SCFC BACKGROUND: The South Carolina Freedom Caucus (SCFC) was initially self-formed in May 2022 by former SC House Rep. Adam Morgan (R - Greenville). We were hopeful, but lost such hope almost immediately when we realized the founders / supporters were the remnants of the "establishment" players in Greenville that had helped perpetrate the 2021 Greenville County GOP ReOrg FRAUD. It was the Greenville "establishment's" answer to the founding of mySCGOP in January 2021 and the subsequent takeover of the Greenville County Republican Party (GCRP) by MAGA / America FIRST Patriots. This was most evidenced by the SCFC's backing locally in Greenville by Jim DeMint, Ellen Weaver, the NeverTRUMP crowd ... and apparently SCGOP RINO Chairman, Drew McKissick.

Think about it ... if you were really creating out of Greenville a legislative "Freedom Caucus", wouldn't you want to talk to the largest, loudest, and most conservative County Republican Party in the state ... the GCRP? They never did.

And it wasn't just the GCRP the SCFC refused to talk / work with ... it was all the other MAGA / America FIRST County GOPs & leadership in South Carolina as well. Adam Morgan, et al. had no apparent interest in talking / coordinating with any of the most active grassroots elected parties in the state ... but they talked with Drew McKissick and the SCGOP leadership.

Hmmmm ... is it starting to make sense?

THE NUMBERS - 18 members & 35 challengers???: On April 1st, 2024, Rep. Adam Morgan while campaigning for his failed run for Congress, stated at the Greenville County Republican Party bi-monthly meeting that the SCFC had 18 members, and 35 challengers all across SC. It was rather impressive ... and the crowd felt as if the SCFC was going to "take over" the SC State House under Adam Morgan's leadership as Chairman. IF ONLY IT WAS TRUE!!!

Well, flash forward a few months, Adam lost his bid for Congress and is completely out of office ... and Jordan Pace (R - Berkely) ... the member furthest away for the conservative epicenter of Greenville ... is the new chairman. At a press conference in Columbia a few weeks ago, Pace stated the SCFC had 20 - 21 members. How he was not sure the exact number we don't know ... but again ... IF ONLY IT WAS TRUE!!!

Well, now flash forward to this week's SC House organizational session ... and we now know the actual numbers.

17 total members ... 12 incumbents and 5 freshmen.

[NOTE: Soon to be 16 when the promised federal indictment of Rep. RJ May, III comes to fruition in the next month as stated in court documents by the SC Assistant US Attorney - (HERE & HERE).]

That is 17 out of 124 SC House members ... out of 88 Republicans and 35 Democrats with 1 vacancy. Not enough, by far, to do literally anything ... and it doesn't help their effectiveness that nobody in Columbia likes them ... and not many outside Columbia like them either given their arrogance and unwillingness to come to the table (yet?). Yes, the SCFC leadership has rebuffed efforts to coordinate with the most conservative grassroots elected county GOPs - presumably because they would be held accountable for their advocacy for things like 100% government-run private Christian School Choice (#NotConservative) ... and Democrat programs like the First Steps pre-K reading program they championed.

Hey ... the door is always open ... just walk in.

ANYHOW ... A WORD OF ADVICE: We all know politicians exaggerate ... fudge on the numbers a little (or a lot) ... but one word of advise ... if you are running an anti-establishment organization ... against people who do lie to us all ... DON'T LIE TO THE PUBLIC YOURSELF!!! We get enough of that from the RINOs ... and you lose all credibility.

The grassroots activist we spoke with about the real membership numbers, were shocked at the SCFC's "exaggeration" (to put it kindly) ... and some were not shocked given their alliance with Drew McKissick and the establishment

SC HOUSE "ORGANIZATION DAY"!!! - THE UNI-PARTY EMPLOYEE PARTY STARTS IN COLUMBIA TODAY!!!!

Today is the day ... the day the SC House holds it's "organizational" meetings and the day our elected officials in the SC House get to head down to Columbia and start the partying!!! The Senate will be there tomorrow. It is a massive celebration, with ZERO concern about the citizens and children of South Carolina. It's a party ... a UNIPARTY!

First up is the test of all tests - the re-election of far left POLITICAL ACTIVIST Bubba Cromer to the 2nd highest staff position at the SC House. WOW!!! That can't be right, can it???

We were the first to report on Bubba's DRAG QUEEN legislator Christmas Party two years ago. and FITSNews wrote about Bubba's NeverTRUMP and VoteKamala, endorsing Democrats over Republicans in local SC elections advocacy a few days ago.

WE have been told that the Speaker and others were "very upset" with Bubba at the "pre-organizational meeting" of the Republican Caucus to decide what would happen today, but as we teach, "Watch what they DO, not what they SAY."

And for anyone (like legislators) that says Bubba does not have any influence on legislation or who our judges are (note, Bubba is a DUI Defense attorney when not at the State House ... think #$$$$ and he knows all the judges) .... see the header image above. TEAM SC? "[w]orking with [Bubba] and many others to make positive difference in our state."

YES ... Bubba has a HUGE amount of influence ... Kamala Harris supporter type of influence, so let's watch today how "Republicans" will re-elect him to this powerful position and how any legislator that says they do not agree with Bubba's re-election sit silently or offer no alternative.

This we predict will be a #Election2026 issue for for some folks ... but stay tuned ...

FORMAL COMPLAINT FILED - RINOS & NEVER-TRUMPERS AT IT AGAIN!

Back on April 24th, 2023, 456 Greenville County Republican Party (GCRP) County Delegates elected Jeff Davis (Chairman of mySCGOP and the then current GCRP Chairman) as the State Executive Committeeman to represent Greenville County at the State EC meetings in Columbia.

It was a huge victory against all odds given that the SCGOP (i.e., Chairman Drew McKissick) had in an unprecedented and likely illegal move, taken over the 2023 GCRP County ReOrg & Convention process. Drew essentially put his same allies that committed the documented 2021 GCRP ReOrg FRAUD in charge of the 2023 GCRP ReOrg "Attempted Steal" ... to make sure it was run "properly". Yes, go figure.

Davis has been improperly "barred" from the State EC meetings ever since ... a longer story we previously reported on (mySCGOP News June 19th, 2023 ) ... but Davis has never been barred when it came to LEGALLY REQUIRED and STATUTORY DUTIES of the SCGOP State Executive Committee. For example, Davis was allowed as the GCRP Chairman in all the 2022 primary election protests & appeals meetings to vote on behalf of Greenville County (when Greenville did not have a State EC).

But on August 24th ... SCGOP Chairman Drew McKissick (& new "interim" SCGOP Executive Director Leighton Gray Smith) took it a step further and "barred" Davis from the statutorily required election of the SCGOP Presidential Electors.

We already know that Drew McKissick and his RINO #NeverTRUMP allies tried to "tank" TRUMP at the RNC Convention in Milwaukee ... it is largely why the SC Delegation was seated in the far back, behind GUAM ... but is Drew McKissick trying to "tank" the election of TRUMP by creating a legal issue around the selection of the SCGOP Presidential Electors??? If South Carolina's 9 SCGOP Presidential Electors were not elected properly and pursuant to South Carolina Law ... could they be voided somehow when TRUMP wins South Carolina as expected??? The November 5th election is expected to be close ... and this could be the difference.

You should also know that SC Secretary of State Mark Hammond was actually present to supervise the August 24th SCGOP State EC meeting at which Davis was barred entry ... to presumably make sure the SCGOP Presidential Electors were elected properly ... so it is an important process ... and we presume Secretary Hammond was unaware of the dispute as Davis was barred from the building and unable to even let him know.

A formal appeal letter has been filed with the SCGOP (see below) ... and as expected it has been crickets thus far from Drew McKissick. Next steps are to take this to the Republican National Committee (RNC), the TRUMP Campaign (who already don't like Drew), SC Secretary of State Mark Hammond, SC Attorney General Alan Wilson & the US Attorney's Office in Columbia.

It is incredible the lengths the RINOs, #NeverTRUMPERs & their leader Drew McKissick will go.

Stay tuned ...

Dueling RNC Slates from SC

After the 2020 election "steal" the country was faced with 'Dueling Electors' from reportedly 7 states. One set based on the announced votes ... a second set contesting their respective states announced vote and mobilized to cast their vote for President TRUMP.

Well, it looks like South Carolina will be sending a set of "Dueling Committee Members" to the RNC National Convention in Milwaukee this coming July 15th-18th. It is an interesting situation and reveals the efforts of the Nikki Haley wing of the SCGOP to disrupt the 2024 RNC Convention. We are all hearing about Nikki Haley's efforts in the national news and we watched it this past Saturday in Columbia.

Here is the background ...

On May 4th, the SCGOP held its State Convention to elect the remaining National Delegates & Alternates ... and per RNC Rules, an "organizational meeting" is required within two weeks.
On May 8th, the SCGOP sent out their 1st notice to Delegates & Alternates for a 10AM meeting on Saturday May 18th ... but there was no mention of any voting. We first reported on this on May 9th (HERE).
On May 13th, the SCGOP sent out a 2nd notice to Delegates & Alternates for the 10AM meeting ... but AGAIN, there was no mention of any voting.
One May 17th, the RNC / TRUMP Team sent out a notice to all RNC National Delegates inviting them to a 9:30AM meeting ... to VOTE on a TRUMP ENDORSED SLATE for the RNC National Convention. We first reported on this on May 18th as it was happening (HERE).
On May 18th at 9:30AM, the RNC / TRUMP Team held their 9:30AM meeting and 32 (our of 50) South Carolina National Delegates voted in lock step for the TRUMP ENDORSE SLATE.
Later, at 10AM ... Drew McKissick held his meeting ... and ramrodded through a slightly different slate. Curious isn't it? Curious "who" may have FLIPPED with Drew watching them?

TRUMP ENDORSED & ELECTED 9:30AM COMMITTEE MEMBERS:

Committee on Permanent Organization: Bill Oden (Sumter) & Lori Moore (York)
Committee on Platform: Verd Odom (Marlboro) & Gerri McDaniel (Horry)
Committee on Credentials: Glenn McCall (York) & Cindy Risher (Clarendon)
Committee on Rules: Drew McKissick (Richland) & Cindy Costa (Charleston)

SCGOP / DREW / NIKKI HALEY WING 10AM COMMITTEE MEMBERS:

Committee on Permanent Organization: Bill Oden (Sumter) & Shery Smith White (Sumter)
Committee on Platform: Chad Connelly (Newberry) & LaDonna Ryggs (Spartanburg)
Committee on Credentials: Glenn McCall (York) & Cindy Risher (Clarendon)
Committee on Rules: Drew McKissick (Richland) & Cindy Costa (Charleston)

SO WHAT IS DIFFERENT? - THE PLATFORM COMMITTEE!!!

Chad Connelly (the current Newberry State EC, former SCGOP Chairman & Drew McKissick's Mentor) has not been a big TRUMP Supporter, certainly after he "separated" from the RNC after TRUMP was sworn in in 2017 and while by all accounts helping Ron DeSantis' last ditch efforts here in SC to overthrow TRUMP in the 2020 Republican Primary.

And LaDonna Ryggs, (Spartanburg & Drew's SCGOP "paid Director" in the 2021 Greenville ReOrg FRAUD), was the NC & SC State Director for the Ted Cruz for President Campaign and we all know what those folks tried to do in the 2016 RNC Convention to remove TRUMP. Folks don't forget those #NeverTRUMP betrayals no matter what their revisionist history may be!!!

This is a developing story but our money is on the RNC / TRUMP Team winning this battle against the Nikki Haley Wing of the South Carolina Republican Party so stay tuned ...
