Sen. Tim Scott on Trump telling the Proud Boys to "stand back and stand by" at last night's debate: "I think he misspoke. I think he should correct it. If he doesn't correct it, I guess he didn't misspeak."

1. Be a fucking man and condemn

the racist in chief - the killa Con aka the shitshowman!

2. Wow. What a principled statesman.

3. He didn't misspeak. He not only refused to condemn white supremacy, he encouraged it.

4. "Profiles in Meh...." nt

5. Republican excuse coming later today:

"He was just KIDDING. He says these things!!! Gosh you LIBS are so SENSITIVE!!!!"

10. "Don't you understand sarcasm?"

6. He is in total denial this Senator...

I sense he thinks for one Nano-second that the Proud Boys will not attack him or his family..he is in for a reality bite style smack on the forehead..

7. Shakes head . . . .

Senator Scott - do you realize that shithole wants violence against Americans? Your constituents?

Oh that's right, you don't care.

8. What a worm.

Fuck you, Tim. Trump is obviously unfit for any public office, but through your failure to condemn his bullshit you’re proving that YOU’RE unfit to hold any public office as well.

9. He did not misspeak

After telling proud boys to ‘stand back and stand by,’ he said the following (verbatim):

But I’ll tell you what, somebody’s got to do something about antifa and the left.

If that’s not tacit approval, I don’t know what is.

11. Good Points, Except...

...PINO didn't say "stand down". He said " stand by".
That's much worse.

12. Corrected

13. Someday, Uncle Tim's testicles might drop.
