I saw this headline and actually laughed out loud.

THE REST OF US KNEW WHO HE WAS, SCOTT. HE'S SHOWN US EVERY FUCKING DAY FOR FOUR YEARS.

I mean, I will note that Scott is not wrong. "Will you condemn white supremacy" isn't even a slow, easy pitch over home plate. It's putting a ball on a tee for you to swing at.

This is an invitation to look straight into the camera and say, "Of course I condemn white supremacy. I believe that all men and women are created equal. If that's not something you can get behind, you're un-American and a bad person."

He didn't say that because HE DOES NOT BELIEVE IT.

This:

And Scott's turning on Trump lasted less than 24 hours and it's allllllllllllll because of the Democrats, of course.

Anyway, yes, Scott remains a useless loathsome asshole, on the depressingly long list of loathsome assholes whose work I enjoyed before I discovered who they were as a person.
