TRAGEDY TAKES A TURN FOR THE CRAZY …
|| By FITSNEWS || Memo to Democrats: The next time there’s a tragedy, keep U.S. Jim Clyburn a million miles away from the microphone.
At a time when South Carolina – and the country – was taking up a serious discussion involving officer-involved shootings, police cover-ups and body cameras (all stemming from the tragic white-on-black shooting of Walter Scott last week), along comes Clyburn to irrationally sensationalize and politicize the debate.
“The problem we’ve got is that a climate has been created in the country that’s causing these things to occur all over,” Clyburn said on MSNBC’s ‘Hardball.’
In fact Clyburn specifically blasted one group – the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) – for “drawing up pieces of legislation like ‘stand your ground’ (that) gives a license for people to be vigilantes.”
Wait a minute … what does legislation specifically addressing a private citizen’s right to protect themselves have to do with police violence? Or efforts by police to cover-up said violence?
Nothing, that’s what. Absolutely nothing.
Also last time we checked ALEC – like FITS – supports legislation which would wire all cops for pictures and sound. Which would have likely prevented what clearly appears to be an attempt by police in North Charleston to cover up the details of Scott’s murder.
Don’t bother telling any of that to Clyburn, though.
“They are the ones that are drawing up all of these so-called voter ID laws,” Clyburn added. “They are the ones that have been drawing up these unfair redistricting plans.”
Wait … what? Voter ID laws and gerrymandering are now to blame?
Unbelievable …
“These people are a cancer eating at the innards of our society,” Clyburn continued. “And it’s time for our elected officials to start speaking out about this because the climate that’s being created is not a good climate. And that’s why you have these rogue police officers feeling they have license to do what they want to do and there will be no consequences paid for it. And I think that that’s the mindset of this police officer.”
Wow …
In an interview with Time, Clyburn took it even further – blaming the tragedy on billionaire industrialists (crony capitalists?) Charles G. Koch and David H. Koch.
“The Klu Klux Klan didn’t run free throughout the South without financial support from some upstanding people,” he told Time reporter Alex Rogers. “And that’s what’s going on here. The Koch brothers may be upstanding people in New York but they are funding these draconian attacks on voting, attacks on young black males—and that’s what ‘stand your ground’ laws are all about.”
Wow …
For those of you living outside of South Carolina, such crazy comments aren’t surprising. Clyburn made similarly bizarre claims in the aftermath of the 2011 shooting of former U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords – stating that America needed to “rethink the parameters of free speech” in response to the tragedy.

You never let a serious crisis go to waste.
When you’re reading off cue cards, nothing has to relate to the topic at hand.
Ol’Enos would just be Mr.Clyburn if it weren’t for gerrymandering. What a dumb ass.
“Ol’Enos would just be Mr.Clyburn if it weren’t for gerrymandering. What a dumb ass.”
I think you are jealous of his success.
What success? His success at getting his unqualified daughter a seat on the FCC board? His success at getting funding for the Clyburn Transportation Center at SCSU?
“What success?”
Little Bitch – did you say something???
He did, he mentioned Clyburn’s totalitarian nepotism-beneficiary daughter who suggested we put government monitors in newsrooms to see how they make ‘editorial’ decisions, she is a fascist. Squishy also mentioned the missing millions at the Clyburn Transpo Center, which has gone a long way towards damaging that school, a school that has already lost its federal transportation center designation, & is on the verge of closure and loss of accreditation. As usual, you cannot engage in any discussion of any policy, event, political appointment, the state of higher education, and the ripping off of people who needed that money the most, the people you and the left claim to represent.
“He did, ”
GrandTango’s Sister – did you say something?
You sound like BridgetBernadette’s angry sister-in-law.
What? I’m on your side pal. And I actually post ideas, not curse words.
“What? I’m on your side pal. And I actually post ideas, not curse words.”
Priceless! LOL I guess Squishy does not want to be your “pal”, huh? Too funny!
Squishy is Squishy, not sure where Squishy stands….LOL.
Squishy is way too squishy to stand. He, she, or it does not that stands. He, she, or it takes squishes.
“As usual, you cannot engage in any discussion of any policy, event, political appointment, the state of higher education, and the ripping off of people who needed that money the most, the people you and the left claim to represent.”
The left blah blah blah the liberals blah blah blah Obama blah blah blah Clyburn blah blah blah
Yeah, She does that. But in this instance, it’s all correct. I don’t give a shit about where he stands on the political spectrum. He’s a nepotistic, crooked, pontificating asshole. See the excellent series of reports by David Wren (largely viewed as liberal by his critics) a few years back detailing all the double-dealing and deception of this sleazy political hack, in the Three Rivers Scandal. btw, he managed to take care of some kinfolk pretty well in the Pigford Settlement, too, as I recall. Jim’s in it for Jim, his family, and his cronies in both parties. He uses the rhetoric of civil rights to mask his true, innately dishonest self.
“Yeah, She does that. But in this instance, it’s all correct”
Well, that is your OPINION Buz and we all have one right? Nobody’s OPINION is any more “correct” than the next person’s opinion. I’ll be honest with you – I have not followed Clyburn’s career closely as I did not live in the South for much of my life and just did not follow it – I will search for the reports from David Wren and do some more reading. This forum loves to trot out certain politicians – I’ll let you figure out the ones I am talking about – as red meat for the folks like Brigid and Tango and their ilk to come on here and spout off a bunch of crapola over and over and over and over – it is just about a weekly occurrence with Clyburn. Fits knows how to play folks – and some folks lap it up greedily – over and over and over. Thanks for your OPINION Buz.
And what is the score now in SC? 25% “progressive”, 25% rino, 25% don’t care, 25% just here for the food stamps?
Taxifornia is worse: 45% “progressive”, 30% rino, 25% can’t read English traffic signs.
I am printing out a few dozen photos of James Clyburn to lay on my garage floor so my dog and shit all over his ugly face. *Smiles*
LOL It’s a free country, enjoy!
I seriously doubt any dog would waste his time shitting on ol’ Enos.
About what I expected from you. You talk ol’ Enos up, yet can’t name one thing that he’s done.
So failing out of law school is successful?
You forgot the James E. Clyburn Pedestrian Bridge over S.C. 277 in Columbia for people that are too dumb to not try and cross and interstate highway on foot. No one actually uses it though and the residents of the four projects (two on each side of SC 277) regularly remove themselves from the gene pool on that stretch of road.
Col. you should be able to walk to some of the places in Columbia from your day job where they cut individual houses in and out of District 6 and District 2 based on the ethnicity of voters living there on the day the census was taken.
“They are the ones that have been drawing up these unfair redistricting plans.” Are you shitting me Clyburn? If there was ever a token district drawn up for a token congressman, it’s you. If anyone has ever benefited from gerrymandering, it’s you. You are, and always have been, a massive joke. There are no words to describe how big of a tool you are and how you are the biggest waste of space to have ever set foot in the US HoR…and that says a lot.
You realize the Clyburn doesn’t draw his gerrymandered district, rather the SC Republican controlled legislature draws the Congressional districts and approves them.
Surprised you didn’t say it, Will. The craziest thing is that he thinks gerrymandering is unfair. But that’s what have given him so much power. He’s kind of old to be eating paint chips, and I’m sure he can afford far better cuisine — so there must be some other problem.
Boz…you cannot have it both ways. You cannot pander based on race, as you so often and sickeningly do (Timbucktu, Rock) …and then run from what you are, because FITS tells you to…OWN WHAT YOU ARE…
You got your reward for loving Clyburn, when all the racist liberals pat you on the back for being “open-minded” intolerant of equality, as y’all are…Don’t try to walk it back now…
I ain’t runnin’ from shit, GT. I don’t hate Clyburn (just as I don’t hate you), but I don’t love him, either (ditto). I was against Jim Clyburn before I had ever read this blog or heard of Will Folks. Dr. Tinubu is a whole other order of human being than Clyburn — who was, in fact, the main reason she was defeated twice. Clyburn did not want her to win, and in fact, supported Tom Rice behind the scenes.
I see that your absense of a couple of days did not dull your sharply defined delusions.
He hasn’t gone anywhere for the past couple days, he’s trying to harass different people. I guess it’s your turn today Buz!
He thinks I am a liberal male – so don’t put a lot of stock in his rants! :)
Not sure what the surprise about this is here. There is more of this nonsense coming down the pike. This was the problem with Bakari’s that you put up on the original story. People everywhere now are trumpeting the myth that this is nothing more than the epidemic of white cops are shooting down innocent black people. If only there was more video.
“epidemic of white cops are shooting down innocent black people”
We know that’s not the case because there was a black cop standing right next to officer Slager as the perp was bleeding out.
Bless his heart.
It’s a shame that South Carolina is guilted into gerrymandering a majority minority district for Mr. Clyburn. He is a bonafide grade-A idiot.
“He is a bonafide grade-A idiot.”
Can I get that grade when I order Filet Mignon?
Only when you order Mignon Clyburn, I’m afraid.
Dude, that’s his daughter you are talking about there!
Oh dear, have I offended you? I hope not.
Yeah, and fuck her too.
Yeah why don’t Republicans Ungerrymander that District.
That’s peasy,of course ,and has nothing to do with”guilt” and everything to do with maintaining a Republican majority in the Congressional delegation.
Distributing the Black population among neighboring districts could make the First and Seventh Districts competitive for the Democrats.
Republican politicos”get” that ,but don’t articulate it and let their “base” (people like you) rave on.
Continue dunce!
I would suggest not redrawing districts. You might Gerry-out some good comedians.
It’s always hard to tell whether these GOPers are that ignorant and dumb or are just lying. Blaming others for their sins is pretty typical though.
What I meant to say is, “Blah, Blah, Blah,I’m black, blah blah blah,Fuck da PoPo, blah blah blah,Vote for me black people, blah blah blah,Free shit for blacks, blah blah blah,the system is broken,blah blah blah.”
Hope that clears it up. Vote for me.
You forgot to insert “uh, uh, uh” and “ahh” every other word. Decades as a US Representative and the motherfucker can’t even speak English.
Just when you get done laughing at the likes of Cruz, Paul and Jeb, Clyburn steps in and steals the show. What a buffoon.
The really funny thing? You fools let that blowhard legislate away your tax money.
(I laugh at the stupnaggles in charge of Taxifornia, too.)
Ask Clyburn to whom the grant money awarded to SCSU was dispersed.
I’ll take Jim Clyburn over Joe Wilson any day of the week and twice on Sunday . . .
sorta like dumb and dumber….what a choice!
But… but… Clyburn is *black*!
Are you saying you would not Suck him off,…if he was not?…Kinda racist of you, is it not…
Your continuous resort to homoerotic imagery gives you away… come out… we’ll accept you just the way you are. It’s not your choice… you were born that way. NTTAWWT.
Why do you continually allude to homosexuality as an insult…but use it as a crutch to garner sympathy from the ignorant?
Are you that F*#king confused, or just disingenuous…and you’re so stupid you think no one notices????
He doesn’t appear to be insulting you, in fact he seems to be encouraging you.
I wasn’t insulting you… really. We accept you for the latent homosexual you are.. no judgement. We’ll fight for your right to party.
I’m glad you want him to EFF you….But you’re an ignorant and hand-out taking Dumb@$$…What about those of us who pay the freight…getting effed by your corrupt gods???…We don’t deserve it…
As an ignorant cunt I’m sure you would.
“As an ignorant cunt I’m sure you would.”
LOL From the sorriest excuse for a man that posts on this forum.
How does GrandTango’s dick taste today, Little Bitch?
You are still on here using the same insults and spewing the same filth that you were this morning, and still humiliating yourself. You have nothing to offer anyone, never once have you engaged in any policy discussion, you are the left’s Todd Kincannon. Go down to Orangeburg and offer your help with the poverty, drug, and crime problems in Clyburn’s district. Go on, they are waiting for you to rescue them.
” Go on, they are waiting for you to rescue them.”
LOL Here you are up-voting Squishy after he called you GrandtTango’s sister just yesterday! LOL
Policy discussion? LOL Here is your idea of “policy discussion” – liberals blah blah blah leftists blah blah blah Obama blah blah blah used to be liberal till I saw the light blah blah blah
It’s a big effing game SCBlues and we are the pawns. I might be slow, but I do get around to figuring it out. Think about it. They all flip flop.
I like BB sometimes, I like Squishy sometimes, GT I can even tolerate sometimes, but they all have a game. What is their game? It might play into your hand? It certainly does not play into mine.
Mizrahim vs the Ashkenazim
What about Sephardim?
While “Sephardim” literally means Jews from the Iberian Peninsula, it has expanded to describe Jews from Africa or Asia, or to describe those who follow Sephardic, as opposed to Ashkenazic, religious practice. Following the expulsion from Spain, many Sephardic Jews immigrated to Arab countries, where they blended with the local population, making it difficult to distinguish between Sephardim and native Mizrahim
Correct. Ashkenazi are on one side of my family, who were in a camp and only came here after liberation. Nice to have the brains, not nice to have the genetic predisposition to certain diseases.
How much do you know about Old Assyrians? How or where does that fit into your religious views?
My Sumerian is a little rusty.
The writer for Conan lives (or lived maybe) in a small town a few tens of miles south of Columbia (St. Mathews).
http://www.amazon.com/review/RXCTQDWTZDUQL/ref=cm_cr_rdp_perm?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B00D4HYDX6
Let me Google that shite cuz I don’t have a clue what it means…lol
Mizrahi are Jews from the Middle East. Ashkenazi Jews are from Europe, mostly central and eastern and originally formed groups in the Roman Empire. Sephardi Jews are from the Iberian Pennsula and orginally formed groups around 1000 A.D. All three groups interpret and practice Judaism somewhat differently and have differing views on the Law of Moses and the Law of the Torah.
Thanks! I don’t know much about Jews, with the exception they only believe in Old Testament if anything.
I am friends with several ethnic Jews and even a few practicing Jews. I’ve been to Synagogue before. It’s an interesting faith and all of my Jewish friends are extremely intelligent. I even know a retired Jewish firefighter who became a chief. It’s an odd combination but he made it work. He was a good guy too.
Let me start by saying, I don’t judge a person based on their religious beliefs, but rather how they treat me. I think everyone is entitled to believe whatever they want, but their rights end where another’s begins. I find religion very interesting. I sometimes wish I had more faith in a God who cared about my daily affairs, and while I still struggle with some aspects of it. I think I have determined that I believe in me. The power to change or act rests within me. I don’t believe in an afterlife.
If there is a Creator, he designed me, so he gave me enough sense to determine right from wrong without becoming part of a social club. If there is fault in me, He created me. He knows those faults. I still pray, but it is more of a meditation, more of asking for understanding, trying to understand things I cannot prove.
Please don’t misunderstand me, I know some people require that, it does much good for some, just not me. I still support “some” religious organizations. I am just not part of the social club.
They follow two books: the Torah and the Talmud. The Torah, also known as the Jewish Bible, contains the primary five ‘law’ Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy, then the books dealing with Prophets (Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel), and then the books dealing with Writings (Ecclesiastes, Songs). The names are not an exact translation to English in some cases. But most of it is what Christians know as the Old Testament. The Talmud is the oral tradition, explaining the laws, as passed down by Moses. It is difficult and requires a lot of study. And you need to know Hebrew in order to understand it as well. That is whay after regular school, kids go to Schul (Synagogue), to learn their religion.
Also, Yiddish language, which is based on German, is easy to learn and is often hilarious. I lived with my Jewish relatives in New York periodically over my life, so you pick it up. In fact, I just visited with them. Jewish politics is also fascinating, to me, because it is so complex, has so many different branches and parties and schools of thought. The orthodox Chabad Lubavitch, for just one example, have an incredible history. Some of it scandalous. There is a Chabad community in Columbia, very small. That is one thing I don’t like about living here, there is little to no Jewish influence, and it is a big part of my life. Jewish-American history in the 20th century ranges from gangsters to the mafia to the building of Hollywood, Miami, New York, Las Vegas, to the creation of the atomic bomb, intellectual leadership on both the left and right, to radical groups in the 70s, to advances in medicine, just everything has involved a Jew at some point, lol. There are radical groups like the Jewish Defense League, which was headed by Meir Kahane, who was assassinated by a terrorist who was linked to the Mosque that was operational in the lead up to 9/11. Kahane fought the KKK from marching in Skokie, Illinois, sometimes physically, and the next time you watch Blues Brothers, you will see reference to that. Awesome history.
“Meir Kahane”
I believe his group was branded as terrorist by the Israeli government.
” It certainly does not play into mine.”
Yeah – I think you are correct – you seem a bit wiser than me – I let my emotions get the best of me – especially on this site.
“You are still on here using the same insults and spewing the same filth that you were this morning, and still humiliating yourself. ”
Yet you thought nothing of upvoting Squishy for calling me a cunt – I’ll start calling you that form now on, huh?
You don’t have to repost everyone’s–because you are arguing with everyone–comments, but please continue because it makes you look stupid. And yes I upvoted it, you deserve to be called that and more given the filth that spews out of your mouth. You have nothing of any thoughtful import to say, but please do keep on humiliating yourself.

LOL
BB – you upvote and side with the most hateful creature on this site. SCBlues and I don’t often agree, but that person is capable of agreeing. More than I can say about your bud GT ;)
Hey I call them as everyone sees them.
oooops! :)
You speak like such a lovely lady.
She’s Madame DeFarge.
yikes
You can have him, any day of the week and twice on Sunday !!!! LOL

Sadly, FITS…there is really not much difference between you and Clyburn. And a majority of your followers are as ignorant as Clyburn…and some even more extremist leftist…
Liberalism is like any filth It has to be aggressively and FEROCIOUSLY attacked. You cannot giggle and hold hands w/ the Devil- as FITS attempts…and think you can be clean…
Pop culture- for fear of retribution- frolicks w/ Clyburn..and the FITS website is a FINE example of that kinship…and the epitome of the hate and corruption that results…
This all true, however you can’t conduct yourself in the same manner as an animalistic and profane Ferguson FTP protester (like you do) and claim to hate Clyburn, either.
Ramble ignorance much?
Confirm my point with diversion much?
We need to add Ramble to that list ;)
Fuck off clyburn!! You are a racist dickweed!
“The problem we’ve got is that a climate has been created in the country that’s causing these things to occur all over,” Clyburn said on MSNBC’s ‘Hardball.’
————
…and we all know climate change is a liberal hoax.
What’s sad…75% of the stupid F*#king liberals will see your comment as logical and valid…and go out and push your ignorance as fact, in the streets..and the media will pick it up as Gospel…to sell to your Dumb-F*#k voters…who buy into it…
That’s Democrat politics…textbook…
Wow! 75% of all liberals out on the streets, pushing euwe’s ignorance.
How much does an oz of that go for in Irmo these days?
I saw Clyburn on two national NEWS shows today. He comes across as an ignorant bigoted racist. Does this man not have any advisers that know any other response than the “race card?”
He needs to be off TV until he learns that it is no longer 1963.
You are 100% correct. He is absurdly ignorant…yet he’s treated like a dignified king by the media, and the dolts on the left…
But Republicans, who actually care about the country, and fellow Americans, are HATED by the same fools in the media and the DNC robots…
Yes so absurdly ignorant he kicks the repuiblicans at the polls year after year. lol
John, before you extol his brilliance, take a close look at his district. That’s sort of the point of this, if his district were not so gerrymandered he’d never win.
Ol’ Enos is complaining about gerrymandering? Has he seen a map of his district? I believe it actually goes between white people’s houses to reach a housing project. If it weren’t for gerrymandering he’d be selling used cars to old black women in Orangeburg.
You do know that the white Republicans in the SC Statehouse draw Clyburn’s district, don’t you?
Or, do you think he draws his own?
gerrimandering isn’t concerned with more than gerrimandering. hmmm….
“You do know that the white Republicans in the SC Statehouse draw Clyburn’s district, don’t you?”
It is always a Black and White issue with Squishy – you know that. It is always the same ones on here every time Fits posts a photo or article about a black person – but you are not allowed to mention it – if you do then you are playing the race card . . .
Fits, if we wire all cops with pictures and sound and continue to make it more and more difficult for cops to do their job, then good, quality, highly trained officers are going to shy away from that kind of employment. Then, who’s going to protect the hardworking, taxpaying citizens. What’s needed is effect laws that deter criminals from abusing the laws. Why not enact a laws like if you attack and officer of the law, it’s an automatic sentence of 3/5/7 years in prison (just like robbing a bank); if you fail to obey an officer or threaten him, automatic I year; death if you kill one, etc. We are too easy on criminals, always trying an seek outlet for them for whatever crime. Judges put harden criminals back on the street to continue their sordid, criminal lifestyle. The Charleston unfortunate problem has gotten more attention statewide and nationally than the killing of the young lady in the Columbia bakery who had 4 very young children. Course she was white and Scott was black and that makes a lot of difference today. If more people were worked/gainfully employed and challenge a little each day, it might help things a little. Bet that last sentence with the word “worked” in it scared the hell out of many on this board. By the way, most cops are good and do an honorable job in protecting its citizens but there will always be a few bad apples who abuse the authority given them.
So you say that “Also last time we checked ALEC – like FITS – supports legislation which would wire all cops”.
By “support” do you mean ‘quiet support’? Do you have any evidence to share of ALEC attempting to sway legislation on surveillance of police officers?

Piss On Clyburn. The man is a walking dumbass pig shit.
“The problem we’ve got is that a climate has been created in the country that’s causing these things to occur all over,” Clyburn said on MSNBC’s ‘Hardball.’

The Koch brothers may be upstanding people in New York but they are funding…
The Koch brothers.
Is there any type of “climate change” that they can’t do?
I wish Big Jim would publicly comment on a lot more controversial matters. The froth spewing from the maws of the mouthbreathers is a wonder to behold.
We have to listen to Joe-Means-No-Jobs Wilson; they should have to listen to Big Jimbo.
“They are the ones that have been drawing up these unfair redistricting plans.”
That’s some world class chutzpa right there, Chief.
LOL – can you imagine I was so passionate about school choice at one time, I called his office. Pretty sure I spoke with him, while it was obvious he didn’t agree with me, listened to my opinions. Maybe I need to make another call…
…
Thanks for upvote Shifty, I posted comment on wrong post, but did put it on one more relevant ;)
Cosby drugged him.
You’re right –– It is 100% irrational to think that government action that is at least partially designed to oppress minorities (e.g., gerrymandering and voter ID laws) has anything to do with the fact the police (i.e., the government) keep discriminating against (and killing) minorities.
The conversation is the police state verse the citzenery of Amerika….black and white brown and yellow….watch the ball the end of America is here now its Amerika
Mmmmmm … Don’t we already have several “fed laws” on this issue?
Beginning with the Bill Of Rights and on through various Supreme Court decisions regarding police standards of conduct (Miranda?) … plus all of the local/state unified rules of conduct …
I don’t know how decent, honorable and brave men and women in law enforcement do their job now. And this screw-loose grand stander want more laws? Between him and Sharpy Sharpton we might rather consider generic, national restraining orders against thes showboats.
They call them ASBO’s in England–Anti-Social Behaviour Orders. The person receiving and ASBO has to stay away from public places. It’s usually a yobbo who gets an ASBO. It is high time we have something similar here.
Those kinds of absolutes re social interactions are heard by a jury … as it should be.
I asked a shrink friend what the definition of “crazy” was. He said anyone who was anti-social was crazy, but please don’t quote him … :-)
Ya’ll realize that SC cops shoot someone, on average, every 8 days.
Mr. Clyburn should take the opportunity to say the following:
“My black brothers and sisters,
While it is true that there has been a rash of shootings by white policemen of black young men, we have a part to play in this also. While the establishment tries and convicts the murderer in North Charleston, we should teach our children to properly engage and be engaged by the police. After all, there are two things common in all these shootings: White cop, black man, and the black man improperly resisted arrest.”
But he won’t. He is a running dog lackey of the Democrat party!
Koch brothers are actually from Texas, not New York.
Clyburn’s brain is a massive flow chart in which all inputs ultimately lead to the race card.
Jimbo has been relegated to a butt boy since zombie face fell out of power. He is left with nothing to say or do so he watches the rat face Al and has figured he can become relevant by speaking shit.
Jim Clyburn is a race baiting idiot that feeds off of racial tensions. Unfortunately, Todd Rutherfors is set to follow in his pathetic footsteps. Listen to Rutherford race bait and you will see that he is a disciple of Clyburn.
We others had to behold the politically grotesque DeMint for years; you GOPers can just enjoy Jammin’ Jim.
While I agree Clyburn’s contention is tenuous, it is not as tenuous as FITSNews knee-jerk reaction would you have you believe. The only difference between a trigger-happy vigilante using a “Stand Your Ground” false claim of self-defense to excuse murder and a trigger-happy cop using a false claim of self-defense to excuse murder is that one has a badge.
Lots of cheap shots here blaming Clyburn for his gerrymandered district. FACT CHECK: the Republican dominated SC Statehouse draws and gerrymanders South Carolina’s Congressional Districts. How those districts are drawn, particularly Clyburn’s, is almost indistinguishable from the white supremacist Dibble Plan during Reconstruction meant to isolate and marginalize the African-American vote by packing as many African-American voters into one supermajority district. While our Republicans of today might not be card-carrying members of the KKK, they are still very much implementing and benefiting from white supremacist gerrymandering.
