SCDP STATEMENT ON HENRY MCMASTER, DONALD TRUMP’S BIGGEST FAN
Columbia, SC – The South Carolina Democratic Party released the following statement today in response to Lieutenant Governor Henry McMaster’s longstanding strong support for Donald Trump’s candidacy, including his nomination speech at the Republican National Convention:
“In Cleveland two weeks ago, Henry McMaster proclaimed that Donald Trump ‘may be the only man equipped to win the ferocious battle ahead.’ This statement would be comical if the matter weren’t so serious. If Donald Trump’s lack of fitness for the presidency wasn’t clear before (and it was), the past several days have made painfully obvious how disastrous a Trump presidency would be for our country and for the world. Most Republicans have meekly fallen into the party line, lacking the courage to oppose this menace. Henry McMaster, on the other hand, has been one of the demagogue’s most enthusiastic cheerleaders. If Henry McMaster thinks that this dangerous divisiveness will be his path to the governor’s mansion in two years, he is in for a rude awakening. Enough is enough of both Donald Trump and Henry McMaster.”
