Republican Sen. Tim Scott refuses to condemn spreading of misinformation on voter fraud
Republican Sen. Tim Scott on Sunday avoided condemning the spreading of misinformation about voter fraud by former President Donald Trump.
When asked by CNN’s Dana Bash on “State of the Union” about false rumors undermining the integrity of the election, Scott deflected by blaming the media rather than the former president for spreading misinformation.
Asked if he would like Trump to stop spreading the rumors and encouraging his supporters to question the election, Scott said, “I would never tell any candidate on the ballot to talk about what happens if they lose.”
Scott did say the Trump campaign will respect the results, and expressed high confidence the former president will prevail.
“I’m confident that he’s going to win without any question. And yes, I do believe that we will have a fair election. We will honor the results, and we will celebrate the 47th president being Donald Trump,” he said.
