Tim Scott Shows Off “Alleged” Girlfriend At Debate, The Web Had Questions

Senator
Tim
Scott
showed
up
at
the
recent
Republican
presidential
debate
with
his
mystery
girlfriend
in
tow,
prompting
a
ton
of
reactions
online. 
On
Wednesday

night,
as
the
Republican
presidential
debate
held
in
Miami,
Florida
ended,
all
of
the
candidates
were
greeted
by
their
family
members
and
spouses
on
stage.
Eyebrows
were
raised
as
Senator
Tim
Scott
of
South
Carolina
was
greeted
by
an
unidentified
blonde
woman
in
a
gray
pantsuit.
The
two
then
posed
for
photos
arm-in-arm
as
they
grinned
widely.
It
was
an
interesting
development
for
Scott,
the
only
Black
GOP
candidate
who
has
been
an
ardent
supporter
of
conservative
family
values
but
has
been

questioned
by
members
of
his
party
about
his
lack
of
a
romantic
life.

The
woman
was
later
confirmed
by
someone
close
to
the
campaign
to
be
Mindy
Noce,
a
design
and
renovations
manager
for
a
real
estate
firm
in
the
Charleston,
South
Carolina
area
where
Scott
is
from.
Other
sources
confirmed
that
she
is
a
mother
of
three
children.
Senator
Scott,
who
has
been
firmly
tight-lipped
about
his
romantic
relationships
when
queried
by
the
press,
also
confirmed
that
Noce
was
his
girlfriend
when
questioned
by

NBC
News
reporter
Nnamdi
Egwuonwu
who
first
asked,
“Any
special
guests
with
you
today?”
“All
my
guests
are
special,”
Scott
first
responded
before
confirming.
But
he
offered
nothing
more
than
the
information
that
they
had
been
seeing
each
other
“for
a
year
or
so”.

The
appearance
of
Scott’s
girlfriend
caused
many
online
to
register
shock
at
the
timing.
Others
took
the
opportunity
to
note
that
Noce’s
presence
seemed
to
be
more
of
a
highlight
for
Scott
than
his
remarks
at
the
debate.
The
moment
also
prompted
others
to
speculate
if
their
relationship
was
truly
real,
making
comparisons
of
Scott
to
fellow
South
Carolina
senator

Lindsay
Graham.
Tim
Scott
is
still
viewed
as
an
underdog
in
the
race
to
be
the
GOP’s
2024
presidential
nominee,
despite
some
strong
fundraising
numbers.

We’ve
put
together
some
of
the
more
notable
online
reactions
to
Tim
Scott’s
new
paramour
below.
