Tim Scott Pledges To Renew American Strength In New Ads

Tim Scott Pledges To Renew American Strength In New Ads

"I'll be the President who ends the Biden retreat and leads the charge for American strength." - Tim Scott

CHARLESTON, SC - Tim Scott launched new ads today ahead of his post-debate early state swing to New Hampshire, Iowa, and his home state of South Carolina. The ads highlight the consequences of Biden's policies on everyday Americans as Tim shares his message to renew American strength.

'Tragic' airs in New Hampshire today honing in on the fentanyl crisis that has impacted thousands of Americans.
'Lead the Charge' airs in Iowa. Tim lays out how he’ll end the Biden retreat.

WATCH: Tragic

TRAGIC TRANSCRIPT:
SCOTT: I'm at our southern border to send a message to the radical Left.

Biden's liberal policies aren't compassionate. They're tragic.

Teenagers overdosing on fentanyl. Young women being sold by human traffickers. Violent crime on the rise.

As Commander in Chief, I will eliminate Biden's 87,000 IRS agents and use that money to finish the wall and double the border patrol.

I'm Tim Scott and I approve this message because we must secure this border now.

WATCH: Lead The Charge

LEAD THE CHARGE TRANSCRIPT:
SCOTT: Joe Biden is out of step and out of ideas.

He has law enforcement retreating from our border and our neighborhood streets.

And America retreating from our deepest held values.

I'll be the President who ends the Biden retreat and leads the charge for American strength.

I'll build the wall, fund our police, and defend our God-given freedoms.

I'm Tim Scott and I approve this message because I have faith in America and our president should too.

Tim Scott: The American Dream Is Alive

Tim Scott: The American Dream Is Alive

Tim Scott: I was a disillusioned young man, growing up in a single-parent household, mired in poverty.

I wondered if the American dream was real for a kid like me. I can stand before you today, and say the dream is alive, it is well, and it is healthy.

I have the good fortune to have a mom who worked 16-hour days, making sure we had food on our tables. She taught me that if you're able-bodied in America, you work.

If you take out a loan, you pay it back.

If you commit a violent crime, you go to jail. And if God made you a man, you play sports against men.

I'm Tim Scott. I'm asking for your vote, and if you're living in Iowa, I'm asking you to caucus for me.

Release: Tim Scott on Education: "Break The Backs Of Teachers Unions"

Tim Scott on Education: "Break The Backs Of Teachers Unions"

Martha MacCallum: Senator Scott, faith is on decline in this country, you talked about it a little bit before tonight. So, is there a role for a President of the United States, in changing that? What would you do to change that?

Tim Scott: Well, our nation was founded upon the Judeo-Christian values that have made this the greatest nation on God's green earth. I'm a big believer in Ephesians 3:20, that God is able to do exceedingly, abundantly, above all that we ask or imagine. Our responsibility should be to model the behavior we want others to follow. On education, the only way we change education in this nation, is to break the backs of the teachers unions. They are standing in the door house of our kids, locking them into failing schools, and locking them out of the greatest future they can have.

Release: Tim Scott: Fire The 87,000 IRS Agents, Hire Border Patrol Agents

Tim Scott: Fire The 87,000 IRS Agents, Hire Border Patrol Agents

Tim Scott: Let's fire the 87,000 IRS agents and hire, or double, the number of Border Patrol agents. I just left Yuma, Arizona about two weeks ago. The most pressing need of the American people, from a national security standpoint, is our southern border. It has led to the death of 70,000 Americans because of fentanyl. Plus, 6 million illegal crossings since President Biden has taken office, and 200 people on our national security watchlists have been caught at our border. How many have not been caught at our southern border? If we just spent $10 billion we could finish the wall. For $5 billion more, we could have military-grade technology to surveil our southern border to stop the flow of fentanyl, and save 70,000 Americans a year. That should be the priority of this government, and as the next President of the United States, I will make that border wall complete.

Release: Tim Scott: "We Need Lady Justice To Wear A Blindfold"

Tim Scott: "We Need Lady Justice To Wear A Blindfold"

"This DOJ uses their power, uses their authority, not just against political opponents, but against conservatives." - Tim Scott

Tim Scott: Absolutely, he did the right thing, number one. Number two, we should be asking ourselves a bigger question about the weaponization of the Department of Justice. When I'm President, the first thing I'll do is fire Merrick Garland. The second thing I'll do, is fire Christopher Wray, because we need Lady Justice to wear a blindfold. Without that, no one has confidence in our justice system. 17% of Republicans have confidence in our Department of Justice. Here's why: We keep seeing not only the weaponization of the Department of Justice against political opponents, but also against parents who show up at school board meetings. They're called out of this DOJ- they're called domestic terrorists.
...
Not only that, in addition to that, we see the SWAT team show up at pro-life activists' homes with guns drawn because this DOJ uses their power, uses their authority, not just against political opponents, but against conservatives and conservative causes. It is time for a change in America, and I will bring that change to the greatest nation on God's green earth.

Release: Tim Scott: "We Must Fight For Life"

Tim Scott: "We Must Fight For Life"

Tim Scott: We cannot let states like California, New York, and Illinois have abortions on demand up until the day of birth. That is immoral, it is unethical, it is wrong. We must have a President of the United States who will advocate and fight for at minimum the 15-week limit. I am 100% a pro-life conservative, I have a 100% pro-life record. I gotta tell you, though, we must fight for life. Our Declaration of Independence says our Creator gave us inalienable rights that include life! That is an issue we must solve. We can't leave it to Illinois, we can't leave it to Minnesota. We must solve that issue with a 15-week limit at a minimum.

Release: Tim Scott: "America Can Do For Anyone What She's Done For Me"

Tim Scott: "America Can Do For Anyone What She's Done For Me"

Tim Scott: Absolutely Not. Here’s what the American people deserve: is a debate about the issues that affect their lives. Going back and forth and being childish is not helpful to the American people, to decide on the next leader of our country. Number two, as a kid who grew up in a single parent household, mired in poverty, I wondered was the American Dream real for kids who are devastated by poverty? Devastated by the challenges of life? I came to the conclusion that, America can do for anyone what she’s done for me. If we focus on restoring hope, creating opportunities and protecting America, if we want the environment to be better, and we all do, the best thing to do is to bring our jobs home from China. If we create 10 million new jobs in my Made in America plan, we will have a better economy and a better environment. Let me tell you why I say that...
...
America has cut- I’m a southern boy, I talk slow. America has cut our carbon footprint in half in the last 25 years. So, places where they are continuing to increase, Africa at 950 million people, India over a billion, China over a billion. Why would we put ourselves at a disadvantage? Devastating our own economy? Let’s bring our jobs home.

Release: Tim Scott Slams Bidenomics

Tim Scott Slams Bidenomics

Martha MacCallum: So, what have you done to rein in the increasing size of government?

Tim Scott: Thank you for the question. Over the last several years, I've had an opportunity to vote against spending package after spending package after spending package. What we also need to understand is that Joe Biden's Bidennomics has led to the loss of $10,000 of spending power for the average family. When you see 16% inflation, your gas is up 40% Your food is up 20%, your electricity is up 20%, We can stop that by turning the spicket off at Washington, sending the money back to the states, and allowing the decisions to be made at their own houses. I helped write the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act in 2017. We cut taxes for single moms like the one that raised me, by 70% for dual households by 60%, Returning to the average family $4,000. If you don't send it to Washington, we can't spend it. That's good news for the American people.
