Republican South Carolina Senator Tim Scott blasted President Joe Biden for allegedly ripping off key points of his police reform bill to score partisan points.
In a statement Wednesday evening, shortly after Biden signed an Executive Order establishing a series of strict police reforms, Scott said that Biden took critical pieces of the Executive Order from his own comprehensive police reform legislation, the JUSTICE Act, which stalled in the Senate in 2020 because of Democratic opposition. Scott said Biden’s Executive Order imposes mandates on local police departments without giving them additional funding to help them comply, setting the departments up for failure.
