All the horrible, outrageous, racist, misogynistic, evil shit that Trump spews forth every day was OK by Senator Scott, until Trump pushed the "blacks as monkey people" button.
I'm glad Sen. Scott finally found his limit, but I think we'll see that it's just a hiccup in his otherwise sycophantic loyalty to Trump.

And what has Sen. Scott said about the violence inflicted by ICE agents every day? I can't hear you Sen. Scott.
