They just can’t help themselves

@scrappyone76

Tim Scott is now approximately one difficult follow-up away from blaming Jimmy Carter.

Salient difference: Biden brought Inflation down to 2.9% which had spiked due to global supply constraints fueled by the Pandemic & Ukraine Invasion, none of which were caused by him. vs Rising Inflation, higher unemployment, lower manufacturing, upward trending CPI, PPI, PCE caused solely by the self-inflicted, reckless actions of one individual.

Kristen Welker did a fair job here, better than she often does, but she still let Scott ramble nonsensically for far too long. And Scott sucks at it, I don't know how he gets over on anyone. This was an opportunity for Welker to be stronger that she was.

@joncoopertweets

But but His talking points for today are Joe Biden and sharia law Tune in next week for communism and Bill Clinton

On Monday they claim that Biden wasn't even the real president and others made all the decisions. On Tuesday Biden is the reason why Trump attacked Iran.

Biden had to fix what trump fucked up. Trump inherited an economy that was the envy of the world..

Imagine blaming Biden for all your problems. This is a failed administration.

Trump DID NOT inherit a WEAK economy. US ECONOMY ENVY OF THE WORLD UNDER BIDEN

She is finally trying to push back, but American journalists give too much deference to the interviewee. In 2026, we don't want pleasant exchanges.

@TPBlue4 As per usual with the MAGATs: “Buh Buh Buh Buh BUT BIDEN”

Tim Scott kept mentioning "Affordability" during this interview on Meet The Press this morning. Yet Trump continues to say that the word "Affordability" is a fake made up word by CNN. Also, Scott said when Biden left office Inflation was 21%. NO, it was 3%. With Trump now it's 4%. Are we not tired of Scott's BS and him in general? He is such a sleeze bag.

Yes let Tim Scott finish what his puppet master told him to say or he will be tossed aside like a soiled diaper.

@mehdirhasan @SenatorTimScott You’re on TV lying your ass off for a failed President. No matter how much you kiss Trump’s ass Senator, he doesn’t give a fuck about you!!! Shame on you for lying to your people in SC!!!!

These clowns never take any responsibility for their own incompetence and corruption. It won't be long before they start blaming obama, clinton, and the 1970s for why everything sucks now. 🙄

@mehdirhasan This guy is the biggest yes MASSA coon ever.

JOE BIDEN INHERITED COVID FROM TRUMP When Joe Biden left office in January 2025, the U.S. economy showed strong job growth and low unemployment 👉🏽U.S. economic growth outpaced other advanced global economies coming out of the pandemic.

Tim Scott is a stain on South Carolina. And conservatism. He fights for the colleges, the $ changers, the Dept of Education and the most harmful loan scam in US History.

WELKER: Susan Collins says Trump's Canada tariffs will increase costs on American families. Is she right? TIM SCOTT: Joe Biden. WELKER: Wait. President Trump has been in office for two years. Inflation was at 3% when Biden left office. It's at 3.4% right now. SCOTT: Joe Biden. WELKER: The Biden administration is over! SCOTT: Joe Biden.

When your best defense for why you’re so incompetent is that the previous guy didn’t leave you the perfect situation, the problem isn’t the previous guy. Ever hear Obama whine about the Bush recession? Ever hear Biden whine about the Trump pandemic? Stop voting republican.

3.0% when Biden left. 3.4% now. Two years. A Republican senator is the one saying the tariffs raise prices. The answer to that was "let's look back at Joe Biden." There is no arithmetic in which that helps.

The black Lindsey Graham puts his foot in his mouth.

TIM SCOTT: If you make believe hard enough, Joe Biden is still the President. WELKER: Yes, I'm sure millions of people do that everyday.

@OurShallowState Dear dumbass @votetimscott:

Let him finish with the scripted lie….. let him finish blaming JOE FUCKING BIDEN for everything like he is the current president of the United States….. FUCK YOU TIM SCOTT.

The standard reply to these idiots who screech “but Joe Biden” should be “this isn’t Fox News. Our audience doesn’t inhale BS and we demand accountability from our leaders, not finger pointing”.

The media likes to pretend the months of inflation over 5% during Biden’s administration had no lasting impact on prices today.

“It’s a contrast.” America was a better country without a white collar criminal in the White House. 😩

"Look, my talking points say 'Biden Biden Biden' and I don't have the intellect to deviate from them."

@joncoopertweets Tim is so pre-programmed to burp out ‘Biden’ during every hit that he can’t even think on his own anymore.

All these GOP flunkies do is blame Biden for everything wrong with the current economy, AND lie about basic facts such as what the actual inflation numbers are when looking at when Biden left office and currently with Trump firmly in office. Just make shit up….21% cumulative?
