his vote yesterday which was a procedural vote, it wasn t the final, that he had done enough good things where he wouldn t hold one thing against him but look what happens today. it was good that he gave him credit for. he s done this. he beat back another nominationing that had racial overtones. alice, you defended thomas farr s actions saying he was not guilty of suppression. what s your reaction to this? i still defend him. at the same time i disagree with senator scott s decision, i respect him. i respect the fact that he took his time and he did his due diligence and he looked into this and he investigate it clearly and as tara said, he s done this before. he voted to proceed with a certain vote but the end of the day he voted against judicial nominee. what s the reaction from trump supporters on this? are they upset with tim scott? they re not happy with it because they wanted to see president trump s judicial nominees move forward. they support president trump because
