Gov. McMaster’s language reckless
While speaking at the South Carolina Republican convention on May 20, Governor Henry McMaster said, “I look forward to the day that Democrats are so rare, we have to hunt them with dogs.” Regardless of our political affiliation, we should all be appalled and disgusted by this statement. This is the kind of reckless, dehumanizing language we would expect from a pre-Civil War slave owner or a Nazi official in WWII Germany. This is not how decent people talk about other human beings and this is not how an elected official should talk about 40% of his constituents.
We have a message for Henry McMaster: The Democrats in South Carolina are not going away. However, you can be assured that we will be going to the polls in 2024.
