Mediaite reports:
Washington Post reporter Ben Terris spoke with Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) while he was in the process of writing his soon-to-be released book The Big Break: The Gamblers, Party Animals, and True Believers Trying to Win in Washington While America Loses Its Mind.
Scott has now entered the 2024 Republican primary, and his campaign message is expected to be based upon his religious convictions and an optimistic outlook for America. Since this makes Scott’s input that much more interesting for Terris’ book, the latter decided to share details from an interview they had where Terris apparently asked Scott if he was still a virgin.
Read the full article.
Tim Scott will be the first prez candidate I’ve ever asked about the status of his virginity.
Initial answer: “I’m not talking about my sex life with Ben Terris.”
Then he stood up and said: “I have to go potty.”

(It wasn’t a completely random question. He had spent his young adult life preaching abstinence until marriage. He’d give talks and mention that he was saving himself until marriage, and during my interview with the then-congressman he was, and continues to be unmarried.)

One more thing… It was such an awkward question to ask that I wrote myself a script: You used to preach about the virtue of no sex until marriage… is that a virtue that you still adhere to today?”
Ultimately he implied he did not.
“I just wish we all had more patience.”

Given that GOP Sen. Tim Scott has officially announced that he is running for president, today seems like a good time to repost this recent clip of him declaring that the government should be “bowing the knee to the church.” https://t.co/ye9kKZl5bt pic.twitter.com/gj5UvG97AV
