Brett Farr backed Thad for Haley because Haley pardoned his brother at the last of his gov. term.
Haley hurt his political rep by pardoning a bunch of felons during his last months as gov. One has already committed murder since the pardon, according to MS sources.
So an end run would make Barbour senator without the expense and bother of a candidacy.
Anyone else hear this rumor? It just sounds so plausible.

I’ve read something similar, except it was Haley’s son who was getting the Senate appointment.
We’ll see.
