- For over two years, South Carolina has spent millions of dollars on this political stunt. But this same governor says we don’t have money to feed our kids.For over two years, South Carolina National Guard troops have been deployed along the Southern Border. And we will keep sending them until the border is secure.
- I said that surpassing 10,000 COVID deaths was a “failure of leadership” and I was criticized for it. Let me be clear: if you consider 10,000 dead a success of your leadership, then do the people of South Carolina a favor and get a new job.
- The students, faculty, and alumni of our state’s flagship university deserve better. I will file a bill to remove the governor from his role as an ex officio member of the @UofSC Board of Trustees. In order to take the politics out of it, we must take the politician out of it.
- Hand marked paper ballots and risk limiting post election audits. It's not all that complicated.Paper ballots are the smartest, safest way to conduct secure elections and protect from voter manipulation. Russia can’t hack a piece of paper. Our nation needs to be ready to protect our election systems against attacks by foreign powers. Now is the time to prepare.
- Yesterday a Republican member of the House called women - including victims of rape and incest - who choose to get an abortion "murderers." I was disgusted. Watch my full remarks here: facebook.com/RepRutherford/…

Now we have Candace Owens teaching history class.The South Carolina Department of Education today announced a parternship with controversial education company Prager U, which has been criticized for promoting conservative viewpoints in its lessons
- The next time you hit a pothole, remember Republicans were too busy restricting women’s reproductive rights to do anything about it.
- The Mueller Report reveals shocking new info about our fragile elections. We need paper ballots & risk limiting audits. @RonWyden @KassandraSeven @b140tweet @Christina_Two @awelab1956 @mjoehlerich @underwhelmed04 @ActDontReact @AmbarJanuel @katiecouric cnn.com/2019/04/18/pol…
- I had the honor of introducing our @GamecockWBB National Champions during their visit to the State House. Go Gamecocks!
00:00 - To all South Carolinians who support a woman’s right to choose: Democrats stand with you.
00:00 - SC Public schools are not funded at an even “adequate” level & Gov McMaster allocated $32 million, 66% of the CARES Act education fund, to private schools. This, at a time where public schools are faced with unprecedented challenges. Today, and everyday, I stand with our teachers
