I cannot believe he allowed himself .. Tim Scott

To be used to deliver that nonsense! The Repigs have to be scared to death. That’s the ONLY reason he was chosen to deliver this rah rah, oh how wonderful the past four years were under Repig rule. I am honestly sick to my stomach listening to these lies. We, my ass.

...until Donald Trump showed me what the alternative was. I know all the agnostics and humanists on DU like to talk about how shallow Christian ethics must be if they have to be threatened with Hell in order to behave properly.

But, dude, after January 6th, I can see why they need the threats.

They say patriotism is the last refuge of the scoundrel, but religion seems to be the first.

the GOPers figured they might as well sacrifice the Black guy - kind of like in the adventure movies where there's one Black secondary character - you know he's probably doomed.

they would have a woman as the spokesperson. Trotting out the women when the heat was on. This seems similar to me.

because they thought it would prove they're not racist. It's a pity Scott let himself be used and doesn't speak well of him.

have no shame. They don't even try to hide it anymore.

What a waste of America's time to broadcast that pablum over the air.
