Tim Scott: I Have A Real Life Christian Female Girlfriend

ABC News reports:

South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott said Saturday that he would soon introduce an important person in his life — his girlfriend. Scott, who has never been married, brushed aside chatter about his personal life as highlighted in a recent article by the website Axios, for example.

“I have a wonderful girlfriend, and we have a wonderful relationship,” Scott said on Fox News.

“The good news is that God has blessed me with a smart, Christian woman. That’s great news, but more importantly is, why are the headlines there? The headlines are there because as I rise in the polls, as people show up at night in my town halls, it scares even my opponents.”

Read the full article. Scott has preached for abstinence before marriage and earlier this year dodged a Washington Post question over whether he remains a virgin. The clip below is cued up to his mention of his totally real girlfriend.
