REMINDER: Tim Scott and Vivek Ramaswamy Support Sen. Tuberville’s Military Blockade, Putting National Security at Risk

Oct 09, 2023

As Tim Scott and Vivek Ramaswamy campaign in the Upstate today, South Carolina Democratic Party Chair Christale Spain released the following statement:

“Tim Scott and Vivek Ramaswamy are campaigning in South Carolina following a deadly attack against Israel, yet both back Senator Tommy Tuberville’s military blockade that’s putting our allies and our military readiness at risk, all in the name of anti-abortion extremism. Our service members and communities in the Upstate deserve to know if they still support undermining our national security in the wake of an attack on our United States ally.”

Senator Tuberville confirmed he will continue to block military promotions in the wake of the attack on Israel. Do Scott and Ramaswamy still stand with him?

  • Scott backed Senator Tubervile’s military blockade that’s impacting the promotion of key American military officials all to prop up his extreme anti-abortion agenda.
  • Ramaswamy called the blockade that’s impacting our service members right here in the Palmetto State “courageous.”
