Senator Tim Scott Gave America a Much-Needed 'Ward Cleaver' Lecture about Fairness

Victoria Taft : Feb 7, 2020  PJ Media

"You can speak of David versus Goliath, but if you are the one trying to subvert the presumption of innocence, if you are the one trying to will facts into existence...you are not David. You have become the Goliath..." -Sen. Tim Scott

[PJMedia.com] When you hear Senator Tim Scott's bold and elegant talk about fairness in the impeachment process, you'll understand why President Trump relied so much on his support. You'll also understand why America so clearly needs to know there are greater things at stake than political takedowns. Right and wrong matter. Fairness matters.

America needs to hear Scott's lecture.

President Trump gave Scott a shout-out at his televised post-acquittal gathering on Thursday. Trump said Scott "was the first one to call me" about impeachment and said that Scott never wavered in his support.

President Donald Trump spoke in the East Room of the White House, Thursday, Feb. 6, 2020, in Washington.

Why did he take solace in Scott's support? It all came down to one thing: fairness, or the lack of it.

Leading to the vote that acquitted President Trump, Scott spoke for nine minutes about how fairness was completely lacking in the impeachment process and how crucial it is to our rule of law. If you closed your eyes for a second you might have thought Ward Cleaver was having a heart-to-heart with the Beaver upstairs in the bedroom.

The thing I kept writing down in my notes was fairness. Because here in America you are innocent until proven guilty.

As the president's defense team noted, "at the foundation of those authentic forms of justice is fundamental fairness. It's playing by the rules. It's why we don't allow deflated footballs or stealing signs from the field. Rules are rules. They're there to be followed."

"You can create all the rhetorical imagery in the world, but without the facts to prove guilt, it doesn't mean a thing. They can say the president cannot be trusted, but without proving why he can't be trusted, their words are just empty political attacks"... Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
