S.C. Dem Pushed Police to Vet Officers’ Social Media — But Doesn’t Vet His Own Staff

Jamie Harrison's top aides have a long history of anti-semitic and homophobic remarks

South Carolina Democrat Jaime Harrison, whose top campaign aides made anti-Semitic, sexist, and homophobic remarks online, has faulted police departments for failing to vet the social media accounts of prospective officers.

Harrison, who is challenging Republican senator Lindsey Graham, said it would be irresponsible to hire someone without first "digging into" their past public statements.

Just months before the interview, Harrison hired Bre Maxwell and Guy-Lee King to serve as his campaign's political director and communications director, respectively. Both Maxwell and King repeatedly used homophobic slurs online, with Maxwell tweeting the terms "******" and "***" at least six times from January 2012 to August 2013. Harrison, who did not respond to a request for comment, told the State that the matter "would be handled internally," adding that his staff's language "has no place in our state."

Oh, so his black staff members had used the "f" word repeatedly to refer to gay people. I thought that KTK said they didn't talk that way about gays?

In a key Senate race in North Carolina, Sen. Thom Tillis (R) has tested positive for the coronavirus, while his opponent Cal Cunningham (D), has tested negative. You really do hear a lot more about Republicans testing positive than you do Democrats. I tend to think that is not by chance. Democratic Party candidates for office have taken more precautions.

Just about every poll has shown Cunningham with a lead for several months and Cunningham has doubled Tillis in fundraising. The gap in the polls has been closing, though.

Because dems are cowering in their basements. Tillis will be recovered in two weeks and won't have lost out on a year of his life living in fear.

Maybe Cunningham has been shacked up with his concubine.

And they’re going to be closing even more after the news that broke tonight. Tillis got diagnosed with Corona and he had the better day.

Yeah, I would agree with that assessment. I bet that far right group wishes they had come up with those sexts a little sooner. There have already been over 300,000 votes cast in that election.

Cunningham is an idiot. I still want him to win, but he certainly will lose now, and he deserves it.

3 Former Astronauts Endorse Sen. McSally over Democrat challenger and astronaut Mark Kelly

Three former astronauts have endorsed Sen. Martha McSally, R-Ariz., ahead of the special election against Democratic nominee and astronaut Mark Kelly on Nov. 3.

"As former fighter pilots and test pilots, we know what it takes to get in the cockpit of a fighter jet for a test flight or combat: incredible determination, strength and grit," former astronauts Tom Stafford, Charlie Duke and Jack Lousma wrote in an op-ed published Thursday in The Arizona Republic. "That’s why we support Sen. Martha McSally. As the first woman in U.S. history to fly a fighter jet in combat and command a fighter squadron, she broke barriers in the Air Force and the military."

The trio also touted her record in Congress, including being ranked one of the most bipartisan senators last year and tied for the most bills passed into law.

"Just this year, she introduced legislation to lower the cost of prescription drugs, started the National Veterans Treatment Courts to help improve the lives of veterans, and she helped write the legislation that gave families and small businesses help to get through the novel coronavirus," the three men wrote. "Whether it’s helping secure funds for Fort Huachuca, leading on the Drought Contingency Plan, or getting Congress to pass land exchanges that give local control back to Arizona, Martha springs into action when her constituents reach out to her with a problem."

I didn't know Charles Duke was still alive. He was the 10th man to walk on the moon from Apollo 16 if memory serves. He's got to be pushing 90.
