This is vile, but unsurprising from Nikki Haley. The same person who refused to take down the Confederate Flag until the tragedy in Charleston, and tried to justify a Confederate History Month. She’s just as MAGA as Trump.
Stunning moment: At a town hall in Berlin, N.H., Nikki Haley was asked by a voter what was the cause of the Civil War. She said the war was about government interfering in people’s freedoms. The voter then called her out for not mentioning slavery.
The majority of the Dem electorate in SC is Black and our governor is saying out loud he can’t wait to hunt us down with dogs. This is absolutely chilling to hear from a Southern Gov who knows our history.

Vice President Harris officially filed the Biden-Harris campaign's paperwork in Columbia, South Carolina, to appear on the state's first-in-the-nation primary ballot, turning it over to South Carolina Democratic Party Chair Christale Spain.
There are few things as powerful as a group of women committed to fighting for their community.

There are approximately 1200 unregistered POC in the 24 Precincts that make up his House Dist 52. He won in 2020 by 710 votes, which means we only need to register 29 voters per precinct to beat him in 2022.

Now that the candidate filing period is officially closed, we are excited to report that almost 400 Democrats across South Carolina filed to run for office, from Congress to Clerk of Court. We are excited to see more Democrats running to serve their communities.
I just tried to schedule an appointment with my OB/GYN and I can’t be seen until 8weeks from now. How do Republicans expect the slim number of women who realize they’re pregnant before 6weeks to get care especially if they reside in healthcare deserts?
Quick answer: They don’t.

Labor & delivery is and has always been a major medical process. It was a dangerous undertaking 80 years ago when my grandmother was having babies and it’s still just as dangerous today, especially for Black Women. My birthing horror story reminds me that we have to be strong
