Tim Scott is a regular guy. That means when the South Carolina senator and lackluster Republican presidential candidate is on the road, he likes to stop at Mickey D’s.
That’s short for McDonald’s, a great American institution that Scott definitely loves!
Here he is eating some french fries.
While Scott “spotted the Golden Arches,” people online spotted a real phony!
Amazing Irish restaurant

There is a troubling trend of milquetoast GOP presidential candidates pandering to the masses via staged stops at fast-food restaurants.
Earlier this year, Mike Pence stopped at a New Hampshire Dunkin’ Donuts, and posed for a pic in a seemingly empty store.
You are the saddest human ever.

But hey: at least that’s better than pretending to pump gas…
But back to Scott, who’s polling at 2.5% nationally. The anti-gay candidate is running an old school Republican campaign, focused on championing social conservatism and big business.
On Tuesday, Scott implied he would fire striking autoworkers.
No word on whether he made another trip to McDonald’s afterwards. So relatable!
As a senator, Scott has compiled a long anti-LGBTQ+ track record. He was one of 21 Senate Republicans who urged the GOP to oppose the Respect for Marriage act, and introduced legislation that would cut funding for elementary and middle schools that change a student’s pronouns without receiving consent from their parents.
In the past, he’s said homosexuality is “a morally wrong choice, just like adultery.”
This is who they’re selling as a reasonable Republican these days, by the way…
In recent weeks, Scott, who’s not married, has been dogged with questions about his dating life. He said over the weekend he’s dating a “lovely Christian girl.”
Maybe he can treat her to a Big Mac? You know, just like a regular American!
Compelling and brave!

LOL, almost as funny as Elizabeth Warren pretending she drinks beer like us regular folks.

As I said on another post, your head is firmly affixed up something and hasn’t seen daylight in years. Generally it’s very orange, a bigot and racist. Guess you just troll LGBTQ sites to show your stupidity.
abfab
Yet he still manages to breath. Remarkable.
maxdadmark
Is Elizabeth Warren running for something right now? You repugnicans are so confused. Remember when Bill Clinton ate Quarter Pounders on the campaign trail? Add this to your irrelevant thought process.
ShaverC
Bill Clinton probably did eat QPs all day long. And she pretended to drink beer, as well as pretended to be Native American, when campaigning. Why not call her out too, why just one sided?
still_onthemark
@Shaver: Warren DOES have Native American ancestry, proved by DNA testing, so why are you guys still kicking that dead horse?
ShaverC
onthemark, She’s allegedly 1/1024 Native American, and she used being “Native American” to get privileges.
abfab
And tell us what your secret is SHAVER. You know, your bloodlines.

The shy fella needs a boyfriend to eat with.

He has a…”girlfriend.”

Pig.

Mr. Blacks for KKK, how’s that imaginary gf of yours? You know your party would sooner kill you than elect you as their leader. Frigging idiot.
Well, in reality, they’d kill us LGBTQ people first then his race.
abfab
As he sits there like a lump eating ”food” that is literally a poison; encouraging those who live in ”food deserts” to eat this crap as he stuffs his face at McDonalds. Does this man realize how disgusting he looks?
And what are his ideas? Does he have an original thought? I doubt it. I won’t be studying this man’s bio………..this photo tells me all I need to know.
My2CentsWorth
Very true. He is too blind to reality to realize that his low rating is due in part to many not wanting to have a Black president. They still are smarting over the first – and last – Black president.

Tim Scott’s reaction to the striking UAW workers was that they should all be fired! – something that’s been illegal in this country since the 1930s. Unlike Trump, Scott doesn’t know how to pander to them while doing nothing for them.
guezwhoitis
My biggest question is: “Why does this particular type of black man think that being a conservative Republican will get him the respect and power he wants?” I want to know if the enslaved mentality or psychosis of wanting white masters approval and a seat at the table make it worth the ridicule and joke he is?
inbama
A closet case with no discernable talent, Scott has done well for himself standing in the shorter line.
But endorsing the firing of striking workers may have made him too toxic even as VP material for a party pretending to be for the working man.
abfab
Inbama. You should date him. The both of you are jokes. Buzz off.
Diplomat
He’s pure word salad and a bore. He won’t go anywhere.
abfab
Notice how similar the two of your are diplomat. We all do.

@abfab
I guess our two week vacation from your tacky insults is officially over.
Some of us thought you were dead.
Oh, well.
abfab
You’re a bore. And a right wing asshole. Be gone, bitch.
Diplomat
Abless is like an bunch of nats, hard to get rid of. That’s why no one talks to him/it. Where’s the bug spray?

I recall that the tangerine Palatine called him Tom Scott, instead of Tim Scott.
Is he going to keep running once he´s wiped out in the soon-upcoming SC primary? Losing big in his home state….
Scott´s value as a VP nominee escapes me also, he can´t deliver any state´s electoral college votes, nor any demographic category. What´s a fan of Clarence Thomas to do?
Well, it´s a free country and if he wants to make ignorant statements about labor relations and publish photos of himself looking ridiculous…that´s part of the First Amendment thing.
Kangol2
Did his “girlfriend” snap that photo? Did he enjoy displaying, er, eating those fries before he and “girlfriend” got in a few smooches?
abfab
Ew! Why did you have to bring THAT horrible thought up, Kangurl? oxox
My2CentsWorth
I find it hard for anyone of his position to be dating without someone with a phone or camera not taking a photo of them.
Maybe he will do like Rock Hudson (and maybe Madison Cawthorn) “hire” a girlfriend or a wife. To be seen going around with her, even if somewhat awkwardly, will convince some that he is a straight person. I would not be surprised to find out that he is not dating either because he lacks the confidence, personality, or EVEN sexual orientation, to get a lady. Maybe his far-right stand is the results of him not making with women or having to be in the closet.

Hello,
Scott, the Lt Gov. of NC and the former governor of SC plus many others who are trying to fit into the ultra-conservative world would be the first to be ejected. Haley was told to go back to her country. Not to South Carolina, which IS her country but to the country that her parents (or grandparents) came from. Or, to just leave the U. S. and go to anywhere.
