GOP presidential nominee Sen. Tim Scott warned Thursday that Democrats could “weaponize” the comments of Republican candidates against each other.
“I think the road to socialism is through a divided Republican Party,” he told ‘Your World’ with Neil Cavuto. “Anything we say about each other, the Democrats will weaponize against all of us, regardless of the candidate.”
