Sen. Tim Scott (R-S. C.), the sole African-American Republican in the upper chamber, said that President Trump’s tweets threatening demonstrators and looters with “shooting” and “vicious dogs” amid protests over the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis are “not constructive,” but said the president has been receptive to his advice in private.
“Those are not constructive tweets, without any question,” Scott said on “Fox News Sunday” when asked about the tweets, adding that he had spoken to Trump in private and told him that “it helps us when you focus on the death, the unjustified, in my opinion, the criminal death of George Floyd.
