BREAKING: South Carolina Democrats demand that the state's Republican Gov. Henry McMaster apologize for jaw-droppingly violent remarks made at a recent GOP convention. Over the weekend, McMaster told an audience that he looks "forward to the day that democrats are so rare, we have to hunt them with dogs.” The comment was clearly designed to evoke images of Republicans chasing and shooting Democrats dead — a horrifying suggestion during a time when political violence is on the rise. In the south, it's undeniable that his words could be also be construed as a call for lynchings. Over and over again we see Republican voters taking their fetishized guns and carrying out violent, murderous acts after seeing some deranged conspiracy theory on Fox News or hearing some GOP politician spew hatred. The Democratic Party in Anderson and Charleston counties have put out a petition on the DNC website calling on the governor to “apologize and retract this racially-tinged dog whistle.” If he fails to apologize, Democrats want the South Carolina State Law Enforcement Division to “open an investigation into this threat and incitement of political violence.” Retweet if you think that we should skip the apology and move right to the investigation!
@OccupyDemocrats @pattydenke “In an emailed response to the Greenville News, McMaster's communications director, Brandon Charochak, said the governor meant the comment as a 'joke’.” Classic GQP “excuse.” greenvilleonline.com/story/news/pol…
@OccupyDemocrats Over & over again they call for violence against Democrats & Democracy, but yet when we fire back we are censored? Why????
@OccupyDemocrats Oh but it's OK for YOUR President to talk like that about Republicans...ya I got ya.🤬
@OccupyDemocrats Don't like him, don't vote for him.
@OccupyDemocrats @Justadog_836 Rare, was he talking about cooking them.
@OccupyDemocrats You will hear no condemnation from the other former Republican president and isn't that part of the problem?

@OccupyDemocrats @Thejude99 Why are they all so mean spirited and vile? It’s like they’re trying to out do one another…who can be the most atrocious.
