Tim Scott Says Voters Aren't Interested In Verdict Against Trump In E. Jean Carroll Case

Huff Post  

LOADING ERROR LOADING Sen. Tim Scott on Sunday defended Donald Trump after he was ordered to pay over $83 million in damages for defaming writer E. Jean Carroll by a New York jury, saying voters are unlikely to care about the outcome of the case. Scott, who appears to be auditioning to be Trump’s vice presidential pick, said most Americans aren’t interested in Trump’s legal woes, when asked if the latest verdict against the former president gave him pause. “Myself and all the voters that support Donald Trump a return to normalcy as it relates to what affects their kitchen table,” Scott told ABC’s Martha Raddatz. “The average person in our country, Martha, isn’t — they’re not talking about lawsuits,” Scott said on ABC’s “This Week.” “As a matter of fact, what I have seen, however, is that the perception that the legal system is being weaponized against Donald Trump is actually increasing his poll numbers.” Scott, who suspended his own 2024 presidential campaign in November, endorsed Trump shortly before the New Hampshire primary. Pressed by ABC’s Martha Raddatz to share his reaction to Trump’s repeated attacks against Haley, including calling her a “birdbrain,” Scott failed to condemn the former president.
