WATCH: Sen. Tim Scott Criticizes Democrats For Speaking To ‘The Lowest Common Denominator’ By Accusing Trump Of Racism

Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) defended President Donald Trump on Monday and slammed Democrats for persistently accusing Republicans of racism because the party’s own policies are so unpopular.

“What you do smell — not hear, but smell — is fear. What you smell is fear on the Left,” Scott said while appearing on Fox New’s “Ingraham Angle.” “They have been consistently using the race card. Every single time there’s a presidential run, you’ll hear John McCain — racist. Mitt Romney — racist. Ronald Reagan — racist. George Bush — racist. [George] W. [Bush] — racist.”
