CHARLESTON, S.C. (Reuters) - A Democratic legislator in South Carolina has a message for Republican U.S. presidential candidate Donald Trump: Stay out of my state.
Representative John King filed a resolution on Tuesday saying the Republican front-runner's "abrasive and racist rhetoric" did not belong South Carolina, a state that King said has worked to move beyond a past of racial intolerance.
"South Carolinians have tirelessly worked to overcome a history of hatred and bigotry and there is no place in this state for anyone who espouses hatred and bigotry as a campaign slogan," King's resolution said. "He is not welcome in the state of South Carolina
King, a funeral home owner and member of South Carolina’s legislative black caucus, represents Rock Hill, which he said posts the motto "No Room For Racism" on all city limit signs.
"Mr. Trump must have missed them on his way into town," King said in a statement.
The resolution seems unlikely to win approval from the Republican-led House of Representatives. Even if it did, it would not have the weight of law and would have little effect on the billionaire candidate's ability to campaign in the state ahead of its Feb. 20 primary.
South Carolina is considered an important voting state with its third-in-the-nation primary election in the race for the party nomination to run for the White House in November.
Trump is scheduled to appear in South Carolina on Thursday for a Republican presidential debate hosted by Fox Business Network.

Yeah...and I’ve seen some of his rallies in South Carolina...looks like he is VERY WELCOME to me.
‘Democrat’ did not make the headline LOL!
Well, anyone who gets their news from ‘yahoos’ knows what they’re getting..
Dear Rep. King:
Or you’ll WHAT!?
Blacks cede power to the brown horde
A horde that is more racist to them than whites are
A bright group of leaders no doubt
The world is dotted by their successes
I believe Trump will win South Carolina overwhelmingly.
John King, a black racist.
And everybody knows we need more laws...
It’s a free country.
It's not your state, dipshit!
When the best you have to offer is Nikki Haley, Lindsey Grahmnesty, and John Edwards I really don’t care what you might think.
Trump hasn’t said anything racist. Watching them lose their minds is perfect.
He’s trying to be a badass like the Bengal players. With that mentality, being a badass is the only thing that matters.
Rep. John King, SC House District 49

Would that make King the last chance for one to be registered to vote democrat?
You gotta wonder what goes through the minds of these African-Americans!!!! Obama has done absolutely nothing for them. Economically, , jobwise educationwise, opportunitywise and equalitywise...they are worse off then they ever were as they live under Obama;s oppressive thumb!!! Trump is a bright light of hope for “all” loyal American citizens that are proud to be Americans...now and forever!!! This Black gent most likely has a screw loose....I guess he did not get the memo from Obama....that he is to remain a chattel, economic, slave on the Obama plantation forver and worship the Black Racist that Obama is!!! Go Donald Trump!!!
Get off your high horse. It's obvious you speak for yourself, not South Carolina.
Noticing the Big Lie attack against Trump (claiming he’s a racist). Have heard dozens of his clips on the news and not a one has been racist yet. And I’m sure if there were racist statements, the mass media would play them over and over and over and over -—).
