High-profile Black conservatives are usually cartoonishly obnoxious—Candace Owens and Jason Whitlock, for instance—however GOP Sen. Tim Scott simply is likely to be the goofiest of all of them.
To make certain, he’s not fairly close to the extent of wannabe-white nationalist absurdity that Owens and Whitlock dwell on, however in the case of taking part in the position of feckless, groveling MAGA stooge, Scott usually seems to be an all-too-eager technique actor—and it’s at all times fairly cringe-worthy.
Scott, who dropped out of the GOP presidential race in November and endorsed frontrunner Donald Trump final Friday, joined his MAGA massa’ on stage as he celebrated his landslide win over Nikki Haley within the New Hampshire major.
As typical, making Trump make sense takes some effort, so right here’s a fast rundown of no matter he was speaking to Scott about by way of HuffPost:
In 2012, when she was governor of South Carolina, Haley appointed Scott, then a member of the Home of Representatives, to his Senate seat to switch retiring Sen. Jim DeMint.
“Did you ever assume that she truly appointed you, Tim?” Trump mentioned of Haley throughout his speech. “And also you’re the senator of her state. And [you] endorsed me.”
“You should actually hate her,” he added.
Scott, who had been standing behind Trump, approached the mic and mentioned: “I simply love you.”
“That’s why he’s an amazing politician!” Trump mentioned.
Scott is likely to be attempting to outdo MMA fighter Colby Covington in expressing his deeply private affection for Trump. There’s simply no cause to gush over a fellow politician like this.
The positive of us on X had been additionally delay by Scott’s shameless show of his orangey man-crush.
Nah, however significantly—I’m going to wish Scott to cease taking a look at Trump like Nala checked out Simba in the course of the “Can You Really feel the Love Tonight” montage from The Lion King. He seems like any person needed to discuss him out of bringing a set of pom-poms on stage with him. Tim Scott desires to be Harley Quinn to Trump’s Joker so dangerous.
It might be embarrassing if MAGA conservatives had been really able to disgrace. However alas…
