Remember this as Tim Scott delivers the response to President Biden.
Tim Scott is nothing but an opportunist. He desperately wanted to be in politics and he didn’t care which side he was on. He believes in nothing. He’s a hired stooge.
He visited the local Democratic Party headquarters to tell them he was interested in running for [an open Charleston City Council seat]. "They told me to get in line," Scott laughs. He went straight to the GOP headquarters. "They said, 'You probably won't win, but heck we'd love to see you run.'" And just like that, Scott was a Republican.

3. But this part tells you all you need to know
He was volunteering [in 1994] on the congressional campaign of a young man named Mark Sanford
So this nonsense tale he is weaving about investigating running as a "Democrat" is pure bullshit IMHO. A quick search notes the district that ("Appalachian Trail" ) Sanford was running in (1st congressional) had generally been gerrymandered along the SC coast and in that 1994 race being referenced, there was apparently only one Democrat who ran for their primary but multiple Republicans for theirs. So back then, he had already gravitated towards working for the GOP, which in that location at that time, was a sure thing for the GOP. So since he did that, why would the party suddenly want him to run as a Democrat for a seat in a city of Democrats? I expect they already knew his history.
:whatever:

5. To be fair, that can be said of every Republican politician.
They are ALL opportunists. They're all only in it to enrich themselves. They don't, and never have given a shit about their constituents. All they care about is power, attention, and lining their own pockets. Tim Scott is no different.
As for Scott believing in nothing, that's true. He's got to be the most useless senator to represent this state in my lifetime. He hasn't done shit for us. All he has done has been to vote on party lines, and allow himself to be trotted out every time his party needs to say, "Look! We have black people, too!"
:whatever:

7. It's funny - I've always gotten EXACTLY this vibe from Michael Steele! I've called
Steele out countless times on DU as an opportunist. I'm utterly disgusted by his double-talking, where he goes on and on about how everyone in the Republican party has gone completely off the rails, but he's still a proud, chest-thumping Republican himself, because he somehow still believes in the "principles" of the party.
:yawn:
