Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) dodged a question Sunday over former President Trumps false claims that he was in mortal danger when the FBI raided his Florida home last year, as the South Carolina Republican hopes to join the former president on his November election ticket.
Trump said last week that the FBI was locked & loaded and ready to take me out when agents searched his Mar-a-Lago estate for missing classified documents, remarks that were met with quick pushback from the Department of Justice and criticism from Democrats.
Scott didnt address the language Sunday when asked by CNNs Dana Bash on State of the Union. Bash noted that President Biden faced a similar search for classified documents.
I saw the video of the SWAT team from the FBI raiding Mar-a-Lago. I have not seen the same video of them raiding Joe Bidens garage, so Id love to have that comparison, Scott said. But more importantly, once again, we find ourselves reinforcing this two-tiered justice system where we see a different standard for Republicans and specifically a different standard for Donald Trump.

In fact, they probably went there when he wasn't there to assure no conflict with TFG's praetorian guard in the secret service.
