Tim Scott defends Murkowski endorsement amid blowback from the right: 'I like to win'
Sen. Tim Scott is one of several Republicans to endorse candidates in primaries against Trump's preferred choice in 2022

By Tyler Olson , Rachel Paik | Fox News

Sen. Tim Scott Thursday defended his endorsement of Sen. Lisa Murkowski for re-election, amid blowback from some Republicans who support her Trump-endorsed opponent, Kelly Tshibaka.

"The road to socialism runs right through a divided Republican Party," Scott, R-S.C., said. "I like winning and frankly the best shot at us keeping that seat is without doubt Lisa Murkowski."

Scott said that among the reasons he thinks Murkowski, R-Alaska, gives Republicans the best chance to hold on to her seat in a key election year is that "the power of incumbency is undeniable." He added that "she works really hard."

The senator's endorsement puts him at odds with former President Donald Trump in the key Senate race — a move that angered some on the right.

But Scott is far from the only Republican to be on the opposite side of a Senate race from Trump this cycle. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas; former Vice President Mike Pence; Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y.; Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky.; Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky.; and others have endorsed 2022 GOP primary candidates in races where Trump endorsed their competitor.

:pondering: People like Murkowski who vote with the democrats divide the republican party so Scott is attempting to aid in paving the road to socialism? Also if Scott like winning shouldn't he just go ahead and switch to democrat, because recent history seems to support that democrats are winners and republicans are whiners and that's not gonna change with squishy people like him.

Four primary winners, thus far ... (Hawley's up in 2024)

Blake Masters, J.D. Vance, and Eric Schmitt combined with Rand Paul and Josh Hawley could be a major force for good in the U.S. Senate.

I was recently in AK and, although anecdotal evidence, a lot of  pro Murkowski signs

.@SenatorTimScott says the American public needs to let the FBI’s search and DOJ investigation of former Pres. Trump “play out” before jumping to conclusions — adding that this could raise more questions about whether the agency is “doing their job apolitical.” pic.twitter.com/pugU4PcKYe— CBS Mornings (@CBSMornings) August 9, 2022

 Tim Scott has just declared himself a RINO and both he and Murkowski need to go.

When the GOP "tries to win", we get Bob Dole, John McCain, and Mitt Romney - pretenders to the throne.  Nobody likes watered down drinks, neither do they like watered down candidates.

He's been indoctrinated by Mitch McConnell and his senior senator from South Carolina Lindsey (Light shoes) Graham.  Yep! Time for him to go!
