WORD caller Lucy in Greenville : David Pascoe - Democrat friendly and is Rom Reddy a plant?
from The Tara Show
During the Friday, May 22, 2026, broadcast of The Tara Show, Lucy in Greenville called into WYRD (WORD) with two distinct, sharp political theories regarding the brewing South Carolina Republican primary chaos:1. Is David Pascoe Secretly a Democrat?Lucy's first question attacked David Pascoe's political identity, questioning if his recent party switch was a genuine ideological conversion or pure political opportunism.The Context: Pascoe served as a high-profile Democratic Solicitor for years and was even touted for Attorney General as a Democrat in 2022. He only officially switched to the Republican party in April 2025.The Skepticism: The caller echoed Donald Trump’s blistering online attacks that labeled Pascoe a "RINO and total fraud." Lucy questioned whether Pascoe's jump to the GOP was simply a calculated calculation because Democrats have not won a statewide race in South Carolina since 2006, making a primary run on the Republican ticket his only viable path to winning the Attorney General seat.2. Is Rom Reddy a "Plant" Working Against Conservatives?Lucy's second question raised a conspiracy theory popular in Lowcountry political circles, questioning if multi-millionaire DOGE SC founder Rom Reddy is actually a political "plant" or spoiler candidate.The Context: Reddy built massive sway among South Carolina conservatives by funding the DOGE SC reform movement to gut government waste. However, he shocked the political establishment by suddenly dissolving his advocacy group to launch a Quixotic bid for Governor.The Skepticism: The caller questioned Reddy's motives, pointing out the suspicious timing of his organization giving Pascoe a "green check mark" endorsement despite Pascoe's long history as a progressive Democrat. Lucy floated the theory that Reddy's abrupt shift from a conservative reformer to a chaotic gubernatorial candidate—while backing party-switchers like Pascoe—is a deliberate play to fracture the traditional conservative vote and protect the established political machine in Columbia.
