It has been a revealing few days in South Carolina politics.

On January 20, 2026, Chris Slick, the man I am told runs the political operation for the South Carolina trial lawyers, sent me a text message warning me not to go after his clients. He had already told me about his close relationship with my opponent in the race for attorney general, lawyer-legislator Stephen Goldfinch.  Specifically, he told me that  if I “go after plaintiff lawyers” he’d “come after” me.

Despite Mr. Slick’s reputation for vile behavior and dirty politics, I pray for him everyday. I am aware of his poor health.  While I don’t like his threats or condone his conduct, my Savior tells me to pray for my enemies. But He doesn’t say I have to like them.

Well, this is the person the trial lawyers trust to run their political machine. If you look at Mr. Slick’s own public social media posts, you’ll find someone who brags openly about behavior that most professionals would never broadcast, such as his “dream” was to travel the world, visit as many countries as possible and sleep with a man from each country.  That is the level of judgment behind the political apparatus attacking me.

Last Thursday, I stood in the State House lobby with Representative Joe White to support his bill removing the statute of limitations on illegal lobbying. I repeated what a sitting state senator said publicly on the Senate floor — that he was allegedly offered between $50,000 and $100,000 in campaign funds from trial lawyers to vote against tort reform.

Within hours of Thursday’s press conference, my campaign believes more than $100,000 was spent paying national influencers to attack me.

Then at 2:30 in the morning on Saturday, Chris Slick texted again, basically taking credit on behalf of the trial lawyers and promising more attacks. He said that I “will pay,” he’s “coming after me,” that he’s “good” at what he does, and he called me a “snake.”

Well, I’m not a snake. That was some gaslighting by Mr. Slick. My enemies are snakes. Snakes hide in the weeds. Snakes hide behind bots that comment on people’s social media. Snakes hide behind paid influencers. And snakes are easily disposed of with a shovel.

This is not about Republicans versus Democrats. The is corruption versus the citizen.

Republicans do not control South Carolina. Democrats do not control South Carolina. The trial lawyer uni-party controls South Carolina.

In the 2018 State Grand Jury Report, I outlined their use of dark money to interfere in a Republican primary so they could grab ahold of the Senate Judiciary Committee.

They are the reason we don’t have a judiciary chair in the Senate who supports judicial reform.  The current Chair of the Judiciary is their hand-picked man.
They fund candidates in both parties.

They block real conservative reforms. They keep a litigation culture in place that drives up insurance premiums, inflates costs for small businesses, and makes South Carolina less competitive than other Southeastern states that have enacted serious reform.

They are the reason conservative legislation dies quietly in committee. They are the reason the business community struggles under excessive lawsuit exposure. They are the reason insiders thrive while working families pay more for everything.

This is a machine built on money and intimidation.

They are pouring nearly $2 million behind Stephen Goldfinch because they know he will not threaten their model. They know he will not end state legal agreements that allow lawyers to weaponize government lawsuits. They know he will not confront lawyer-legislators who put themselves before the people. 

More importantly, they know I am the only one who can stop them.  And they are right.

They call me a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
Let me be clear.
I am a wolf in wolf’s clothing.

I have taken down powerful politicians.  I have exposed political empires. I am not afraid of their money, their consultants, or their 2:00 a.m. threats.

South Carolina deserves a government that answers to citizens, not to a litigation cartel.

The trial lawyer uni-party has controlled Columbia for too long.  It is time that we the people take control.

When a Freshman Senator had the Guts to Call Out an Alleged Bribe in Public Only to be Muted and Have Everyone Look Away

Last year, something happened on the floor of the South Carolina Senate that should have stopped everything.

A freshman firebrand state senator said a hidden truth out loud. I was not surprised that the senator from Berkeley County had the courage to speak the truth and call out at the very least questionable unethical behavior. After all, he is a lawyer legislator who has stood up to the establishment to fight for judicial reform putting his money where his mouth is by not voting in judicial elections. We need more in the General Assembly with his integrity.
So I was unsurprised when he stood up during session and said, plainly and on camera, that he had been offered between $50,000 and $100,000 by a lobbyist group for his campaign account if he would vote against tort reform. He didn’t say it in private. He didn’t say it anonymously. He said it out loud, in the Senate chamber, where laws are supposed to be made in the open.
Anyone who believes in the rule of law should have had the same reaction I did: how is that not immediately investigated?

What followed was just as telling as the allegation itself. The President of the Senate visibly lost control of the moment. He struggled to respond. When he finally did, he didn’t ask questions or refer the matter to law enforcement. He adjourned the Senate.

They disappeared for two hours. When they returned, they went on with business as if nothing had happened.

That silence wasn’t accidental. It was instinctive. It was the system protecting itself.

If an ordinary citizen accused a powerful interest of offering a bribe, the wheels of government would turn quickly. Subpoenas. Statements. Investigators. But when the accusation lands inside the club, the first impulse is not truth. It’s containment.

That is not how a healthy legislature behaves. That is how an institution behaves when it has something to lose.

When I say that, as Attorney General, there will be no statute of limitations on misconduct in office, I mean exactly that. On day one, SLED will interview every senator who was present that day. Not to embarrass anyone. Not to posture. To answer the most basic question a free society must answer: what happened?

Was money offered? Who made the offer? When did it happen? How was it communicated? Was it reported? Was it ignored? Those aren’t political questions. They’re law-enforcement questions. And the fact that no one asked them tells you everything you need to know about why corruption survives in Columbia.

This is why there has been such an intense effort by the good o'le boys to keep me off the ballot. I will bring an end to the era of toleration.

The good ole boys in both parties understand what comes next if I am Attorney General. They understand I don’t protect institutions at the expense of the public. I don’t confuse seniority with legitimacy. And I don’t pretend corruption doesn’t exist just because acknowledging it makes powerful people uncomfortable.

For years, my opponents have tried to brand me as a wolf in sheep’s clothing. That’s never been true. I’m a wolf in wolf’s clothing. I don’t hide my intentions. I don’t pretend to be something I’m not. And I don’t apologize for enforcing the law evenly.

If you think that moment on the Senate floor was an anomaly, you haven’t been paying attention. If you think it didn’t deserve investigation, you’re accepting a double standard that only benefits insiders. And if you think the system will fix itself without pressure, history says otherwise.

Corruption doesn’t disappear because people are polite. It disappears when someone is willing to confront it directly, document it carefully, and prosecute it without fear.

I’ve done that work before. I know what it costs. And I know why the establishment would rather stop me now than deal with what comes later.

The culture of corruption in Columbia didn’t grow overnight. It won’t end overnight either. But it will end, not with speeches or slogans, but with enforcement.

That’s what scares them.

South Carolina Must Not Invite a Child-Trafficking Corridor Into Our State

Fellow Patriots,

Before I say another word, I want you to understand something about where I stand. Renee and I have a charitable foundation that among other things works to reduce child trafficking in the US and other parts of the world. I have seen firsthand the broken bodies, broken families, and broken spirits left behind by this evil. It is one of the most heinous crimes against humanity. There is no pain like the pain of a child who has been trafficked. No amount of money, tourism, entertainment, or so-called “economic development” is worth even one child being harmed. The thought of intentionally building an environment that traffickers are known to exploit sickens me. We cannot invite this darkness into South Carolina. Not for a casino. Not for anything.

This legislative session, there will be a major push to put a casino in the I-95 corridor, likely near the intersection of I-26 and I-95. While I believe adults should have the freedom to spend their money as they choose, I am strongly opposed to building a casino at this location.

Why?

Because casinos across America and the world have become grand central stations for human trafficking including prostitution and child sex trafficking. It is documented. It is known. And it is happening right now in other states.

Security and law-enforcement analysis confirms that the sex-trafficking element of human trafficking is the most common form occurring in casino establishments, due to the anonymity, high volume of transient visitors, and the structure of hotels, entertainment venues, bars, and nightlife tied to casinos . Traffickers use these environments because they can hide in plain sight. Casinos provide hotel rooms, constant foot traffic, money-laundering opportunities, and a steady flow of travelers who cannot distinguish between legitimate activity and criminal exploitation. The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime has even documented how casinos support underground money-movement systems used by organized criminal networks, which fuels trafficking routes and conceals predator activity .
Other states are sounding the alarm. In Rhode Island, for example, the state’s gaming commission recently announced a formal effort to study the relationship between casinos and sex trafficking because the concern has become too large to ignore . This is not fringe speculation. Regulators themselves are acknowledging the danger.

Now consider what it would mean to place a casino at the intersection of I-26 and I-95. That spot would become the perfect trafficking hub for the entire Southeast. Two major interstates. Constant tourism traffic. Hotels. Access from every direction. Anonymity. Cash flow. Nightlife. Everything a trafficker wants in one place. Everything predators use to target the vulnerable. Everything criminals use to move children quickly across state lines without being noticed.

We already have a child-predator crisis in South Carolina. Our law-enforcement agencies struggle to keep up with the cases we already have. Our courts are overwhelmed. DSS is incompetent and overwhelmed. Our communities are overwhelmed. We cannot even manage the predators we know about. What happens when we plant a trafficking magnet right at the crossroads of the state?

Do not tell me that “economic development” will fix this. If we cannot protect the most vulnerable in our society, we have lost our moral compass. Do not tell me to trust a system that has already failed too many families. There is no tax revenue large enough to justify creating an environment where even one child is harmed. Not here. Not ever.

South Carolina must take a stand. We must protect our children. We must speak clearly and loudly to our legislators before this session begins. WE WILL ALWAYS PROTECT OUR CHILDREN AT ALL COST. Period . End of story.

I urge you to contact your House member and your Senator. Tell them that this casino proposal or any alternate casino proposal is unacceptable. Tell them our children must come first. Tell them no amount of money is worth the cost of innocence.

If we fail to protect the vulnerable, we have failed as a society. I know I will not fail our children. Join me in making that commitment and ending this madness.
