State Sen. Lee Bright announced his candidacy Tuesday for the GOP nomination for the U.S. Senate, calling incumbent Republican U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham "a community organizer for the Muslim Brotherhood."
"During the (congressional) recess, when I would hope that he would be around folks in South Carolina, getting their feelings on so many issues that affect their lives, he has instead chosen to take his time to be a community organizer for the Muslim Brotherhood and that concerns me," Bright told supporters in a conference call. "He needs to spend more time listening to what the brothers in South Carolina have to say."
At the request of President Barack Obama, Graham last week visited Egypt with U.S. Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., to help calm things down after the Egyptian military's recent overthrow of President Mohammed Morsi, a leader of the Muslim Brotherhood, a political and religious organization that wants the government to operate under Muslim law.
A spokesperson for Graham did not respond directly to Bright's comments, saying only Graham "has a proven track record of protecting our conservative values and fighting for South Carolina," citing his 92 score from the American Conservative Union and "A" rating from the National Rifle Association.
Bright, who represents Spartanburg in the state Senate, joins an already crowded field for next summer's Republican primary. Other GOP candidates include Anderson businessman Richard Cash, a former congressional candidate, and Charleston businesswoman Nancy Mace, the first woman to graduate from The Citadel.

Seems to be working well, not.
I keep asking myself: Self—why would a partisan Democrat President send two RINO a-holes to Egypt to try to get a Muslim like Morsi back into office?
Nailed it!
To undercut and humiliate the ‘lions’ of the GOP.
In other words, he screwed his two biggest points of support in the other half of the ‘one true party’. No one ever said Zero was swift, but then Jon and Lin will love the rough sex.
Obama is finally outraged about something besides Trayvon. He didn't care when Morsi’s supporters were killing Christians, but he's upset now that the Egyptian people have said they have had enough of Morsi. How dare the people kick Morsi to the curb.
