Former Trump attorney Joe Tacopina knocked Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) for his “uneducated, unintelligent” claim that President Joe Biden is “weaponizing the justice system” on Saturday.
Scott took to social media to push claims that Biden used the justice system to go after Donald Trump following the former president’s guilty verdict in his hush money trial this week.
“Joe Biden’s injustice. Joe Biden’s two tier injustice system. Weaponizing the justice system of the United States of America against a political opponent? Un-American. Joe Biden, you’re fired.”
Scott’s remarks add to other Republicans who have seemingly abandoned “law and order” talk to back the presumptive GOP presidential nominee in the wake of the guilty verdict.
“But I sorta lost a lot of respect from what I just heard because he sounded so uneducated, unintelligent and made no sense at all,” said Tacopina, who added that Biden ― and anyone from his Justice Department ― has “absolutely zero to do” with the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office.
“So to say that Joe Biden brought this case is one of the most ridiculous things I’ve heard. We know that’s not the case and even Trump’s lawyers know that’s not the case.”
