Tim Scott was not happy upon hearing that Trump referred to Haiti, El Salvador, and African nations as ‘sh**hole countries’. He gave ABC News a statement tonight:

I’m sure we’re going to be seeing more reaction like this from more Republicans.
In the meantime, Trump tweeted about the immigration bill again tonight:
The Democrats seem intent on having people and drugs pour into our country from the Southern Border, risking thousands of lives in the process. It is my duty to protect the lives and safety of all Americans. We must build a Great Wall, think Merit and end Lottery & Chain. USA!

I’m not sure if he’s referring to the bipartisan gang of six proposal or just immigration in general, but he’s starting to sound less like he did the other day where he suggested he’ll sign whatever they send him.
