@mxhwd345 I’m gay, too? Please don’t come for me unless I call for you.

@GavinSmithSC Oh shut the fuck up. Gavin made a post using sexuality as an insult just a day before this and not a peep about it. I’m actually gay and this doesn’t offend me in the slightest.
English
Poking fun at someone’s sexuality isn’t right — regardless of what side of the aisle it comes from.
Enough with tactics like this. This is what’s wrong with politics today — that any of this has become normalized.
Have some damn decency.

@iamgavinjames @AnnieAndrewsMD Hey babe, if you’re a closeted gay elected official and you vote against your gay constituents, then you’re fair game. Why are you offended? Your party has been gay shaming for decades.
English
As an elected official who has been shamed for being gay, I find your ad — which we all know what you’re trying to get at — abhorrent and disgusting, @AnnieAndrewsMD.
Coming from the party of “acceptance” and “inclusion,” this is low and beneath anyone running for US Senate.
Democrats really will say anything to get elected.

AI political ads are unethical.
Making your opponent do things and say things they didn’t do is wrong. (Even if they “could have done it” or “did something similar”).
Many struggle to identify AI content (especially 65+ one of the largest segment of voters), and the tech only gets better and more realistic by the day.
Some of you may immediately think—“Ban it!”
Maybe. But the public outcry against deceptive AI-slop political ads should be so widespread and severe that it’s not worth touching.
Make using it the scandal that it is.
Don’t reward unethical behavior.
Vote accordingly.

No doubt. @DNolan2000 is one of the brightest people we know and has one of the brightest futures of anyone in South Carolina politics ahead of him. His contributions to @FITSNews have been hugely impactful, and we are tremendously saddened to see him go. Wishing him the best!

I am so excited that Dylan Nolan from FITS news has joined us as communications director for our campaign. Dylan is truly a good soul , smart as a whip and has broken so many stories in SC about the deep state that I consider it a privilege and honor to have him in our team. A true believer in our agenda and a patriot. Welcome Dylan. Rom Reddy

South Carolina… you’re seeing it happen in real time.
Lindsey Graham is being pushed into a runoff. That doesn’t happen unless the people are FED UP.
And I’ll tell you who’s standing in that gap right now. @MarkLynchSC
He invested $5M of his own money to #DumpLindsey
He’s not owned. He’s not scripted. He’s not playing the DC game.
He’s one of you.
This is the moment where South Carolina decides if it keeps sending the same tired politician back to Washington… or if it finally draws a line.
I’m watching this one closely. You should be too.

This week is my last at The State. At the end of the month, I'm headed over to @NPStrat. I've loved my time in journalism. I'm grateful for the editors and colleagues who believed in me, pushed me and encouraged me. Excited to try something new!

🌙🌴🏛️⚖️ While campaign season in South Carolina is heating up, let's not forget it's also CRUNCH TIME in the S.C. General Assembly for several key bills. Here's a great guest column from S.C. senator @WesClimer on one of the most important ones... fitsnews.com/2026/03/16/wes…

I whole-heartedly believe South Carolinians deserve a Governor who will be a partner to local governments, not a roadblock.
Which one of you are ready to be that partner?

Filing opened today for those running to be the next Governor of SC.
Over the next few months we’ll hear a lot of promises and see a lot of “policy” announcements.
We’ll also see steering committees packed with local mayors, councilmembers, and sheriffs (already have tbh)…

Leave this child alone. He’s a child for God’s sake, @BrilynHollyhand.

Children aren’t born like this. We don’t have a masculinity crisis in America, we have a fatherhood crisis. Boys are being raised by algorithms, activists, and screens instead of men who fear God and live with conviction.

@iamgavinjames @USDOL @abbydphillip @benfergusonshow You mean the Biden Admin put out numbers and allowed them to be revised when future data came in. Unlike the Trump Admin who is flat out fucking lying about not having the data and refusing to release it. Don't give us your MAGA bullshit, Gavin.
English
As the former Press Secretary for @USDOL, respectfully, @abbydphillip — the Biden Admin unquestionably lied about the job numbers.
Happy to come on and explain. It’s actually very easy and @benfergusonshow is 100% right!
They lied. And they lied BIG!
