Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., used his 45-second closing arguments during Wednesday night’s Republican presidential debate to take a shot at trans women participating in women’s sports.
The GOP presidential candidate brought up things his mother instilled in him when he was younger, and it eventually led to his final point that received some cheers from the crowd.
"If you’re able-bodied in America, you work. If you take out a loan, you pay it back. If you commit a violent crime, you got to jail. And if God made you a man, you play sports against men," Scott said.
If you’re able-bodied, you work.

If you take out a loan, you pay it back.
If you commit a violent crime, you go to jail.
And if you’re a man, you should play sports against men.
As president, I will protect our American values.#GOPDebateMKE pic.twitter.com/1hMrd5nX9P
