Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) made sure on Saturday to tell Iowa voters that he does indeed have a girlfriend. “I’m dating a lovely Christian girl,” he said at the Faith and Freedom Coalition, a town hall attended by a number of GOP presidential candidates. It was the first time Scott addressed the question since a Washington Post piece investigated his relationship status. He then reinforced the unnamed partner’s religious beliefs, quoting the book of Proverbs to the crowd, “He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the Lord,” before kneeling and asking the crowd to pray for him, according to Politico.
