Sen. Tim Scott stumping for Herschel Walker

The last time we checked in with Republican Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina, he was fundraising on of the profoundly unscientific claim that Democratic officials wanted to “grant abortions up to 52 weeks.” Many of you will know from grade school that there are 52 weeks in a calendar year. Many of you will know from fifth or sixth-grade health class that human pregnancies, on average, last about 38-42 weeks.*

Guess who is back with fundraising misinformation about the Democratic Party? Mr. Tim Scott! HuffPost reports that during the first week of December, coming off a particularly gnarly set of midterm election disappointments for the Republican Party, Sen. Scott is fundraising on the claim that “Your heat will be turned off. Emergency Notice.” Now, is the Republican Senator from South Carolina saying liberals are going to turn off your heat?

No. That’s just the subject line of his team’s fundraising email.

*Fun fact: The longest pregnancy on record happened in 1945 when Beulah Hunter (25) gave birth to daughter Penny Diana in Los Angeles after a reported 375-day pregnancy. However, while Hunter’s doctor, Daniel Beltz, supported the claim, he did admit that Mrs. Hunter could have had a miscarriage and second pregnancy resulting in the seeming record-setting length of gestation.
