South Carolina Senator Tim Scott, 57, discovered last night that even though he’s abandoned his own White House ambitions and endorsed Donald Trump, the former President might still make fun of him.
Scott appeared alongside Trump, Vivek Ramaswamy, and Doug Burgum at a campaign rally in New Hampshire. The state holds its primary today.
On Sunday, Scott surprised many by announcing his engagement. He posted photos of himself and his fiancée, Mindy Noce, to X.
Politics, but make it gay!
Stay woke with our briefing while staying informed on all things LGBTQ+ entertainment, life, and more!
She said YES.

Mindy, thank you for making me the luckiest man in the world.

At last night’s rally, Trump introduced Scott to the podium by saying, “Everybody knows him and today was a big story — the biggest story out there. He’s engaged to be married. We never thought this was going to happen, what’s going on?”

Tim Scott and his fiancée
Despite his record of voting against LGBTQ+ rights, rumors about Scott’s sexuality have been swirling for some time. This intensified during his bid to become the Republican nominee for President last year. It seems to stem—baselessly—from the fact that he has never married.
Just because a man has never wed a woman, it doesn’t, of course, mean he’s gay. However, Scott felt moved to address speculation about his private life. He told reporters last September he was dating “a lovely Christian girl.” Nonce was first spotted when she joined Scott on stage at a Presidential debate in November.
Scott told the Washington Post this week, “As a guy who is mostly an introvert and on the quiet side, having to have a conversation about the engagement is a little, you know, uncomfortable in a way, but it’s the most exciting thing I’ll do with my life besides making Jesus my Lord.”
He said he and Nonce met in church a year ago and bonded during a Bible study class. Scott got down on one knee at South Carolina’s Kiawah Island.
“I couldn’t be more thankful for having found a soul mate and someone who shares a lot of the same interests, passions and goals that I do,” he said.
Scott’s engagement provokes mixed response online
Scott’s engagement announcement was brutally mocked by many online. Many suggested Scott wishes to be considered for Trump’s pick as Vice President, and the timing of the engagement was not a coincidence.
Others even suggested it was not even a true marriage based on love.
Just you two in the middle of nowhere with a photographer. 👍🏼

Never in my life have I seen a woman keep her hands in her pocket mid proposal.

Many also had opinions on Trump’s belittling acknowledgement, when a simple “Congratulations” would have sufficed.
Scott kisses the ring, hypes up the crowd, and Trump still makes him the punchline. One day they'll learn.

Tim Scott endorsed Donald Trump during a speech alongside him in Concord, NH, last Friday.
“We need a president who will unite our country. We need Donald Trump,” Scott said. “We need a president who will protect your Social Security and my mama’s Social Security. We need Donald Trump.”

This deluded Uncle Tom thinks he’s gonna be VP. Lol Hating the same people, posting what a good Christian you are, and getting engaged might get you some ground but the MAGA movement is racist at it’s very core.
I’ve been around them long enough to know. Family, acquaintances, etc. They never disappoint.

@Chrisk
If you are unfortunately going to use racist language to denigrate someone, at least get your racism correct.
Within the world of Harriet Beecher Stowe’s Uncle Tom’s Cabin, Tom is presented as more than a Black hero—he is presented as a hero transcending race.

Baron knows rascism. Pay attention class.

I’ll listen Baron Von Dipshit cuz no one knows what being an Uncle Tom is better then you do. Personal experience and all.

Oh Baron dear. there you are. We missed you at all the stories of. hot naked men. was it too much for such an intel troll as yourself to look upon happy gay men. The world knows what a racist pos trump is. He and Fred paid millions in fines for violating federal anti discrimination housing laws over and over. with the childish system that easily proved. what they were doing. HE. wont give Scott anything to do except be there to be a scapegoat whenever needed. But you try to stand there and call us racist you ignorant child. Anyone with half a brain and I am sorry if you missed the cutoff knows which party is racist and it doesnt start with a D

Oh Baron that may be what his character is in the novel but in society it has become known as a sell out black person to the white supremists so dont even try you little worm dear dear baoron ( baron is a royal moron)

@Chrisk
Thank you, Chrisk.
I like to think I transcend race just like Uncle Tom. Sorry you are unaware of classical American literature and instead assigning racist, derogatory names to actual literary heros.
ZzBomb
Something about this whole engagement certainly feels off. Like calculated more than romantically connected. B/c it was clear during his shot at the primaries, he knew less about women much less how to please one than I do as a platinum gay.
My2CentsWorth
You are correct. To me, the issue is not his sexuality but what he stands for. I wonder if the marriage will last longer than Madison Cawthorn’s marriage. If what I read is true, Madison and his lived with cousin were on the full wedding vacation and his bride returned to the U. S. early.

And a professional photographer just happened to be passing by on the beach…
I hope she’s well paid!

He wants to be the POSs new apprentice. ^^^ That look on his face, listening so intently to The Man. Trying hard to gain some of that wisdom.
Mister P
No one should ever believe a republican who says he or any other republican is going to protect Social Security.
Lowering taxes on the rich so they can create jobs is another lie.
Baron Wiseman
@ Mister P
Because the poor create so many jobs? How many poor people have you worked for? Those poor people always passing out checks!

barryaksarben
yes the maga mantra – the poor should starve todeth because they dont create jobs while the tax breaks which were passed so that so many many jobs would be created and then surprise they funded stock buybacks so no jobs created at all. Yes it is just part of the beyond. moronic trickle down theory but being a child our dear baron believes that nonsense

Recieves favors from the lord? Another bullshit artist. Creepy mutha fuker.

One might ask that if the Christian religion is true why does he allow so many horrible people to drag him into their lies and schemes?
Hi
The ‘tolerant’ left showing themselves in the comment section again.
Not surprised by the nasty hate. The sad part is the hypocrisy. All day proving the other side is the one full of hate, though it’s their own hate and intolerance they’re projecting. The comments prove that.
GlobeTrotter
I think you’re misunderstand our reaction. We’re not full of hate for the man, but for his obvious hypocrisy.
Kangol2
Oh queen, can it! Don the Con insulted Tim Scott, to his face, as Scott stands there cheesing. Talk about cringe and pathetic. Maybe criticize Don the Con for a change and we’ll take you seriously.
ZzBomb
Yeah b/c we call for the death of our political opponents!?
Sure, Jan.
Hi
Kangol2.
And Kamala Harris called Joe Biden a racist. And she’s his VP.
What’s your point?
They can’t stand each other. Jill Biden and Kamala Harris hate one another. Show me one organic photo of them together.
abfab
Organic photo? How healthy. Will something photoshopped work for you or would you prefer something from our AI Collection?
Ilive10s
It takes a keen intellect to recognize sarcasm as a form of protest. Some of the comments made me chuckle, some not so much. Making comments on a Website and using your political position to vote against another’s rights are not comparable. Also it is difficult to find empathy for a member of Congress who was present Jan 6 and is now supporting the former president who lead that charge; was found guilty of sexual assault; and brags about denying women freedom to reproductive healthcare.
abfab
The POS can’t stand blacks, or browns or yellows or reds or women or homos. The list is long..why does this black closet case thinks he stands a chance. It must be a republican thing the trolls here can relate to and explain to to us. But please don’t, we’ve heard all of your bullshit before.
FYI Hi…we ”tolerate” you, we just don’t accept you.
Bosch
Yeah, mean comments are way worse than racism, homophobia, stripping women of their rights, actual neo-nazi’s, sabotaging the democratic process, supporting a narcissist who spreads his legs for Putin…

“And Kamala Harris called Joe Biden a racist. ”
While you may not be surprised by the “nasty hate” in your imagination (as that is essentially where it is: as a reaction TO the hatred and bullshit that flows like a poisoned spring from the right is reasonable and proper). WE (most people) are not surprised by the lies that you folks tell as easily as you breathe. Harris never called Biden a racist. She referred to his actions in the past and prefaced it specifically by saying she did not think him a racist.
What the hell is wrong with you people?
Do you enjoy being seen as stupid?
Den
“Show me one organic photo of them together.”
Do you somehow believe that dragging a photographer to a remote beach for a stilted and posed proposal is somehow “organic”?
Do you think stiff and posed media images of Trump and Pence were somehow “organic”?
Do you think any politician followed by photographers and groomed by handlers usually brighter and more media canny than they are (especially in the case of disingenuous right wingers who take pains to their actual natures) has “organic” photographs? Do you even know what your question means?
dbmcvey
I love it when conservatives go on about “tolerance” because they don’t actually care about it at all.
Kangol2
Thanks, Den. “Hi” is a low-information FoxNews voters and heard that “Kamala Harris called Joe Biden a racist” so he’s going to repeat it over and over. He also doesn’t understand the difference between campaign rhetoric, in which opponents in the same party level accusations at each other, and spontaneous commentary, like Don the Con’s, which offer a glimpse at what he’s really thinking, which is “What is going on?” i.e., he thinks that marriage is absurd and a sham.
But hey, Ronbo attacked me by essentially saying no gay men supported Don the Con, when, as we’ve seen more than once now, Hi, Baronin, and others are MAGAs to their core. Baronin was even trying to say that Don the Con’s January 6, 2021 failed attempted coup was a set-up; you can’t be any further gone as a MAGA Don the Con supporter than that!

The tapes of that morning rally on Jan 6th have already been rearranged by the GOPs subscriptions to various Artificial Intellegnence Apps. And if you look closely, Sharon inserted herself into the crowd.
barryaksarben
HI Baron. Love that you finally figured out how to have more than one screen name. The hate. you seem to feel is from the right and trump is their pusher. I love how they think when one of us responds they immediately use the bullies stupid response of you said mean things while the right passes mean laws which we do NOT do. we dont demand women give up their bodies to the state, we do not try to take votes AWAY from Americans. you do and you dont stop even with the repeal of roe you are now wanting a complete ban and even want to stop all contraceptives. no dem is pushing our beliefs like you do. Ohio is the perfect example – the voters there have now voted 3 times to keep abortion available. yet the gop led state gov is now trying yet another underhanded way to ban it ignoring the vast majority of their own voters
Fahd
Sometimes your crazy uncle from Florida’s reaction is so authentic and on point that you can’t dismiss it. I too asked, “What is going on?”
Scott is not the right VP choice for the guy’s base, so I hope they don’t rush into anything (they won’t).
What’s next, Aaron Rodgers gets a new girlfriend? Ryan Seacrest weds (a woman)? lol
Kangol2
Exactly! Don the Con just blurted it out. Can’t get more authentic than that!
Sister Bertha Bedderthanyu
By endorsing Trump he is sure to get a cabinet position but definitely not the VP slot because that has already been offered to Desantis for those of you who haven’t figured that out. If he doesn’t get a cabinet position then it means that Trump has something on him just like he no doubt has on Lindsay Graham and will throw him out there front and center every time there is some sort of racial uprising. I’ll bet whatever it is will make what happened to Gillum pale in comparison and I’ll bet it involves a white twink.
still_onthemark
Trump choose DeSantis for a running mate? That’s never gonna happen. I’m guessing the mindless parrot Stefanik.
Mack
Trump’s running mate has to be someone who will kiss his ass and break any laws that Trump tells him too. The Tallahassee Mussolini thinks he’s too much of an alpha to be Trump’s beta. You can’t have two bitches on the same ticket.
abfab
Tukkker and Baron Hannity would love this gig. We can have 2 bitches for the price of one.
barryaksarben
HE will not get a cabinet post because Trump is a racist pos. the only way he does is if trump plans on dismantling whatever post he appoints him to. Trump hates being in the same room as a poc. I predict he will be like Christie. last time – strung along and strung along and then totally dropped
abfab
Ya gotta hand it to Chrissee….at least he had the balls to splay himself out on a New Jersey beach on a swealtering day. POS wouldn’t be caught dead on a beach–the seagull popualtion would start picking at him.
RGL
Remember The 40 Year Old Virgin? Everyone I’d like to introduce the 58 Year Old Virgin (at least insofar as women are concerned). Trump is already snickering under his breath and making allusions. If Scott is gay, a big so what for me. It’s his brazen hypocrisy that hits it.
barryaksarben
I think trump will pick Stefanie or kari lake as vp and they will disappear form history except to be a scapegoat when needed. being scapegoats is all trump wants form any of them. they arent him so he does not respect them and how could he when they sell themselves so cheaply
abfab
That’s right, Barry. He will pick those lovely tramps using his usual lady catching moves……….. grabbing them by the pu ss y after he goes in to kiss them on the mouth which is the grossest picture imaginable. Save for the picture of cranzeetranzee and Sharon making out at Mara Largo.
dbmcvey
They’ll all endorse Trump in the end, except Chris Christy.
And Tim Scott is engaged to a lovely Christian girl who lives in Canada.
barryaksarben
lol. exactly. and trump will make fun of him even when he is in the room. the. gay jokes will flow esp when he is around and Scott will take it like the soulless stooge like the rest. they seem themselves so cheaply
