Less than a month before the first Republican primary debate, MAGA Republicans are taking aim at Tim Scott. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the chaotic Republican primary drags on, MAGA Republicans have their knives out for Scott. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Politico Playbook<\/a>: \u201cIn recent days, super PACs associated with DeSantis and NIKKI HALEY have singled out Scott for criticism.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fox News<\/a>: \u201cAnd as Politico first reported and Fox News confirmed, operatives in those super PACs and in other campaigns are increasing their opposition research files on Scott when it comes to his past actions, comments and his record in the Senate.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Politico<\/a>: \u201cThe former New Jersey governor is unleashing on Scott over the South Carolina senator\u2019s refusal to blame Donald Trump for the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol, saying on television Sunday that he was \u2018disappointed\u2019 in Scott and then continuing to drag him during a campaign swing here Monday.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the 2024 Republican field takes aim at Scott, he keeps doubling down on his extreme MAGA agenda.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scott<\/a>: \u201cAs your president, I would encourage and fight for a 15-week limit of abortion in our country.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yahoo News<\/a>: \u201cSen. Tim Scott says Trump is the \u2018one person I don\u2019t blame\u2019 for Capitol attack\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sean Hannity<\/a>: \u201cWhat are the differences in terms of policy positions that, for example, you may have with President Trump?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scott: \u201cProbably not very many at all. I am so thankful that we had President Trump in office.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scott<\/a>: \u201cWe make the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act tax cuts permanent.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scott<\/a>: \u201cWe also have to look at the overall entitlement state of our nation. \u2026 In order for us to tame the tiger, we\u2019re going to have to take a serious look at the overall entitlement state that we have.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
