COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — The South Carolina Democrat vying to oust Republican U.S. Sen. Tim Scott is facing calls from within her own party to fold her campaign, following the publication of additional leaked audio in which she appears to make disparaging remarks about her constituents.
The calls for state Rep. Krystle Matthews to withdraw just two months ahead of the general election came Thursday in reaction to leaked audio published by conservative activist group Project Veritas of Matthews speaking to one of its members, without her knowledge.
Sitting in a restaurant, Matthews, who is Black, is heard saying that she represents a “mostly white” district, adding, of white voters: “I keep them right here — like under my thumbs. ... Otherwise, they get out of control — like kids.”
“You ought to know who you’re dealing with,” Matthews goes on to say. “You’ve got to treat them like s—-. That’s the only way they’ll respect you.”
In a statement, Matthews acknowledged her voice on the recording, calling Project Veritas a “satirical MAGA Powered news outlet.”
The compilation also features more of Matthews’ conversation, parts of which were previously published by Project Veritas, in which she spoke to an inmate about funding her campaign with “dope boy money” and having Democrats run as Republicans, saying “secret sleepers” represent “the only way you’re gonna change the dynamics in South Carolina.”

I wonder what the latest date the Dems could replace on the ballot is.
“...Otherwise, they [white voters] get out of control — like kids.”
Yeah, they can get real uppity.
I dunno. I kinda like he but then I like lost luggage.
Damn this woman and her insane party to hell.
“She’s a standard democrat racist.”
...but she said the quiet part out loud.
There’s a lot more of her kind where she came from. We see tiny bits.
No way she or any other Dem beats Scott regardless.
Rats raely turn on their own. This is interesting.
James O’Keefe is a superhero.
I am not seeing the problem here. Isn't that how all good politicians treat their constituents. It's certainly par for the course for McConnell and his fellow RINOs.
They would never do it, if she was going to win.
She is losing, so they can virtue signal on her.
I am surprised by dems suddenly sense of self awareness. I’d think they’d stand by her and what she said.
Maybe in South Carolina there are still a few olde tyme Dems remaining.
And that changes what she said...how?
Will she be replaced with a white guy?
Anyone facing Tim Scott in SC is sacrificial meat waiting to be trashed.
Oh, RINOs, Assistant Democrats, and Supreme Court nominees? Yeah, we already know Party D engages in those shenanigans without much pushback.
Veritas does actual undercover reporting, which is why the DOJ wants to destroy them.
A pathetic, vicious racist. I read the transcripts.
Like you said: typical Leftist.
