The America FIRST movement had HUGE WINS over the past few days with clean sweeps in several counties.
> YORK COUNTY
York was probably the biggest win with an overwhelming victory in favor of Chairman Elect Larry Barnett and his team taking every position in county party leadership.
The York County Republican Party victory was particularly sweet after …
#1) An “anonymous” hit-piece mailer (now linked to Chad Connelly & the SCGOP … and it apparently backfired bigtime) was sent to York Delegates slandering Jeff Davis, his wife Olga Lisinska & mySCGOP … and
#2) Freedom Caucus Congressman Ralph Norman (who also endorsed Nikki Haley for President on 2/15/2023) sent an endorsement letter for the then current “establishment” State EC … slandering the America First group as “so-called ‘patriots'”.
Congressman Norman’s endorsed RINO candidate received only 12% of the vote.
#WatchWhatTheyDoNotWhatTheySay!!!
> DORCHESTER COUNTY
Dorchester County also had a huge win with the RE-ELECTION of State Executive Committeeman Joe Cali with a landslide victory 63% (to 37) of the vote. The America FIRST team rallied behind Joe … and also swept 27 of the 29 State Delegates as well. #GreatJob!!!
Joe was specifically targeted for VOTING FOR ELECTION INTEGRITY (and for simply talking to the “lepers” as Drew McKissick publicly called us in press articles). Establishment legislators came out in force with endorsements against Joe … but that backfired as well!!!
As in York County … it is clear LEGISLATOR ENDORSEMENTS DO NOT WORK!!!
Your local county GOP is there to HOLD LEGISLATORS ACCOUNTABLE. Why would anyone think that a legislator endorsement is a good thing???
Some people are still playing the old school political game seeking political endorsements … not realizing that times have changes. Truth & Transparency is the new new thing!!!
> BARWELL COUNTY
In our most special win, patriots in Barnwell County have been diligently organizing … working the numbers … and biding their time … and last night they finally had their convention.
Chairwoman Elect Billie Brant absolutely crushed it in Barnwell with a huge victory. Billie and her husband Roland have been steadfast patriots throughout … so we can not be more excited for their teams victory. Larry Hutto will be the new State Executive Committeeman … and we can not wait to see them both in Columbia at the SCGOP State EC meetings.
NOTE, these are not positions for life .. or family dynasties: The Chairman for Barnwell has been there from at least 2009 from what we can tell … and his wife was also the State EC. It seems it was time for a change.
Sore Losers?: We also did notice that the long term Facebook group for the BCRP (run by the outgoing Chairman since 2009 as well) was “paused” yesterday. We assume after the convention loss … but we will see what we can find out. You will find it is typical that after a loss, the old guard likes to take their toys and go home.
We can attest that at least in Greenville, the old guard burned the house down on the way out. The entire GCRP office was stripped bare of any paperwork and files … and the long term Facebook page was “rebranded” for the newly formed SCGOP Upstate RINO club.
> ANDERSON COUNTY
Finally, in what is most assuredly the most controversial county party election (in a good way) was last nights election of former SC House Rep. and now Chairman Elect Jonathon Hill … and the re-election of long term “thorn in the side of the establishment” State Executive Committeeman Dan Harvell.
Jonathon Hill famously was “kicked out” of the SC House Republican Caucus … so Jonathon was Freedom Caucus before there was a Freedom Caucus.
You may also recall that current SCGOP Chairman Drew McKissick and the SCGOP State Executive Committee (they should not get a pass) meddled in Jonathon’s June 2020 primary by sending mailers in support of his opponent.
The SCGOP hit-piece mailers FAILED and Jonathon was re-elected in 2020 … but it will be exciting times for sure to see the the duo of Jonathon Hill & Dan Harvell at the upcoming SC State Executive Committee meetings in Columbia.
#Winning!!!
[Note, Jonathon moved homes in 2022, thus changing districts, and did not seek re-election.]
