Tim Scott dodge on accepting election results sends 'very chilling signal': Miles Taylor [View all]

[Uncle Joe]

Miles Taylor, former chief of staff at the Department of Homeland Security, said Sunday that Sen. Tim Scott’s (R-S.C.) interview in which he dodged repeatedly on whether he would accept the election results in 2024 sends a “very chilling signal” ahead of the November election.

“Well, the hesitation, the faltering in his voice: It’s an audition. He’s auditioning, and he was thrown a question by the casting directors that he didn’t expect,” Taylor said. “And I think this is something that is sending a very chilling signal.”

Taylor later added, “I’m very personally disappointed in some of these members of Congress who I’ve known, like Tim Scott and Elise Stefanik, and others who are hewing to this line to get close to Trump. It’s taken something that we thought was a threat to democracy from one man, and it’s extrapolated it through the upper ranks of the entire party.”

Taylor said he was concerned about the similarities in Scott’s rhetoric to Trump’s remarks ahead of the 2020 presidential election, when Trump hinted repeatedly that he would not accept the election results if he lost.
