Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) is defending his wild speech at the GOP midterm convention, in which he pulled at his clothes and shouted.

Scott yelled that Democrats want to "rip the heart out of our chests," threw his hands around, and made faces.

According to NOTUS, over a dozen GOP staffers and aides "described an organization that has devolved into dysfunction," and "both senators and the White House are growing more incensed with the campaign arm by the day, the sources say."

The anger is directed at both Scott, a longtime ally of President Donald Trump, and executive director Jennifer DeCasper, who are widely considered to be "unserious" and incapable of leadership....

A remark that NRSC Chair Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) made in early 2025 captures the strategy now being blamed for the Republican wipeout, according to The Washington Sun.

According to insiders, Scott laid out his personal priorities that didn’t match the committee’s mission, and that approach has now come home to roost.
