I cannot believe he allowed himself .. Tim Scott

[madashelltoo]

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.

1. WTF?

[TexasTowelie]

2. You might want to name the person you are referring to. nt

[LuckyLib]

3. Pitiful. Not a rebuttal, just Repub BS.

[Turbineguy]

4. He's switched to

Christianity is the last refuge of a scoundrel.

[Bucky]

13. Republicans trying to politicize Christianity used to bother me

...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.

15. My version for a long time now is:

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

[Turbineguy]

17. Very adroit!

[Ocelot II]

5. I think he drew the short straw, or else

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.

8. For years when corporations were interviewed on 60 Minutes,

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

6. I'm sure the Republican leadership picked him

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.

[Bucky]

14. I think it's a shame DUers assume Tim Scott was chosen because he was black

... rather than recognizing that he earned his position by being a fucking moron on his own merit.

[Lisa0825]

7. I assume you are referring to Sen Tim Scott's GOP rebuttal?

Some may not realize that.

[Generic Brad]

9. He who cannot be named?

Not because he’s evil. Because no one knows who the hell he is.

[madashelltoo]

10. I was so pissed

I forgot his damned name.

[JHB]

11. They needed a black guy for "We're not racist" performance-art purposes...

...and Michael Steele is persona non grata for being a NeverTrumper

[uponit7771]

16. +1,

[GoodRaisin]

12. They are amazing. They lie with impunity. Every one of them

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.
