If you come for Sen. Tim Scott, it’s best to check Wikipedia — at the very least — first.
It all started with this tweet from Alyssa Milano asking her followers to watch the ongoing debate on the GOP tax bill:
I'd like to encourage everyone to turn watch this with me NOW: https://t.co/QYBThPWckQ
— Alyssa Milano (@Alyssa_Milano) December 1, 2017
Which was followed by this stupid take:
watching…..Senator Tim Scott "$100 a month is real money" to struggling families ? Is he F**KING kidding ? HOW MUCH does $100 buy in this day ? Costs me $50 to fill my f**king gas tank FFS

So, in terms of this Twitter user, the tax cut will cover two tanks of gas per month? Sign. Us. Up.
Now, here’s where writer/producer/author Melissa Joe Peltier comes into play:
@SenatorTimScott – are you serious? When was the last time you spent time w/a “struggling family”?
— Melissa Jo Peltier (@MelissaJPeltier) December 1, 2017
And here’s Sen. Tim Scott with the TRUTH-CRUSH:
You mean…besides growing up in a poor single parent household where we had to use the oven to heat the house? Or when we couldn't afford Christmas presents? Or when I owned 4 shirts total? https://t.co/5NqQhQrqIT
— Tim Scott (@SenatorTimScott) December 1, 2017
Followed by this a few minutes later:
I grew up in a single-parent household, w/ a mom who worked 16 hours a day I know what it feels like to live paycheck to paycheck. I know what it feels like when you’re hopeless. I can relate, and I feel your pain. I see you. We see you. #TaxReform
