.@SCETV should provide empty podiums for those who refuse to debate. Let the voters know in each and every video shot who failed to show up.

Many people in SC aren’t aware the Commissioner of Agriculture is an elected position but it’s an election you should be paying attention to because it’s easily one of the most important we’ll see this cycle.

As a 5th generation farmer, Cody will always have the backs of farmers and the people of SC.

He’s committed to protecting farm land and SC nature at a time of rapid development. He will support farmers and ensure production is kept local. He wants to Make America Healthy Again which starts with our food. And he will take back the land Communist China owns in SC because they should’ve never been allowed to have it in the first place.

Our farmers need us now more than ever. Cody is Trump and McMaster endorsed and cares deeply about our state, country, and future generations. The agriculture industry faces a lot of problems but Cody has the right solutions. I have no doubt he’ll do an amazing job and I’m proud to support him 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

You know what’s sad about politics today…

There’s this odd mindset that’s taken hold where, if you endorse someone else or believe something different, suddenly you’re the ENEMY.

Differences in political opinions are ruining friendships, families, and relationships.

What’s happened to America?

What happened to respectfully agreeing to disagree — and still being friends? Still being cordial at the very least?

The state of politics today is sad, and I think we can — and must — be better than this.

@BeijingBiden44 @RomReddySC I’m not supporting Rom?

[Gavin J. Smith @GavinSmithSC]

I mean, @RomReddySC isn’t wrong…

Nothing against Ralph personally (probably a nice guy, idk him) but he’s been in office for nearly my whole life… and what does he REALLY have to show for it? 🤷🏼‍♂️

[Rom Reddy @RomReddySC]

Yesterday during the debate, thin-skinned 20 year career politician Norman repeatedly called me a fraud. Earlier he did the same with several anonymous texts. Apparently this is his basis:

1) He claims I formed DOGESC and took money that was really intended for my Governor’s run. Here are the facts: DOGESC was 99.5 percent funded by me and the remaining small amount was mostly from my friends. This is public information. We developed forensic audit tools, regulatory audit tools and the judicial reform bill that passed with the votes of all 85 Republicans in the S.C House. When we decided the system was too broken to fix from the outside, we decided to enter the gubernatorial race using my own money. Even though I owned both entities, we had an independent appraisal done and the campaign purchased the assets of DOGESC which gave us all the tools we had developed. All DOGESC names were acquired and changed to Reddy for Governor back to inception. How do you commit fraud with your own money?

2) He said I built a wall and sued the government. Again wrong. I built a wall on my property - land that I own and pay taxes on. When the government stepped onto my property and tried to take it, I told them they could not. THEY SUED ME for jurisdiction. The judge did not give them jurisdiction on private property. I am blessed to be able to defend myself. Most people can’t afford to defend themselves against an all powerful government. As Governor, I will defend the property rights of every S.C. citizen.  Somehow that makes me a fraud in Mr Norman’s world.  Apparently, “Mr. Conservative” will take the side of Government against the citizen and grab private property. Like he took the side of government against the citizen at the disastrous Silfab facility.

3) He claims I was a “plant” by the establishment to take votes from him. Does it even make sense that I would plant myself with my own money?  Aren’t plants paid by the planter? As a career politician what he cannot understand is that for the first time in our generation I am trying to keep the office from being bought. 

Having stood next to him on the debate stage, I felt sad that a 20-year politician is so desperate to stay in power that he resorted to name-calling and attacking everyone on stage. Sad.

@RalphNormanFan @RomReddySC No clue! Not supporting Rom…

[Gavin J. Smith @GavinSmithSC]

@Jscottpace @RomReddySC @SCFreedomCaucus Well, that’s odd… I remember my friend, @RepAdamMorgan, founding the SC Freedom Caucus…

Ralph may have “backed” or been there, but it was Adam who launched SCFC, not Ralph...

[Justin Hall 🇺🇸 @justinbhall]

This did not happen.

[Gavin J. Smith @GavinSmithSC]

@Grandpa_Wes Most of us actually thought this was a really stupid line.

To be such a conservative, Ralph sure sounds anti-personal property rights.

[Gavin J. Smith @GavinSmithSC]

@harrisonjaime @AnnieAndrewsMD Lol she stands about as much of a chance at winning as I do at becoming 6 feet tall. Ain’t gonna happen.

But you know a thing or two about losing a race to Lindsey, don’t you?

[Gavin J. Smith @GavinSmithSC]

@Cjpearson Do you even know anything about South Carolina, man?

[Gavin J. Smith @GavinSmithSC]

How much was @JackPosobiec paid to post this nonsense?

I’m really interested to see the payment for this post on her State Ethics filing…

Because from what I’m hearing, he was definitely paid…

[Adam Morgan @RepAdamMorgan]

Insane & disqualifying for the AG if true.

Any receipts?
This would completely change the race.

[Gavin J. Smith @GavinSmithSC]

@RalphNorman Why haven’t you done in 20 years, @RalphNorman? 🤷🏼‍♂️

[Dylan Nolan @dnolan2000]

20 years in office...

You are the system that needs changing.

[CJ Westfall @cjwestfall]

I’m not buying this pay for play influencer crap.

[Gavin J. Smith @GavinSmithSC]

I think the guy who lost his Senate campaign miserably probably shouldn’t be the guy giving out campaign advice…

[Jaime Harrison @harrisonjaime]

Alan, SC needs a Governor who will do what is in the best interest of South Carolina, even when it means bucking the interests of others, including a President of your own party.

But you, Pamela, Ralph, and Nancy go right ahead and continue the competition to see who can kiss his ass the most, all for that “coveted” endorsement.

Leadership should be about courage and conviction, not political obedience.

[Gavin J. Smith @GavinSmithSC]

Exhibit A of spreading misinformation to try and prop up one’s preferred candidate 👇

@AGAlanWilson has been pretty clear in his support for redistricting… since… idk… try day one?

[Jack Posobiec @JackPosobiec]

Hearing the SC AG was calling around to kill the redistricting push today in hopes Trump would stay out of endorsing in the governor primary
