Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) introduced Wednesday that he’s—*yawn*—planning to run for president.
Scott Tweeted that he—*rubs eyes*—“won’t ever again down in protection of the conservative values that make America distinctive,” as a result of, for no matter motive, Republicans assume preserving America the very same America that it’s at all times been is one thing revolutionary sufficient to be worthy of a food regimen Braveheart speech (they usually’re soooo boring).
“That’s why I’m saying my exploratory committee for President of the US,” Scott continued. “This struggle is private. I would like each American to have the identical alternatives I had.”
I suppose if I squint actually exhausting, I can sort of, form of (however not likely) see Scott getting someplace within the neighborhood of being the Republican frontrunner for the U.S. presidency. He has all the suitable {qualifications} that non-kin people pores and skin people must succeed as honorary white nationalists within the GOP. He famously declared that “America will not be a racist nation,” regardless of all of the statistical proof on the contrary. And, regardless of being a die-hard believer in post-racial America, he additionally pretends Republicans are being handled the way in which he pretends Black persons are solely pretending to be handled. (It’s like Inception, however with Black conservatives whose sunken place has a sunken place.)
Nonetheless, one can learn a whole novel stuffed with software program phrases and agreements content material and nonetheless discover 9 issues extra attention-grabbing than Scott’s bid for the presidency. The person is boring. He’s not as cartoonishly obnoxious as Jason Whitlock or Candace Owens. He doesn’t fairly converse MAGA’s love language of anti-intellectualism the way in which Herschel Walker did. Tim Scott is principally a variant of Ben Carson who can maintain his eyelids up for greater than three seconds at a time (not like me each time I’m writing about Tim Scott).
So, now that Scott is the newest contestant on The Presidency is Proper (Wing), a number of people appear to be predicting he’ll be a part of fellow South Carolina Republican Nikki Haley and the others in trailing within the polls far behind Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis who’s trailing far behind former commander-in-legal-election-beef Donald Trump, who, by the way in which, Scott stated he would help in 2024 final June.
Others famous that the man who doesn’t assume America is racist launched his marketing campaign advert from Fort Sumter on the anniversary of the day Confederates took it over and fired the primary pictures of the Civil Struggle.
Others identified a video that reveals Scott’s personal fellow Republicans participating within the proud American custom of leaving a Black man hanging.
Anyway—*vigorously splashes water on face*—good luck to Tim Scott. I’m certain if every part works out along with his exploratory committee he’ll run an thrilling camp…
Sorry—fell asleep.
