“I’ve never seen such hypocrisy in all my life. … This approach toward anarchy continues to run amok. We cannot afford that in the greatest democracy on Earth.”

The intolerant left. The scum of our society ‘sickens my stomach,’ U.S. Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., says

U.S. Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., blasted the hundreds of protesters outside President Trump‘s Minneapolis rally on Thursday night, accusing the raucous crowd of trying to intimidate everyday citizens.

“It’s the most ridiculous thing I saw on TV today,” Scott told guest host Jason Chaffetz on Fox News’ “The Ingraham Angle.”

“I’ve spent the day today running around South Carolina thanking law enforcement officers — from Charleston to Aiken to Hilton Head — thanking them for their service to this country.

Watching this situation in Minnesota just sickens my stomach.”

Scott, a Republican who has served in the Senate since 2013, praised Minneapolis police for trying to quell the burgeoning crowd of angry demonstrators.

He said the protesters were trying to incite violence and antagonize law enforcement. Protesters at one point appeared to block vehicles trying to leave a parking lot near the Target Center, the downtown sports arena where the rally was held.

Scott said those same protesters — who were yelling at police and Trump supporters — were the same people telling the president to “calm down.”

“I’ve never seen such hypocrisy in all my life,” he said, adding he had heard recently from a man who was reportedly accosted in New York for wearing a MAGA hat.

Civilians, he said, are “consistently being intimidated” and are being asked to “cower” to what he characterized as a “new, socialist regime.”
