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.

    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.

      In their own way they are helping to build that world, by making clear how disgusting they are in their words and behaviors. I can’t wait for investigations, and charges to be brought. Hesgseth could be first, but he sure shouldn’t be the last or only to see significant jail time, and fines that take them from riches to rags.

        Vought is relatively quiet and behind the scenes and a lot less performative than that idiot Hegseth, but even more than Hegseth, I want to see that little motherfucker pay.

        “When they wake up in the morning, we want them to not want to go to work because they are increasingly viewed as the villains,” he went on. “We want their funding to be shut down so that the [Environmental Protection Agency] can’t do all of the rules against our energy industry because they have no bandwidth financially to do so.

        “We want to put them in trauma.”

        Keep in mind he’s talking about Americans that are civil servants. This angry little shithead who is himself a “bureaucrat” set out to explicitly assault 2 million Americans that work for this country.

        He needs to pay for that.
