Surprise, Surprise: Tim Scott and Republicans are hiding from reality again

OPINION: The South Carolina senator’s unwavering support for Trump—despite the testimony at the Jan. 6 committee hearings—while blaming Democrats for rising costs as the GOP continues to vote against measures to help Americans is the height of hypocrisy.

If “see no evil” was a person, this week he would be Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.), the sole Black Republican in the U.S. Senate.

So let me get this straight. The latest play from Republicans is to ignore the Jan. 6 select committee hearings and try to pivot to ranting about the same issues that they have continually blocked progress on, like preventing price gouging at the gas pump, lowering inflation costs for parents, families and caregivers, and lowering prescription medication costs. That’s exactly what happened this week when Sen. Scott was asked if he was watching the Jan. 6 committee hearings.

Picture this. On one side, there are Fulton County election workers today.
