Sen. Tim Scott says people insinuate that he's gay because they 'can't say I'm Black'

I guess it is a variation on Clarence Thomas's use of the term "high tech lynching".

I have a girlfriend.

He's an embarrassing bobble head, and both black and gay communities should disown him.

As per Betty Bowers, RFK, Jr. believes you can be "ungayed". So, Tim can always talk to him about that process and those urges he may or may not have, transferred to some lucky Christian lady!

What the fuck is he saying????

No Tim, we insinuate that you're gay because you're gay.

Girl, please…

Obviously, not gay and obviously, not a black

Nope

[quote] He called speculation about his relationship from other campaigns a way to "sow seeds of doubt” about his presidential bid. “To say that, ‘That guy isn’t one of us,” Scott told The Post. “It’s like a different form of discrimination or bias,” Scott said. “You can’t say I’m Black, because that would be terrible, so find something else that you can attack.”

The article doesn’t say “people” in general. He said other campaigns were using it to sow seeds of doubt.

He has a girlfriend, her name is Alberta and she lives in Vancouver.

Then bring her out, Timmy!

Here she is.

During a questioning of a close Tim Scott campaign worker many months ago, a reporter asked about Tim Scott's love life. The campaign worker responded by saying, "It's nonexistent."

So please, don't tell us now in the middle of a busy presidential campaign that you all of a sudden have a girlfriend when you haven't had one for 40 years.

Don't admit you're gay (or straight, which is foolish too) if you want to stay in the closet, but don't lie about having a girlfriend. You sound ridiculous and desperate.

Gurl...

R15 lmao

Tim Scott girlfriend reveal! Her name is Mindy.

That makes him Mork.

Judging by the number of lanyards around her neck, she's some campaign or event worker and not his actual gf. Maybe she volunteered to have pictures taken with him. No confirmation?

Confirmation maybe.

Yikes, there is confirmation.

Timmy says: "We thankfully both love the Lord and have a healthy respect for one another." Gag.

Dear god, why? It's so unconvincing and he has no chance at the nomination anyway. Most of the replies to Politico reporting it on twitter are things like 'how much is she being paid?' 'what management/PR consultancy did they meet in'.

She's a man baby.

She's probably getting $$$$ from his donors

Aunt Jemima be lezbin?

Do any Black Republican pols have Black significant others?

He’s such a nelly. Mindy is kind of butch.

She's the political Debbie Rowe!

I've never heard this theory by any other Black person.

Mindy's interior design. A lot of white and beige.

R27 Every man needs a strong woman.

The fact that he had to "debut" a girlfriend at a GOP debate is both hilarious and horrifying.

I’m an interior designer just like Mindy! I have Pottery Barn, Restoration Hardware AND the Ballard’s catalogues on speed dial so I can pull together your perfect customized look. Sometimes I even mix it up with something from Frontgate. I can do everything, as long as it’s modern farmhouse!

'can't say I'm Black'

No? How about "swishy black ass" ?

The irony is that having a white girlfriend is going to hurt him with Republican voters more than not having one at all. Having a white girlfriend is a black Democrat thing, the GOP won’t countenance that.

Fail.

Why did it take him so many months to convince a woman to pose as his "smart, Christian" girlfriend? His campaign's almost over.

That weird gummy smile suggests mediocre cocksucking skills.

That white woman designed this all white room "where the kids can spread out and invite all their friends over!"

That's all I'm try'na say, brother.

Every single space she designs is the color of fettuccine alfredo.

R35

Almost over? Not even close.

Their real campaign has not even started yet. That one, the real one that means something, will start once trump picks him as VP for the ticket. So far he has done everything correctly if not perfectly to get that gig.

Smart people on DL have already called this one. The Happy Warrior and the Donald.

Can Tim pull votes away from the Dems? You bet your ass he can. How many is the only question,

The sistahs are not going to like that this fine specimen of a Black man is canoodling with a white woman.

SIstahs know he takes it up the ass, so they don't want to have anything to do with him.

B41

The black men out there don’t give a fig what you think about who they fuck or who they date.

[quote]The Happy Warrior and the Donald

I'm half convinced that R40 is Tim Scott himself, or if not, his campaign manager.

[quote] B41

Is that some new supplement Trump is peddling?

“Can’t say he’s black? I’m more pissed I can’t say he’s a n….”

He has zero chance of being Trump's running mate.

Lawd, that ol sissy black bottom has never touched a woman in his life. He's too busy wearing a mask and letting strangers come into his hotel room and then come into his pink asshole.

“It smells like ass in here!”

R44

No but I can place myself inside trumps campaign and think——what would I suggest trump do in order to win this election.

For me this is a clear no brainer. And I am proud to be so far out in front on this one. I could see Trump Scott as the perfect marriage from miles away.

It’s not only the smart move for trump it is the one he will make. Because above all trump wants to win. In terms of prison he has to win.

Only fools don’t try to figure out what the opposition will actually do . I look forward to the announcement.

Trump's MAGA base are all racists. No way will he pick a negro.

So DL fave Mindy Cohn is Timmy's secret girlfriend? Every gay boy needs their fag hag.

R51

Trump will love making you look (racist and ) foolish . He will pick Scott because it’s the one choice the progressive left swears he would never make. He will turn the bigot narrative on its head.

And please trump could take a crap on 5th ave and not lose his MAGA base as far as voting for him in 2024. He needs to do nothing to keep them.

Independents and non MAGA republicans and Dems tired of Biden and progressives—-this is what Scott is all about. Stealing votes.

Seriously this is the smart move for trump and the one he will make. I wish it were MTG or that bozo in colo but it’s going to be Scott.

And Scott will be a problem for the Dems.

We get one ride here and it's sad and pathetic to be in such fear and denial.

There's only one woman that can please Trump and I'm her R53!

[quote] The irony is that having a white girlfriend is going to hurt him with Republican voters more than not having one at all. Having a white girlfriend is a black Democrat thing, the GOP won’t countenance that.

Somewhat agree. Most high-profile Black Republicans are interracially coupled. Although racists don't like it, the other Republicans appreciate it as a sign that the Black repug exalts all things white. So, it can go either way. Although in Scott's case I don't think a white girlfriend would help his prospects.

The only Black person Trump might pick as VP is Kari Lake ;)

Trump won't trust Scott as far as he can throw him. It's going to be sweet when he doesn't pick Scott as VP. This shit isn't going to work, Tim, and I feel embarrassed for both him and the 'girlfriend'.

[quote]Tim Scott girlfriend reveal! Her name is Mindy.

Is there ANY republican woman with ANY sense of dignity?

Obviously, this clown learned nothing from Tuesday's election, but then ignorant religious zealots and ideologues are not known for being the sharpest or most perceptive knives in the drawer.

Fuck this pious, sanctimonious clown and fuck his new "girlfriend." Keep your deranged "god" out of the private lives of people who pay your salary.

And that goes for your equally deranged, equally closeted fuck buddy, Mike Johnson.

Aaron Schock introduced Tim to Mindy during a double-date they had. Aaron's girlfriend flew in from Europe for the night.

[quote]Independents and non MAGA republicans and Dems tired of Biden and progressives—-this is what Scott is all about. Stealing votes.

Biden and the Dems need to keep the focus 100% on abortion, and the Republicans will not “steal” any independent votes.

R61

Yes but…

“ I hate abortion and see abortion as murder but I do not favor a national ban on abortion. This is an issue best left up to the states as our founding fathers wanted when they wrote the constitution” wink wink

Watch, this is exactly what trump will have learned from Ohio. And his followers will also understand that a softer gentler message is needed if you want to win,

I fear Ohio might have benefited the gop even more than the Dems.

R62, well, Tim Scott supports a national 15 week ban, so Trump will not get away with “it’s a state issue” if he picks this closeted bible-thumper as a running mate.

[quote] I fear Ohio might have benefited the gop even more than the Dems.

I fear you are desperate to find a Republicans Always Win angle on every single issue.

[quote]I fear Ohio might have benefited the gop even more than the Dems.

You fear a lot of things, R62. And you overestimate the appeal that a low-charisma, unoriginal politician like Tim Scott—with very run-of-the-mill conservative ideas and talking points—has for the center and center-left in a political climate like the one we've been seeing for the last few years (including Tuesday night).

Mindy’s last name is Fresh.

Cheryl hates her already r66.

I think Mike Pence had an obvious appeal to (then, not now) uncertain evangelical voters as a white and genuinely straight, Christian man with a frumpy frau wife. I think the racist religious right are not going to buy Tim and this girlfriend. They look so mismatched - I think most people's gut feeling is going to be 'this is not convincing'.

R65

Think of Scott as a friendlier nicer darker but still very Christian version of Mike Pence. Without all that Jan 6 baggage,

He will not be on the ticket because he is a great thinker or that his statements will appeal to anyone, . He will not steal the light from Donald, and nice seems to be the operative word for him. No one thinks of trump as nice.

Trump needs the color and the nice and someone who will not steal the limelight. This is such a no brainer.

And here is the one thing the right wants to do——win. They do not give a shit about anything else except for wining, if you doubt that it’s because you don’t know them.

You really think the right sits around and debates this like the citizens of DL do? Nope it’s all about wining.

R69 You underestimate how racist and homophobic GOP voters are, I think.

[quote]Trump needs the color and the nice and someone who will not steal the limelight. This is such a no brainer.

Tim Scott's amiable innocuousness won't bring over any Democratic voters. Nobody's thinking they'll vote for Trump as long as his VP isn't too strident or too white.

And why do you keep misspelling "winning"?

Trump's big miscalculation with Mike Pence was to imagine that Evangelical voters gave a shit about actual Christian morality, things like divorce, and adultery, and lying, and stealing. They don't, not in politics, often not in their personal lives either, but definitely not in politics. They haven't for a long time, if ever. He was nervous that his own shitty life might turn off Evangelical voters, but it never, ever did, because again they don't give a fuck. They were looking for a messiah who would lead them to the promised land of getting rid of abortion rights (which they got, or well, they got step one) and get those faggots to shut up (which they didn't). And along with that they always like a white supremacist, which has always been a big part of that movement. And deep down, they were looking for a cult leader, somebody to transfer all that stupid Jesus blather onto, and they really got that. Pence was a nothing as it turned out, and his only value became his willingness to commit crimes and treasons for Trump, and as it turned out he wasn't willing to go all the way on that.

I'm not sure what Tim Scott brings to any of that calculation.

In the words of my great aunt, “Chileeee please”.

[QUote]I'm not sure what Tim Scott brings to any of that calculation.

Well said, and he brings pretty much nothing that I can see. Trump is probably better off choosing a VP who appeals to the educated suburbs because that's where the GOP are leaking votes.

"The sistahs are not going to like that this fine specimen of a Black man is canoodling with a white woman."

In this case they don't care. He's a Republican and most of him think he's gay. "They can have him" is the sistahs position.

straight men just get mad and start acting like cavemen when they're accused of being gay, the fact that he's making this dorky argument at all is proof that he's a QUEEAH

To me he’s just another one of these GOP freaks who I simply don’t understand how anyone can vote for- he is a complete intellectual lunatic fruitcake- like many of them he simply babbles about things that simply are not true or have no relevance to reality. I’m stunned watching these nuts being taken seriously as potential POTUS. It’s incredibly discouraging and depressing.

Agreed, Charlie.

The other day, that other head case, Mike Johnson, said God speaks directly through him.

No one, absolutely no one, challenged what this maniac said.

If God speaks directly to any man, it sure as hell won't be some craven whore/2 bit politician weaselly pervert from Louisiana willing to lie to advance the cause of a huge dirtball scumbag like Donald Trump.

No way in Hell will donald choose a Black running mate.

Orange It knows the years are catching up with him and, should he croak during his presidency, he does not want his legacy in part as having been responsible for the first Black president. (President Obama is biracial).

Knowing donald, he's probably trying to find a way to run solo without a running mate.

R79

“ his legacy”

Trump has been on the scene for decades and you take on him after all these decades of watching his actions is ——a man worried about what future people will think of him.

Seriously?

He wants his legacy to be——“a potus that never went to prison and a man that died rich.”

So cute you think he is worried about what people think of him

You know Dump has conversations with people like Steve Bannon--"So who should I pick for VP, the ni**er fag or that crazy cunt from Arizona? That Marge woman is too batshit crazy and ugly as fuck. You'd have to put ten bags over her head to fuck her. That Boebert chick is kind of hot and has big tits, but they just said she's a grandmother. Can you believe that?"

Why doesn't he just say that he was born without a libido and leave it at that?

R82 In Republican world, man dates woman.

I wouldn't be too surprised if Trump picks RFK, Jr.

R80: Sharpen your reading comprehension skills before challenging others' comments.

You don't know me, cunty; what gives you the right to second guess me? My $1.99 opinion expressed here is no more or less than your own.

Fuck you and the troll troika you rode in on. Don't bother to respond; you're a new fixture in my Ignore file.

Bitch.

No you dumbass, people insinuate you're gay because you have the smell of cock on your breath.

Hey Timmy...you're black--and gay!!

[quote]He wants his legacy to be——“a potus that never went to prison and a man that died rich.”

Oh, dear! Twice in one sentence, r80?

He sho is ugly!

Op, where’s the link?

And in other news it’s been determined that at DL a forum primarily for gay men it’s thought that 78% of people deemed to be bad in some way are thought to be gay.

Some Researchers think that 78% is a far to low a percent based on DL posts.

This closeted fool has zero chance of ever being considered by tRump.

He will quickly and thankfully be forgotten.

Trump, choose a Latino, a huge group that has been abandoned by the Dems in favor of total kowtowing to the black demands.

[quote] Trump, choose a Latino

Trump has one Latino in mind.

[quote]Trump, choose a Latino,

Two obvious candidates are Ted Cruz (LOL) and Marco Rubio (likely another closet gay). Aaaaaand....... George Santos!

Gummy Bottom

It's Charlie Crist all over again. Anyone remember that?

Trump was talking up testicle tanning proponent Tucker Carlson the other day as a potential VP pick.

That cunt Tucker Carlson would be extremely popular with MAGAts. *shiver*

R99

Every sane person out there should hope trump is dumb enough to pick a Carlson, a MTG, or some other fire breathing hard right MAGA type. But they could not be that stupid.

I don’t believe it will be someone trump talks up a lot or teases about to his base IMO it’s going to be a trump style move that will be attention getting.

Haley would be IMO a perfect choice but she is the one I think would say no. She has a bright political future. Why would she trust Donald with it.

If only trump were as predictable as soma here seem to think he is,

R93, most Latinos voted for Biden

How is Trump helping Latinos? By calling Mexicans rapists and threatening a war with them?

Maybe he’s asexual?

R101, picking a Latino - or someone Black - isn’t about winning a demographic. It’s about making inroads on a Democratic constituency.

Who's a Latino Republican who, as VP candidate, could make inroads among Democratic voters without alienating MAGA voters because of a soft stance toward social issues, immigration, etc.? A rightwinger like Marco Rubio or Mario Diaz-Balart wouldn't pull away any substantial votes from the center.

^ In a close election, even small inroads among traditional Democratic constituencies can make the difference. Conversely, inroads among white suburban moms was the difference maker in ‘20. And could continue to be dispositive in ‘24.

Yeah, but give some examples of Latino politicians that would make those small (but big enough) inroads as Trump's VP candidate. Who would flip PA and MI, for example. Who would be rightwing enough not to depress the MAGA vote, without turning off too many Democratic-leaning centrists. Or are you saying enough Democratic-leaning centrists could be reconciled to Trump merely by his VP candidate's being Latino?

Why do people think Dump would have any kind of strategy when it comes to choosing a VP? He's clearly decompensating and having addled moments and saying crazy nonsensical shit (even more than usual). It's like when he got on the stand and all of the pundits were saying he had a strategy to provoke the judge. Umm, no. He is reactive and lizard brained. He could just throw a fit over who he wants as VP, despite what he's being advised to do.

I bet he does a reality show. 10 contestants, balanced by race and gender. Each week, one is voted off! Who will be America's Next Vice President?!

Trump's VP choice will be another Mike Pence. i.e. someone who won't steal the limelight from DJT. Trump's ego won't let him share the ticket with a potential rival or someone who would steal Trump's thunder.

And yes, Trump is that desperately insecure and needy.

He's the typical greedy black stooge who thinks he can suck off the white money men while maintaining his person-of-color specialness.

No, fool. You are their house servant.

As with Clarice Thomas and every other GOP-ridden African American "leader."

Unfortunately, it's not the same with GOP Hispanics, who reject the idea of democracy, groove on Soviet-type strong men, and are corrupt in more complex ways.

He's a chocolate-coated Lindsey Graham.

He and Tyler Perry can compete for the title of the Chocolate Bachelorette.

Tim Scott has dropped out! The better to campaign for the VP slot.

How quickly until the glory hole is utilized again?

Draft announcement:

After days of prayer just me and my beloved lady friend, god has spoken to us

Trump 2024 ——It’s time to save America

An interesting insight from a CNN talking head as to why Scott’s. Campaign never took off despite many insiders in the gop thinking it would

A close quote——There is no appetite for a nice happy upbeat warrior in todays Republican Party. That is why Trump is running away with this.

R116 Don't forget that he's a fraud running as a super socially conservative Christian, which puts you in a very restrictive box. Even a lot of Trump supporters don't buy into that 1950s model in their own lives. If I were him I would have said that President James Buchanan wasn't married and that you don't need to be married. Be confident in yourself.

Instead the unconvincing gf unleashed swathes of people joking about it and made people more aware of that he's hiding something. The SNL skit played on how awkward and unnatural he is 'I have a girlfriend, she's real, I have warm and human love for her' - it was pretty funny.

Well, maybe don't compare yourself to Buchanan since people may use some of his policies as ammo but you get the idea, it's not necessary to be married to do a good job.

America knows a good closet case when it sees one.

This tracks for a black closeted gay man who signed up for the political party that hates black and gay people. You’d have to find a black lesbian Republican to find someone more self-loathing and pathetic.

[quote]You’d have to find a black lesbian Republican to find someone more self-loathing and pathetic.

Cue the Condi Rice Troll.

There is no way Trump picks a gay black man as his VP. He definitely uses the F and N words on the regular, as do most of his supporters.

I’m sure he’s planning to pick some token white woman who doesn’t mind being sexually harassed by an 80 year old orange lard ass.

Reading the AP News story, it sounds like most of his donors/backers will be moving to supporting Haley now.

The story also says that Scott won't be endorsing anyone and appeared to rule out wanting to be VP:

[QUOTE]Scott said he wouldn’t immediately be endorsing any of his remaining Republican rivals. “The voters are really smart,” Scott said. “The best way for me to be helpful is to not weigh in on who they should endorse.” He also appeared to rule out serving as vice president, saying the No. 2 slot “has never been on my to-do list for this campaign, and it’s certainly not there now.”

Tim Scott is black.

Maybe he can feel free to come out now!

Hey, Tim:

R123

You thought I don’t have VP on my current to do list to be the same as I will not accept the offer of VP under any conditions.

Saying it’s currently not on my to do list is almost the same as begging for the job. Besides he would be absolutely insane to openly say he wanted the vp offer.

Now that Tim Scott has dropped out, my money's on Asa Hutchinson!

My wet dream team for 2024: Mike Johnson for President/Tim Scott for VP.

Two 100% real men running. Now that's the ticket.

R127 Or he knows that Trump is not going to give him it. You keep forgetting that Tim voted to certify Biden's election win when Trump believes that the election was stolen. Give it up hun, he's not going to be picked.

[quote] Tim voted to certify Biden's election

He was very disloyal!
