens

and the Constitution.........and should resign.........He Has Blood On His Hands..........

[Stuart G]

34. He is up for reelection in 2022 ..2 1/2 years from now...He does not have to worry about

reelection this November. So he will not be accountable for this statement. Obvious isn't it?
Who is really behind this statement? I know, so do you.

[turbinetree]

35. Yepper spot on....................a lunatic............
