Todd Rutherford

Proud father, attorney, and Democrat representing South Carolina House District 74. Leader of @SCHouseDems and @FreedomCaucusSC.

I spoke against H. 4763, the “HALO Act,” which would put citizens in jail if they exercise their 1st Amendment rights.

This bill is unnecessary and unconstitutional. The 25 feet standard is arbitrary and it will lead to innocent people getting arrested.

[Todd Rutherford @RepRutherford]

The House just voted for a bill that will make it easier to arrest protesters outside abortion clinics. And @SCHouseGOP and @SCFreedomCaucus voted for it!

[Todd Rutherford @RepRutherford]

As South Carolina honored Rev. Jesse Jackson, people waited in line for up to an hour and a half to pay their respects. It was important to Megan and me that Teagan be here, so that one day he can look back and remember the life and legacy of a true American hero.

[Todd Rutherford @RepRutherford]

The University of South Carolina continues to define excellence in academics, athletics, and all that it means to be the flagship institution of this state. Go Gamecocks!

There are no satanic temples in South Carolina, unless that’s what you call your caucus meetings?

[South Carolina Freedom Caucus @SCFreedomCaucus]

🚨Democrat says “Of course” her bill allows mosques and satanic temples to get taxpayer dollars for security grants.

Then says conservatives who question this are “why they need a grant for extra protection.”

Gov shouldn’t fund organizations that destroy our society

[Todd Rutherford @RepRutherford]

I spoke against a bill that would have banned hemp products, like drinks and gummies, in South Carolina.

Why should government infringe on your rights and eliminate local jobs without a compelling reason to do so?

[South Carolina Democratic Party @scdp]

House Dem Leader Todd Rutherford breaks down House Bill 4760 and why it’s harmful.

This Republican-sponsored bill would make distributing abortion medication a felony. Republicans are advancing extreme policies that put people at risk. @RepRutherford @SCHouseDems #Scpol #Scdem

[Todd Rutherford @RepRutherford]

I hope everyone had as much fun as Teagan did today.

[Todd Rutherford @RepRutherford]

People in downtown Columbia tonight standing up for our democracy

[Todd Rutherford @RepRutherford]

I just voted for Sam Johnson and I’m asking all Democrats in Columbia to join me. You can early vote like I did at 2020 Hampton Street or you can vote on Election Day, which is Tuesday, November 18.

[Todd Rutherford @RepRutherford]

When Republicans give you lemons…

[Todd Rutherford @RepRutherford]

Political violence has no place in America. I’m praying for Charlie Kirk’s loved ones and for our country.

[Todd Rutherford @RepRutherford]

Reverend Darby was a good man. He will be missed!

[Holy City Sinner @HolyCitySinner]

Joseph Darby, prominent pastor and activist with a line to top Democrats, dies at 74 https://t.co/T8w0HIJ8yf

[Todd Rutherford @RepRutherford]

Great to see so many South Carolinians at the No Kings Rally! There is nothing more American than exercising your 1st Amendment rights 🇺🇸

[Todd Rutherford @RepRutherford]

Political violence must never be tolerated. It’s up to all of us to tone down the rhetoric and make it clear that we can resolve our differences peacefully. My heart is with the families of Rep. Hortman, Sen. Josh Hoffman, and the people of Minnesota in the wake of this tragedy.

[Jermaine Johnson 🇺🇸 @Dr_JLJohnson]

If there are credible threats, then tell us.

If you’re making it up, then you’re no better than @NancyMace as you both say anything to try to get elected governor. #SCPol

[Todd Rutherford @RepRutherford]

South Carolinians have the right to peacefully protest. Violence in all forms must be condemned — including when President Trump stokes it.

Where were you on January 6 when he incited a mob? Where were you when he pardoned them for assaulting police officers?

[Alan Wilson @AGAlanWilson]

What’s happening in California is lawless, dangerous, and completely unacceptable. Officers attacked. Property destroyed. Communities terrorized—while the left stays silent.

Coordinated protests are planned for June 14—Flag Day and President Trump’s birthday.

Violence against law enforcement isn’t “justice.” It’s a crime—and it will be prosecuted.

We won’t tolerate mob rule. South Carolina backs the blue and stands with President Trump. Always.

@Kash_Patel @AGPamBondi @POTUS @WhiteHouse @realDonaldTrump @Sec_Noem @KristiNoem

[Todd Rutherford @RepRutherford]

Praying for the families of those killed last night in an incident of gun violence at a home on Lincoln Street. This tragedy is every parent’s worst nightmare.

[SC House Democrats @SCHouseDems]

We need Keishan Scott in the State House!

Donate to his campaign today — and if you live in House District 50 in Lee, Sumter, and Kershaw counties, go vote! Early voting has started and Election Day is June 3.

[Jermaine Johnson 🇺🇸 @Dr_JLJohnson]

There is absolutely no place in the South Carolina General Assembly for this type of rhetoric. It's time for the @SCHouseGOP to act accordingly and stand up for what's right! #SCPol #New52 https://t.co/Q1iNBqJVCi
