Tim Scott’s full speech:
Two ideas come to thoughts. First, ought to this man even be within the Senate? 9.99% of People have by no means considered Tim Scott earlier than, and that is the impression that he voluntarily despatched to the nation. Secondly, Tim Scott ought to be thanking the Writers Guild for being on strike proper now as a result of in any other case, he can be torched by each late-night speak present, comic, and sketch present on tv.
Scott tried to work the evangelical angle, however he got here off as an over-the-top parody.
There have been dangerous presidential marketing campaign launches. Donald Trump was mocked for the escalator experience, however that what instantly forgotten when he referred to as Mexican immigrants rapists. Candidates are sometimes clunky and awkward as a result of they’re stepping onto the most important nationwide stage.
Sen. Scott took cringeworthy weirdness to a complete different place.
The excellent news for Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) is that the bar is admittedly low when he pronounces his presidential marketing campaign this week. So long as anyone can program Robotic Ron to duplicate human habits, he’ll appear like Ronald Reagan on the marketing campaign path subsequent to Tim Scott.
If that is what the 2024 Republican major marketing campaign goes to appear like, buckle up for a complete lot of weirdness.
