On Monday, Republican Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina announced he is running for president.
Tim Scott, 57 years old, is running on traditional Conservative Christian Family Values, however, he does not have a typical nuclear Republican family. He is not sending out Christmas cards of him and his loved ones brandishing AR-15s in front of the tree because there is no family, no wife, I’m not even sure there’s a lady friend.
There are reports that Tim once brought a woman with him to attend a three day political junket paid for by the conservative think tank American Enterprise. Scott was treated to an $876 dollar a night suite, large enough to accommodate Scott, his mother and, upon the urging of his mother, said lady friend.
Republicans like Scott are all about restoring “normalcy.” He is an Evangelical Christian who opposes same sex marriage because, in his world, it is “normal” for a man to marry a woman and have children.
When he was 30, Tim Scott first ran for office proudly declaring that he was a virgin. That may have worked for his conservative base because he convinced them he, like any “normal” man, yeah right, wanted to save himself for his wedding night.
The Republican party is jamming their definition of “normal” so far down our throats that several Gay Pride parades had to be cancelled in Florida this month for fear that Drag Queens would be arrested.
On Wednesday, the chain store, Target, had to pull merchandise celebrating Gay Pride because employees received so many threats that they feared for their lives.
The LGBTQ community is terrified because Tim Scott’s party has declared it’s open season on anyone Republicans deem “not normal.” According to the ACLU, this year alone, Republicans introduced a record number of 417 anti-LGBTQ bills in state legislatures.
So, I demand to know if Tim Scott is “normal.” It doesn’t seem so.
It’s not “normal” behavior for a grown man to take both a woman and his mother on a three day romantic getaway.
It’s not “normal” for a man to be proud of his virginity at age thirty.
If Republican insist on dictating to parents, teachers and students what constitutes “normalcy,” then I expect a 57 year old Republican male to be in a “healthy” heteronormative marriage with children.
Otherwise, get out of the Republican party.
I want reporters to ask Tim Scott if he is “normal” because I don’t think he’s a “normal,” red blooded Republican male. Where’s the wife and the kids?
I think like most Republican men he’s sick in the head, and that sickness is getting people killed.
Right now, young adults are committing suicide, cowering in the closet, and getting beaten up because Republicans have given license to all the bullies in this world to pass judgement on anyone they decide is different.
I don’t hear Tim Scott speaking up for these young adults.
So, I demand to know if Tim Scott is “normal.”
Explain yourself Tim Scott. Are you “normal?” Is there a woman?
Are you still a virgin?
Or are you something else?

Definitely not normal.
Is Tim Scott normal? The GOP has defined deviancy down, so 'normal' for Republicans is anything they do as long as they don't get caught. My take on Scott is that any man his age who takes his mother with him on junkets instead of a girlfriend has, at the very least, a perception problem. I wonder if he uses a 'wide stance' when using public toilets?
