I just don’t understand why he would not tell the “acting” governor that he will be out of pocket for a few days. This would have stopped all of this. I think at the very least he needed to speak with the Lieutenant Governor...like him or not I think that is your responsibility to do this.
The lieutenant governor is a political rival and has his hand in stirring up the whole thing, napscoordinator. If SC is like NC, the elections are separate. It’s entirely possible to have a governor and a lt. governor who are at each other’s throats, even if they’re from the same party, and they are from the same party.
