Sen. Tim Scott: South Carolinians Deserve Leadership, Not Photo Ops, as Democrats Attend “No Kings” Rally During Shutdown

CHARLESTON, S.C. - U.S. Senator Tim Scott (R-S.C.) today issued the following statement regarding Democrat leaders' attendance at the "No Kings" rally during a government shutdown, after they voted 10 times to block the reopening of the federal government:

"While families across South Carolina and our nation are left without essential services and face uncertainty about their next paycheck, Democrats are focused on publicity stunts at their so-called 'No Kings' rally instead of doing their jobs to reopen the government.

"The American people deserve leadership, not photo ops. The fact that this rally is sponsored by groups such as the Communist Party USA and other Marxist organizations is telling of today's Democrat party.

"It's time for the left to stop the political stunts and join Republicans in reopening the government."
