S.C. Gov. Henry McMaster and several members of the state’s congressional delegation spoke out this week against requiring U.S. residents to obtain “vaccine passports,” or documentation proving they had been vaccinated against COVID-19.
Thursday afternoon, McMaster tweeted that the documents “will have no place in South Carolina.”
“The very idea is un-American to its core,” McMaster tweeted.
By early Friday afternoon, five of South Carolina’s six Republican congressmen signed a letter in support of McMaster’s stance. The letter was signed by U.S. Reps.
