Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) called on Americans to look at the pandemic through a 'prism of optimism.'
Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) told Fox News on Wednesday that he "smells the stench of politics" in the decision-making of Democratic governors who have resisted reopening their states before coronavirus guidelines say it's safe to do so.
Echoing other Republicans who have advanced baseless conspiracy theories, Scott said the governors were acting in order to influence "election results" and not out of concern for public health and safety.
Scott also argued that the public should look at the pandemic, which has killed over 82,300 Americans, through a "prism of optimism."
Experts have repeatedly warned about reopening states before the data shows conditions are safe enough. In testimony before the Senate on Tuesday, at which Scott was in attendance as a member of the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions, Dr. Anthony Fauci said reopening states too early could lead to "spikes that might turn into outbreaks."

This may be the wrath of God. Americans first are so dumb to even vote for republicans. And vote for an incompetent fool like trump.
An idiot like this guy a black republican( a despicable thing in the first place) is merely running his ignorant mouth.
IF the American people don't FINALLY see the utter depravity of GOP candidates and vote them out of office than America is doomed.
The last two GOP presidents have brought the country to the brink of destruction, Bush, and now trump. If thas not enough to reveal them for what they are then we are headed for an ugly end.
We have to get out MASSIVELY and vote...outdo the OBAMA VOTE
