Former GOP presidential candidate Tim Scott seemed uncomfortable when ABC news reporter Martha Raddatz asked if Trump being found liable for sexual abuse and required to pay author E. Jean Carroll $83.3 million bothers him in any way. A surprised and unprepared Scott replied, “Myself and all the voters that support Donald Trump supports a return to normalcy as it relates to what effects their kitchen table. The average person in our country, Martha, isn’t—they’re not talking about lawsuits.”
“As a matter of fact, what I have seen, however,” he continued on ABC’s “This Week” program, “is that the perception that the legal system is being weaponized against Donald Trump is actually increasing his poll numbers.”
