Biden police order 'is embracing' parts of GOP reform bill Dems filibustered in 2020, Tim Scott says

Video

Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., issued a scathing rebuke following President Biden's new executive order on police reform, slamming Democrats for hypocritically blocking his own police reform bill in 2020 while partially embracing some aspects of his legislation.

"After the radical ‘defund the police’ movement helped create the current crime wave, President Biden is pursuing a partisan approach to many of the exact same policy solutions I proposed in the JUSTICE Act just two years
ago," Scott said in a statement after Biden issued the order Wednesday.

"The fact is Democrats used a filibuster they call racist to block my reforms that they’re now embracing," the senator added…

"While my proposal added funding to help local law enforcement comply with higher standards, the Democrats' proposal sets departments up for failure by issuing unfunded federal mandates," the senator added. "Making it harder for police to do their jobs to the best of their ability should be a nonstarter, yet that’s exactly what the Biden plan does."

"I’m disappointed that the president who campaigned on unity has once again fallen into the trap of divisive politics," Scott concluded.….

Senator Tim Scott is exactly right about this. His bill back in 2020 was the right answer to the problems that needed to be addressed. Racist democrats filibustered his bill because they’d rather have no bill at all than one authored by a Black Republican. And then they later had the nerve to call the filibuster racist.

 

Democrat hypocrisy knows no bounds. Particularly when it comes to race, gun rights, and support for law enforcement.

 

It will be interesting to see what legal issues ensue and if this will be challenged in court

 

So it has parts from his bill but not all of it. Seems pretty obvious. Why’s he playing dumb? Obviously his bill had stuff they didn’t like.

 

So they are “partially” embracing some of the legislation but not all of it and have issued an order with the items they did want minus the items they didn’t want? How is that hypocritical?

Do you or Mr Scott understand that bills include all of the language and just not parts of it?

Do you and Mr Scott support the end of the filibuster because y’all seem to cheer when the cons do it and call the left hypocritical when they do it. That is… kind of hypocritical, wouldn’t you say?

 

Mostly what they didn’t like was his name as author and democrats asked McConnell to pick any other Republican to negotiate a deal on the issue. McConnell refused and said any bill that passed would have his name on it. Scott then gave the rebuttal to Biden’s first joint session speech.

 

So the EO has everything the bill did? You know that's BS

 

No one but you said that.

 

Plagarism is and always has been the hallmark of President Lame Duck's career.

 

This kind of politics is always amusing, if depressingly so due to constant repetition;

Party A : "Why isn't government doing X? If we were in power, we'd do X!"
Party B : [Does X]
Party A: "Why did they copy our policy to do X?"
Party A: [Becomes government. Stops doing X]
Party B : "Why isn't the new government doing X? If we were in power, we'd do X!"
Party A : [Does X]
Party B : "Why did they copy our policy to do X?"
Citizens : We really need you to do A, B and C... Hello... Anyone... ?

 

Then clearly there was more that dems objected to than his name being in it

 

So...... you relentlessly criticize the "other" party when they come up with ideas not in align with Republicans
But, if they introduce legislation that is similar to what a Republican had, then you criticize that.........
Who did you say was hypocritical?

 

Everything else was negotiable in that bill no matter how amended and how many compromise positions democrats could win in negotiation, they refused to even negotiate as long as he was involved and his name was going to be on the final bill.

 

Lol I’ve never seen a bill where everything was negotiable

 

Clearly the majority is going to prevail on the most important measures to it even as there are negotiable matters that all sides can agree on. The one thing the GOP was never going to yield on was Sen. Tim Scott’s primary role in and lead authorship of whatever was passed.

 

Got a source that his name was the issue?
Nah, we both know that’s BS

Opinion piece by a Bush speech writer doesn’t prove anything

 

And now the progressive left rejects the Washington Post….

 

Lol an opinion piece? Yah
