Anti-LGBTQ+ Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) followed in the president’s footsteps on Monday when he used an anti-trans slur to describe cisgender Democratic South Carolina Senate candidate Annie Andrews.
Scott said during an appearance on Real America’s Voice, “Annie Andrews, as President Donald Trump calls her, tr***y Annie, here’s a person who believes, as a pediatrician, for trans surgery, gender surgery for trans kids. That’s wrong. Period,” Scott said.
One of the biggest lessons from this election is that the trans crap failed, and failed big. Even the bigots can’t ignore that and I’ll bet the 2028 cycle will see many fewer ads about bathrooms and girls sports.
What else to expect from conservatives?
They’ve been intentionally calling the DemocratIC Party the “Democrat Party” for decade upon decade. You’ll sometimes even hear them “correct” themselves on air, in order to stay on-message for being petty little babies that constantly insult Democrats.
They know the correct name for the party, but they’ll back up and make sure they say “Democrat Party”. Just like some of the idiots now referring to artificial intelligence/AI as “superintelligence” or “SI”, will do the same thing, especially if donnie is standing next to them…

Go ahead Tim, get it out of your system. All these chucklefucks saying slurs while the bigotry is still acceptable. They want to say the f-slur and the n-word and call people the r-word so bad but they know they can’t.
Let’s build a world where it’s very clearly NOT ok to keep using this disgusting language.
Meanwhile, South Carolina’s new Democratic Senator one day after the election (arc)
KELLY: I saw Nikki Haley, the Republican former governor of your state. She said last night South Carolina didn’t vote for you. They voted against Trump Republicans. What do you think? Do you think both can be true?
ANDREWS: I think we worked really hard to build a campaign that was for everyone. And we brought together people from across the political spectrum. I was so proud to earn the endorsement of former Republican South Carolina Governor David Beasley, also proud to have the support of Ralph Norman’s children, including his son, Warren Norman. And we built a campaign that was really laser-focused on the problems South Carolinians face, regardless of if you’re a Republican, a Democrat or an independent.
And that’s what the story from last night was - that people are tired of the divisiveness. They’re more concerned about what’s happening in South Carolina than they are about the party politics in Washington, D.C. And they saw in me someone who will be a fighter for South Carolina, someone who’s serious about solving these problems and, again, willing to work across the aisle. The only two senators I’ve talked to since I won my race last night are Senators Darline Graham and Senator Tim Scott. And Tim Scott and I are planning to get together next week because we’re going to work together to solve…
KELLY: Yeah.

Because respectability politics, language-policing and pearl-clutching are sure winners for Dems.
You do know that it’s possible to both call out and condemn a person for their hate speech AND work on legislation, right? It’s not like dem reps are just sitting in their offices all day devoting all their effort to this single issue.
You being so against Dems fighting hate rhetoric really paints a picture of your character.
Sure, thing, buddy. Keep fighting for Political Correctness, I’m sure it will catch on some day.
Better than just accepting it and actively arguing against fighting it.
Do you see what a wasted effort this is? You want to go into a general election arguing about this shit, good fucking luck. Even Sayed knew not to get into defending Hassan Piker on the campaign trail even though he agreed with Piker 100%.
People fucking hate being told how to talk, and that’s all this is. If you want to fight for trans rights, fight for what trans people are allowed to do (sports, employment, bathrooms, housing) instead of policing speech. And, yes, I know a right to live in spaces where abusive slurs aren’t thrown around is also a trans right, but I think it’s counterproductive ground to fight on (outside of workplace harrassment lawsuits, where this is already illegal)–you’re not going to win anything and you’re only going to build resentment.
Or, you know, keep doing your in-group performativity thing if it makes y’all happy.
Dude this is embarrassing behavior for you please stop
There are literal years worth of reasons Tim Scott is a shitbag nobody should ever brag about being willing to work with, this was just the most recent example
