Charlie James breaks down SC Senate primary candidates and local politics.

What this episode covers

Charlie James: All right, welcome back to the program on Friday afternoon! Looking forward to the weekend, I know you guys are as well. All right, let me see. So over on the text line: "Charlie, I feel like about eight of these candidates have zero chance of winning or even getting 5%, but I think they're in there to take a few percentage points each to force a runoff to give Graham a chance." I'm not sure if these people... I know Mark Sanford, he's in it because, you know, he's an egomaniac. Mark Sanford's in it for himself. Let me see here, who else is going to be in it here? You know what? I mean, some of these people... I mean, Darius Mitchell, anybody heard of that guy? No. Glinda Gail Parker? Who is... who is Glinda Gail Parker? Well now, we heard a little bit of... but Samuel "Sam" Shepherd? We don't know these people. I mean, you've got to admit, you've got to admit: if nobody knows who you are, you've got very little chance of winning this race. I don't care... I don't care what you do, you know? Are... are some of these people... I mean, is their first foray, I would imagine, into politics going to be United States Senate? I don't know about that. Why don't you go run for county council or something like that before you jump in there like... school board, something like that. Yeah. So, I don't know. I don't know. I don't believe this is some sort of a set-up for Darlene Graham. But, we'll get to her in just a second. I want to set the stage here for something that happened yesterday at the State House down in Columbia. Germaine Johnson... Germaine Johnson is the Democrat running for Governor of South Carolina. All right? Let me repeat that: Germaine Johnson is the Democrat running for Governor of South Carolina. Well, yesterday he announced his Lieutenant Governor, okay? That's inconsequential. What is consequential is who he was introduced by. And this is important. And listen, when you see things like this happen, and you can kind of connect some of these dots, you don't need to just discount them. You need to understand what's going on here. He was introduced yesterday by pro-abortion former Republican state senator—"Republican" in air quotes—RINO State Senator Katrina Shealy. Listen to what Katrina Shealy said in her introduction of Germaine Johnson: Katrina Shealy (Audio Clip): "...our Democrat candidate for Governor of South Carolina..." Charlie James: Wait, wait, wait, hold on! Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait! I'm sorry, what did you just say? Katrina Shealy (Audio Clip): "...our Democrat candidate for Governor of South Carolina, Dr. Germaine Johnson!" (cheering in background) Charlie James: "Our." "Our." "O-U-R"? "Our" Democrat candidate for Governor of South Carolina? "Our"? No, no, no, no, no. No, no. Let me tell you what she is: she is a full-fledged Democrat, ladies and gentlemen! She is a full-fledged Democrat! In that announcement or introduction of Germaine Johnson yesterday, she aligned with him. She aligned with him! Now the reason that that is important is because there's only one donation that we can find that has been made by Darlene Graham. Only one. That donation was to Sister Senator Katrina Shealy—the woman who just announced Germaine Johnson, the woman that pretty much single-handedly, her and the other RINO sister soldiers, Senate sister soldiers, shot down the heartbeat bill here in South Carolina. She's a Democrat. She's a full-blown Democrat! There's nothing conservative about her. And the only person that Darlene Graham donated to was her! By her own admission, they're best buds. Darlene Graham sits on Katrina Shealy's back porch and watches Katrina Shealy's pet donkeys. Drink wine—I think they drink wine, I guess, I guess they drink wine. Talk about family and faith. My butt! My butt! "Oh, we don't talk politics at all." My butt! I bet you do. I bet that's pretty much all you talk about. Let's go to Bill in Anderson. Bill, welcome! Bill (Caller): Charlie? Charl ...
