Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) on Tuesday stumped hard for Donald Trump on Fox News ― and at one point made no sense whatsoever to confused critics on social media.

Host Sean Hannity asked Scott how Republicans can “fight back” against the left’s treatment of Trump, the presumed GOP presidential nominee. Scott revved up into campaign speech mode, proclaiming that “we have the right candidate.” Then things got convoluted fast.

“This is our time to stand up for what America is today, not this utopian American dream that is our nightmare,” Scott said.

Let’s just say Scott’s remark created a utopia for wisecracks on X:

Quite the sales pitch. “WE DONT WANT A UTOPIA!!!”

What does that even mean?🤷🏻♂️

I don't think a utopian dream is the flex he thinks it is...

This is our time to stand up for what America is today,?

🤣🤣🤣Yes, a utopian dream for America is definitely a nightmare for Republicans.

So what is it, @SenatorTimScott?

A utopian nightmare or a dystopian dream? 😅

Is he saying we should be happy with what we have now with no aspirations of anything better?

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz's party moved quickly to replace a top official who stepped down less than a year ahead of a challenging national election, presenting a well-connected left-wing lawmaker on Tuesday as his replacement in a post that is important for the campaign. Kevin Kühnert resigned on Monday as the center-left Social Democrats' general secretary, the official who is responsible for day-to-day political strategy and usually is the lead election campaign manager. Kühnert, 35, an important power-broker in the party in recent years, cited unspecified health problems.
