Republican presidential candidate His. Tim Scott he says his public needs may not be for everyone.
“For those who don’t like the clear, fundamental principles of Judaism, choose someone else,” said Scott, RS.C. “It’s easy.”
Scott made the comments during a nearly 30-minute interview with the former Fox News host Tucker Carlson Friday in Des Moines, Iowa, at the Family Leadership Summit, a Christian conference that focused on the political issues facing America.
The conference features interviews with Carlson’s six GOP presidential candidates in 2024: Scott, former Gov. Asa Hutchinson, former Arkansas Gov. Vice President Mike Pencebusinessman Vivek Ramaswamy, former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.
Scott told the crowd that he is running on five main things:
- “If you take a loan, you will pay it back.”
- “There is honor in all jobs. Therefore, if you have energy, you work.
- “When you commit violence, you go to prison.”
- “Men should compete in sports with men.”
- “Our southern border is the greatest security challenge facing our nation.”
Scott was the first to take the stage with questions from Carlson in front of many Christians and listeners who attended the event.
Carlson questions In Scott he focused on how to lead America in the war because of the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine, how to solve the problem of homelessness in the country, and what he can do to solve the problem of the American border and stop the flow of fentanyl. the world.
American Military, War and Russia
“We should not allow American troops to get involved in the crisis between Ukraine and Russia,” Scott said when Carlson asked him if America was in danger of going to war with Russia. “Our boots on the ground shouldn’t be there.”
Scott’s comments came less than 24 hours after President Joe Biden announced the deployment of 3,000 US troops to Europe.
“America’s national interest is undermining the Russian military,” Scott said. “When we insult the Russian military, we make sure that our home is safe and that our NATO partners, which will allow us to send troops, [are] safe.”
Carlson continued to press Scott on his foreign policy stance on Russia and Ukraine, asking several times if Scott would support sending military equipment to Ukraine as Biden had recently announced.
The South Carolina lawmaker did not directly answer the question, instead saying, “If I were president of the United States, we wouldn’t have to do that.”
“We would have the weapons and defense systems that provide the weapons that we and our Western allies need,” Scott said. “We wouldn’t be in this place at all.”
He said that America’s biggest military threat to Russia is Russia, but the biggest threat that will exist for a long time. and China.
‘Why Is Mexico Less Dangerous Than Russia?’
The fentanyl problem claims of hundreds of thousands of American lives each year quickly arose as a major issue when Carlson asked Scott about America’s homelessness epidemic and open borders.
“Why is Mexico more dangerous than Russia?” Carlson asked, noting that he doesn’t know anyone who has been killed by Russia in the US, but he’s catching up Mexican position to those they know who have lost their lives to fentanyl.
“Mexico allows fentanyl to be produced in their country and cross our border, because money from Mexico is a big part of their economy,” Carlson said.
Scott said he thinks the U.S. can deal with threats from Russia and Mexico that pose an immediate threat to America. He said the legislation he supported would “freeze Mexican gangs, fight Mexican cartels, and hopefully end the flow of [fentanyl].”
The first step to stop fentanyl from crossing the border, according to Scott, is to complete the wall on the southern border and use additional technology to monitor it.
‘I do not represent donors’
Scott’s faith in Jesus Christ was a topic of conversation throughout his interview with Carlson, as he made it clear that he served God more than campaign donors.
Scott said: “Look at me as a person who believes that God is able to do greater things than anything you can ask or imagine. refunds, because I do not represent donors. I do not represent the people who donate. I stand because there was someone who walked the earth for 33 years, who gave money to pay for our freedom.”
According to Scott, it is the Bible the truths that guide his life that America needs so much right now.
“America needs good and strong biblical leadership to get back on track,” Scott said.
