'I, uh, I, look I — I didn't do the tweets, Chuck. I can't talk about why he did what he did,' Rick Scott told Meet the Press Sunday.

Florida Senator Rick Scott joined several top Republicans Sunday in defending President Donald Trump's divisive tweets directed at Baltimore and Congressman Elijah Cummings, saying he was more"disappointed" in the Maryland Democrat, claiming that Cummings"attacked Border Patrol."

Todd pressed Scott, who is on the Senate Homeland Security Committee, pointing out that"multiple times this month alone" Trump had used"racial resentment tweets" to stir division across America. He added:"I'm very disappointed in the people like Congressman Cummings, who is attacking Border Patrol agents that are trying to do their job when the Democrats won't give them the resources to do it. They won't secure the border. They won't fix the asylum laws. And then Democrats want to sit there and say, 'Oh, those Border Patrol agents don't care.'"
