... Since Scott dropped out of the GOP presidential primary race in November, he has become a sycophantic supporter of the four-times-indicted ex-POTUS.
In January, he told Trump on stage: “I just love you.”
The following month, the lawmaker dodged a question on whether he’d have certified President Joe Biden’s 2020 win if he had been vice president.
And only earlier in May, Scott swerved NBC anchor Kristen Welker’s repeated questions on accepting the 2024 election result. Instead, he only committed to saying Trump will win.

Tim Scott I am sure went into politics thinking he would do good…Well, this is how he ended up. Pretty sad to see this kind of sycophancy. I won’t ever believe anything that comes out of his mouth. Won’t accept election results either unless trump wins…traitor to our constitution and our country.
Just look up "cringe" in the dictionary and you'll find a picture of Tim Scott.
@SenatorTimScott's prostration to Trump is so embarrassing.
Trump uses a teleprompter. Just the other week he was complaining at one of his rallies that it wasn’t working

He just uses one every single speech, stares it down the entire time, and still struggles to read it. But can’t admit that because Dear Leader must be infallible in all things.
always the opposite
Tim Scott truly is trying to overtake Boebert as the dumbest republican
for all.

... "Many of the same politicians who now publicly embrace Trump privately dread him. They know what a disaster he's been and will continue to be for our party. They're just too afraid to say it out loud," Haley told supporters in Greenville.
"Well, I'm not afraid to say the hard truths out loud. I feel no need to kiss the ring. And I have no fear of Trump's retribution. I'm not looking for anything from him," she continued, drawing applause. "My own political future is of zero concern."
Pucker up, Nikki Heat.

Welp…as predicted, Nikki Haley has sold her soul to a lunatic who despises everything she claimed to stand for as a woman, child of immigrants, military wife and a supporter of democracy.
She is the quintessential craven political clout chaser who will clearly say or do anything for political relevance.
Haley had an opportunity to be a leader in the resistance and she chose the dark side. Again.
Pathetic.
So when Nikki Haley said “It is now up to Donald Trump to earn the votes of those in our party and beyond it who did not support him.” She really meant, he can treat me and my voters like garbage and I’ll still fall in line and support him.
Republicans against Trump
Nikki Haley a few months ago: Trump is unfit to be president.
Nikki Haley today: “I will be voting for Trump.”
What a disgrace!
Nikki Haley endorsing Trump during ‘Unified Reich’ week in the middle of his criminal trial is an interesting political choice
Nikki Haley just confirmed that she will be voting for Donald Trump. Haley is a coward. She had the opportunity to stand up for our democracy and for what’s right and instead, she chose to bow down to MAGA and Trump. A total embarrassment.

Nikki Haley was finally leading. She had spoken clearly and developed her own base in politics that Trump couldn’t steal. She stood on her own feet. We even voted for her after she dropped out.
And she just threw it all away. An utterly bizarre and cowardly choice.

what everyone said she would do

I'm pretty sure Trump would be offended to be called "nice", "kind-hearted", and "caring." That's definitely not the image he's been cultivating for decades.

Weird to say the least.
He revels in any MAGAt praise regardless of content.
Presumptive GOP presidential nominee Trump is “unfit for office,” Ryan declared on Neil Cavuto’s Fox News show.
Furthermore, Trump has cost the party “a lot of seats” in recent years, added Ryan, who now sits on the board of Fox Corp.
Nehls, a Trump loyalist who wore a T-shirt with the ex-POTUS’ mug shot on it to President Joe Biden’s State of the Union address, was incensed by Ryan’s latest condemnation of Trump, who last month was convicted in his hush money trial.
CNN’s Manu Raja reported Nehls as telling him:
“Paul Ryan you’re a piece of garbage. You’re a piece of garbage and we should kick you out of the party. Don’t go spouting your mouth off and saying that you’re a conservative. You’re spitting in the face of the leader of our party. I mean grow up a little bit.”
Nehls needs to take his own advice.
Authoritarianism expert Ruth Ben-Ghiat, a history professor at New York University and author of “Strongmen: Mussolini to the Present,” likened it to “how fascists talk.”
“Also Gangsters — these are overlapping categories,” she added on X, formerly Twitter.
What a great political party, huh?
You sound so… er, angry. Feelers get hurt that he criticized your false prophet? MOST OF THE US criticizes him you idiot. Paul Ryan just happens to be Republican. Cry harder.
I could only read this in Macho Man Randy Savage's voice.
