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.

Bungles number 55 burfect, the jerk that tried to behead Brown and cost cinncy the game, got into it all day with DeCastro, and Foster said that burfect spat on him several times.
Cincinnati is a low class, cheap organization, that drafts and hires thugs, that could never wear the Black and Gold. Hillary Clinton would be a perfect owner for the bungles.
Low class thugs gave the game away, after they had it won.
It only shows that losers are losers, even when they stumble into a situation where they could win, even should win, but are too stoooooooopid to shut up and walk away with the victory.
What arrogance. Trump is not racist - never has been one.
If I lived in South Carolina and was not a Trump supporter, I would be one now.
That is an Affirmative Action.
Yep, I bet if Trump is the nominee this toadie and the bought and paid for political whore Nikki will be disappointed in how big SC goes for Trump in the election.
Stopped reading right there. Might as well check the opinion of the owner of the tire store or the aluminum diner.
To the great State of South Carolina, your Rep. needs to be tarred and feathered.
