It’s no one’s business whether or not the South Carolina senator and GOP presidential candidate has a romantic partner—especially given the party’s leader is Donald Trump.
for sexually abusing a woman. His lack of “family values” does not seem to be an issue for Republican voters, donors, and conservative media—yet Scott’s much more minor deviations from conservative expectations are? Seriously?respect for the institution of marriage by not choosing to get hastily married just for the sake of it and then ending up divorced or cheating.
The senator has also fully embraced conservative values when it comes to social issues, on everything from abortion to school choice. If a candidate fully endorses the “family values” agenda, why does it matter if they have a family themselves or not? After all, Republicans accept that a candidate can support the troops even if they never personally served in the armed forces.
The only thing that should matter is who can do the best job. And that may or may not be Tim Scott—but whether he has a wife or not is utterly immaterial. Let’s be real here—at least part of this backlash is rooted in good old fashioned homophobia, which is having something of a renaissance on the Right these days. Rumors regularly swirl around Washington about “confirmed bachelor” members of Congress, but, again, it doesn’t matter. By all accounts, Scott is simply a workaholic who has prioritized his career over starting a family. He isn’t a “confirmed bachelor.” He’s just a bachelor.
In a time when it’s clear the Republican Party’s base remains enthralled by the toxic charm of Donald Trump, Scott’s candidacy is a throwback to the seriousness and credibility the GOP left behind in 2015. No wonder some people are stretching so hard to try to take him down.
