Vice President Mike Pence broke a tie on a procedural vote in the Senate to forward a judicial nomination that the Democrats have been contesting:
Senate now voting to end debate on nomination of Thomas Farr to be a federal judge in the Eastern District of North Carolina. Needs 51 votes.

Thomas Farr procedural vote still open. 49 yeas. 50 nays. GOP SC Sen Scott has not voted. Pence at the Capitol waiting to break potential tie if Scott votes yes
— Chad Pergram (@ChadPergram) November 28, 2018
GOP SC Sen Scott ultimately cast the 50th yea vote to break the filibuster on the Farr nomination, setting up the Pence tie-breaker

Sen. Tim Scott was a late “yes” vote for the Republicans:
Sen. Tim Scott votes Aye on Thomas Farr.

Democrats have tried to hold up Thomas Farr’s nomination by accusing him of being a “vote suppressor”:
It took Mike Pence coming into to break a tie, but the Senate just inched forward with confirming Thomas Farr — dubbed by critics as the "Vote Suppressor In Chief" — to be a lifetime federal judge. https://t.co/XlgV3LKbHC

Because Sen. Tim Scott was the final Senate Republican to vote “yes” on forwarding Farr’s nomination, WaPo “conservative” Jennifer Rubin had this criticism for the S.C. senator:
what a fraud he is on civil rights
— Jennifer Rubin (@JRubinBlogger) November 28, 2018
That’s some scold for a phony conservative to make about an actual conservative:
Here we have a white woman telling a black man what he should think about civil rights. https://t.co/woxifvZ7Vh

And yet for some reason we’re not very surprised.

Tim Scott Is Just Another White Hood, by WaPo’s conservative

There is a fraud here, but it’s not @SenatorTimScott. pic.twitter.com/RltcllbNT5

Right?
I’d say what a fraud you have become, but I’m not sure you have not always really been this way.

Tim Scott has experienced more discrimination and knows about the struggle of being black more than the middle aged woman who sits on twitter all day and married into money

*YOU'RE* calling someone a fraud? LOL https://t.co/onvBGhHPd6

Hilarious, a liberal that claims she's a conservative calls someone else a fraud !!
Sad ! https://t.co/YpPN8n2J06— Angrymike ! (@nyjets427) November 28, 2018
And yet that doesn’t stop her from doing just that.
