“Soapbox” of mine to defend a man against vicious media lies, half-truths and slander ? So he’s not entitled to the benefit of the doubt until all the facts are in ? Shoot first, ask questions later, right ? Got it. I hope when you’re accused of something you get the same treatment we’ve seen given the Governor on this thread. See how you like it.
He’s entitled to the benefit of the facts. And the facts, thus far, don’t shine a good light on him. I hope that changes. You can deny facts as media spin all you want and harangue people about it. But the truth still lies there.
You and some of the rest need to settle down and let the facts come out. It is not the media’s fault that they have been given different stories.
He is the Governor of South Carolina and that is his obligation 24/7 and when he leaves the State, it is his obligation to name the Lt Governor acting not just leave without his security detail and not even hiw wife knowing where he is.
That is not someone who should be Governor — he swore an oath as Governor and being gone with his office even having different stories does not make a good Governor no matter how you slice it. His stand up against the stimulus was the right thing to do, but he lost with the Supreme Court. That’s the way Government works. I don’t care what he calls himself but he is listed as a Republican and we don’t need prima donna’s that feel that they can do whatever they want as elected officials — we have enough of those.
