No doubt other republicans will express concern—and then go back to their regular business

Trump has been indefensible all along, Senator. So why have you been defending him Tim?

the abomination’s retweet further bolsters the case that he’s not trying to get re-elected but he is trying to set himself up for future grift opportunities as the racist’s Chosen One.

Susan Collins seems to have a lot of influence on Repub Senators. Concerning, Indefensible, … so many words to serve the dear leader without being his target.

“‘We’ should take it down.” he says. So, he considers himself part of the group.
Looks like a good time for Scott to change parties.

Susan Collins says she may be somewhat concerned about it.

Donald lives in a bubble that doesn’t allow him to go beyond what he knows, (its a very small bubble) so I don’t think he actually realizes that the majority of Americans don’t support this white power shit.

Distraction from Russian bounties on American soldiers. Also, NOW you’re offended, Sen. Scott? How in the world is anyone supposed to take a Republican seriously?

It is wrong, it is concerning, and it’s just not right that somebody made this public so I have to pretend to care

The obviously easy part is to deem it indefensible. They next question should be what do we do about the fact that the POTUS is a white nationalist and is pretty much channeling David Duke? “Don’t retweet and take it down” are not answers to the question. Scott knows that full well.

It’s “indefensible” and yet you still defend the scum who retweeted it, Senator Scott, by not condemning him for it.
