On Tuesday we sent out an article about the Republican “Sister Senator” Katrina Shealy Billboards in Lexington. (HERE or image below.)

Responses were overwhelmingly positive … but we did get one … from a Republican “leader” … that was not.
Now, we don’t want to dox this person by sharing his name, etc. … but it is a good example that there are folks within the SCGOP Republican Party “leadership” that DO NOT BELIEVE in the base principles of the SC Republican Platform.
In this case, this gentleman … who is an Aiken County GOP Precinct “leader” (either EC or President since we don’t have “Precinct Chairman”) … and his wife do not support the new six-week Fetal Heartbeat Law.
Read for yourself …
BIG TENT …
Certainly, we are not all going to agree on everything … and if you want a successful Party you would want as many people as you can involved … the “Big Tent” concept … but you don’t want them in “Leadership” … do you???
This gentleman is currently just a Precinct Leader. He is pretty open in his opinion today as demonstrated by his email response above. But what if he is an ambitious guy and one day he wants a higher position? Maybe he wants to become part of the Aiken County GOP leadership … maybe Chairman or State EC. Will he be as open about his position on the Pro-Life Platform as he was on Tuesday, December 19th, 2023??? Will he campaign for Aiken GOP Chairman saying “I oppose the Fetal Heartbeat Bill”??? Certainly he won’t!
But know … there are plenty of SENIOR Party Leaders that feel the way this man does … but they would never say it today. This is why “VETTING” (HERE) is so important, especially at the precinct level.
And worse … believe it or not … there are “INFILTRATORS” (HERE). Folks that want to further their cause and feel they can best do that by pretending to be something they are not, getting on the inside, and destroying an organization the easy way … FROM WITHIN!!!
IN SUMMARY: Friends, VET your leaders … especially at the precinct level … and “Watch what they DO, not what they SAY.“
We want a “big tent” where all who are honest and open minded can come and learn about the Platform and grow … but we DO NOT WANT LEADERS that are not BELIEVERS in the PLATFORM.
How do you think this guy is voting at Aiken County GOP meetings? What do you think this guy is “teaching” his new precinct members? Is he teaching about a Platform which supports LIFE … or is he teaching them that it is OK to oppose the new Fetal Heartbeat Bill and still be a “leader” in the Republican Party?
We need CHAMPIONS of the PLATFORM as leaders … not folks that oppose it (openly or covertly)!
