Question Pam Evette McMaster 2.0? SC Redistricting; blame Sen Graham
from The Charlie James Show Podcast
a callerDuring Hour 2, Segment 2 of The Charlie James Show on Tuesday, May 26, 2026, a passionate caller drove a segment that targeted establishment Republicans, questioning the future of the state's leadership and pointing fingers over the spectacular collapse of the SC redistricting bill.Summary of the Caller's Argument:The "Pam Evette as McMaster 2.0" Question: The caller sharply questioned the gubernatorial candidacy of Lieutenant Governor Pamela Evette. They expressed deep skepticism about her platform, framing her not as a fresh conservative outsider, but as an extension of the current administration—essentially "McMaster 2.0". The caller argued that her campaign relies too heavily on Governor Henry McMaster's endorsement rather than offering a truly aggressive, new direction for South Carolina.Blaming Senator Lindsey Graham: Turning to the failed mid-decade redistricting effort, the caller directed heavy fire at U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham. They accused Graham and his establishment allies of working behind the scenes to quietly undermine or dilute the aggressive, Trump-backed redistricting push. The caller voiced a common frustration among the show's populist base: that Graham consistently maneuvers to protect establishment interests rather than fighting for maps that maximize conservative power.Redistricting Outrage: The caller tied these two points together, claiming that the broader failure to pass the new congressional maps during the special session is symptomatic of an uninspiring, passive Republican leadership class in South Carolina that refuses to fight the political left.Charlie James used the call to pivot into a broader discussion on the split within the state's GOP electorate as voters head to the newly opened early voting booths today ahead of the June primaries.

00:01 All right, let's go to the WRD talk line. 800-9050-989. Let's talk to Bonnie Greer. Bonnie, welcome. How are you? 00:17 Well, she's got a good chance as anybody. um You know, a lot of people are concerned that it's just going to be four to eight more years of Henry McMaster. 00:34 Well, here's the thing though. mean, we've had all the problems that they're talking about in Colombia. Nobody's calling out who the problems are, and that's the Rhino Caucus. I want somebody that's going to be in there that is going to fight against this state legislature. Ironically, Pamela Avet is not going to be at the debate tonight at Wofford. Oh, okay. So we need new... 01:04 no blood what well i had no blood i think in a lot of cases is a good thing bonnie i appreciate it is going to george in greenville george welcome hater i think i have any and you know that that uh... i'm an irate voter i moved here from colorado i think i told you that once before and that that's really kicks me off and and and the two people of for for south carolina sent a message to that to blame for this number one is lindsey graham because he gave trough that way at of endorsements 01:32 uh... couple years ago to to support these rhinos who are in in the fit center right now yet linda graham did that he need to go and we've got even on your show last week she she danced around that question and she could have had me henry like master to to even the uh... more what she would with these legislators and then they she did she's applying for that so it's for south carolina sent a message to to house 02:02 in the primary. It's time for us to do that. There you go. I appreciate it, George. By the way, early voting has started today. And here's the thing, though. Henry's not going to push back on anything. 02:15 Henry's not, Henry McMaster said, everybody's talking about closing the primaries. We all forget that Henry McMaster said he would veto any closing, closed primary bill that hit his desk. He's not for it. That's why, because the rhino's on for it. 02:36 They're not. They hate it. If they were for it, it would have been done a long time ago. But speaking of Lindsey Graham, so over the weekend, I started noticing something. I started noticing all these people talking about this Iran deal and how it was a bad deal. do Iran deal bad, Iran deal bad. Well, Lindsey Graham attacked any potential, this is from the Gateway Pundit, Lindsey Graham attacked any potential deal suggesting that it would be a surrender that concedes dominance to Iran. 03:06 He said, if a deal is struck to end the Iranian conflict because it is believed that the Strait of Hormuz cannot be protected from Iranian terrorism and Iran still possesses any capability to destroy major Gulf oil infrastructure, then Iran will perceived as being a dominant force requiring a diplomatic solution. He said it would be a nightmare for Israel. Of course you did. It makes you wonder why the war started to begin with if these perceptions are accurate. This is another 03:36 Another time, another case of Lindsey Graham stabbing Donald Trump in the back. Another time he has done it. Now we all know that Lindsey Graham, biggest cheerleader for this war, demanding that Trump escalate offensive operations, expand the scope of the war to include Lebanon and encouraging South Carolinians to send their sons and daughters over to the Middle East to die in this war. 04:04 It can be recalled that Graham called for the U.S. to go all out to help Israel finish the job last year. So anyway. 04:13 Here's what I found interesting. So Lindsey Graham, he's like, Oh, this is a bad deal. This is a bad deal. is about it. Let me tell you something. Lindsey didn't, come here, come here. got to tell you something. Come here. Lindsey doesn't know what the deal is. Lindsey has no idea what the deal is. This is what Donald Trump said over on Truth Social, May 25th, yesterday. I laugh at all the Democrats, RINOs. ...
