<p>Sen. Tim Scott (R-FL) slammed NBC News host Kristen Welker this week for trying to run cover for the Democratic Party&#8217;s extreme stance on abortion.</p>
<p>The exchange happened during a Sunday interview on &#8220;Meet The Press&#8221; when Welker asked Scott about former President Donald Trump&#8217;s position of leaving the issue up to the states.</p>
<p>&#8220;Well, there&#8217;s no doubt that the Dobbs decision sent it back to the states,&#8221; he said. &#8220;So, the Supreme Court has ruled, the leading candidate, our Republican nominee, has made it very clear that this is a state&#8217;s issue. That is the decision that will be made and we will see how the states handle it. But there&#8217;s no question that President Trump has been very clear that he wants to issue left to the states, with three exceptions for rape, incest and the life of the mother.&#8221;</p>
<p>Scott said that he stands by his view that there should be a 15-week limit on abortions and that he has &#8220;certainly not changed about my position whatsoever.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;The fact of the matter is that every single Democrat in the Senate and in the House have voted for abortion up until the day of birth,&#8221; he noted. &#8220;The former governor of Virginia has said – he was a pediatrician – even infanticide. So, stopping late term abortions is something that 90% of Americans actually believe in –&#8221;</p>
<p>Welker immediately interrupted and claimed: &#8220;Democrats don’t support – that’s false, senator. Democrats don’t support infanticide.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Kristen, they’ve already voted for it,&#8221; Scott noted.</p>
<p>Welker responded: &#8220;Senator, no, no, no. Senator, but as you know, late term abortions are exceedingly rare.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;They voted for abortions up until the day of birth,&#8221; Scott said. &#8220;I’m just telling you what they voted for.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Kristen, you cannot deny the fact that the Democrats have voted – not talked about, but voted – for abortions until the day of birth. That is a fact,&#8221; Scott said. &#8220;You can look that up in the records of Congress. So, I’m not talking about hypotheticals. You continue to bring me hypotheticals. The truth is, and I got to say, this is kind of – kind of interesting, the truth is simple. The Democrats are radical. 90% of Americans don’t agree with them.&#8221;</p>
