  1. They forced him to show his girlfriend.

  2. So what ? Who cares? He too was another one who kept peddling that big lie AND he was NOT on the right side of women’s healthcare AND kept trying to bring religion into the game.

  3. Friendly reminder that Doug Burgum and Asa Hutchinson are still running 🤣🤣🤣

  4. 🇺🇸RON DeSANTIS 2024.🇺🇸
    WE NEED AN REAL PRESIDENT NOT AN🇵🇰 LGBTQ🏳️‍🌈 SUPPORTER NOT AN BLACK MATTER SUPPORTER.

  5. Well it looks like Tim Scott and Lindsay will have more time to spend…..❤❤❤❤❤

  6. GOP will still keep Timmy around. They always need a black person to bash other black people.

  7. His staff was blindsided just like his fake girlfriend was blindsided.

  8. It sounds like Tim got discouraged.

  9. They should have known from day one.

  10. Was that woman your real girlfriend are just a plant ? We have never seen you with a woman before .

  11. Niki Haley is very corrupt. Very connected to the military industrial complex and her family has made MILLIONS in big contracts. She is a war profiteer and her family is Biden/Clinton like in how wealthy it has become following "public service"

  12. Liked Tim Scott, but felt that the core of the USA would not be supporting his aims for our country. He's a good guy, so I do feel for him at this time. I believe he has done the right thing. Maybe another time.

  13. No one wanted his church/gov. Was he a preacher?

  14. Why would they run against trump??? Do they get to keep the campaign money???

  15. What has Trump promised him? Dirty GOP politics.

  16. Is he in the Brothel list? Didn’t think he liked women tbh.

  17. What reality do these people live in that they thought Tim Scott had a chance? One where Kirsten Cinema is also well liked?

  18. One less fool trying to be president…

  19. No the staffers weren't blind sided! That's a blatant lie! He was polling at like 3%. He was always going to drop out!

  20. It takes some a bit longer to step back to reality and realize we as a country have our man. 2024

  21. Most Likely Corruption 🗡️

  22. He read all the "nigg$r" comments and got scared away

  23. in a party that amplifies religious extremism, racism, sexism, homophobia- why are yall completely unable to produce an effective postmortem for this man's campaign?? fe-fi-fo-racism, the end.

  24. Better to 'blindside" his staffers than to have them leak the information before he got to announce it himself. Good for him!!

  25. If you thought Tim Scott cares about healthcare for his employees, you’ve got another thing coming.

  26. You are a sorry human being, don't,forget that you don't have to, serv the white Master 😢

  27. polling in last place, Polling at 1%, and not going to make the next debate…. and they are surprised….??

  28. They kicked him out because they think he will surpass Hayley

  29. As expected. Just waiting for Vivek to drop out and have Chris, Nikki, and Ron duke it out.

  30. Chris Christie should do the same.

  31. Tims gets to spend time with Lyndsey Graham, and doesn't have to have a fake girlfriend.

  32. GOP Voters are telling me: "Who are you?"

  33. Republicans want a cartoonesque, nasty, bullying kind of leader. In their neanderthal little minds, this means "strength".

  34. Dang it I was looking forward to seeing the 'Girlfriend '.
