Representative John King

Elected member of the South Carolina House of Representatives representing District 49.

[Governor Newsom Press Office (parody) @AwesomeNewsom]

CONGRATULATIONS TO DONALD ON WINNING THE "I CAN'T WIN THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE BECAUSE I'M WARMONGER AND A CLOWN SO I ATTACKED VENEZUELA AND FORCED THEM TO GIVE ME THEIR PRIZE WHICH I WILL BRING TO ALL MY MEETINGS AND WATCH MY CABINET MEMBERS CLAP LIKE CYMBAL-BANGING MONKEY TOYS."

[Representative John King @repjohnrcking]

That “dog that hasn’t barked” is barking now. Epstein’s own emails mention Donald Trump spending hours with victims and the so-called “party of family values” is silent. Silence from the powerful isn’t innocence it’s complicity. #Epstein #Trump

This isn’t about money—it’s about access. $10,400 a year to serve 3+ days a week? Unless you’re rich, you can’t do it. Wes Climer’s lawsuit keeps working folks out of the legislature. That’s not democracy. #SCPol #FairPay

[Hamilton R. Grant @GrantForSC]

An unfortunate decision that could impact the legislative service to constituents. With community investment funds gone and now in-district expenses gone, SC is hell bent on not taking care of actual South Carolinians

[Representative John King @repjohnrcking]

This wasn’t about a “pay raise.” It’s about fairness. Lawmakers make $10,400 a year, serve at least 3 days a week, and work year-round. Unless you’re rich, you can’t afford to serve. Wes Climer’s lawsuit keeps working people out of office. https://t.co/Z0BDoImr9r @WesClimer

Democrats are kicking ass tonight

[Hunter📈🌈📊 @StatisticUrban]

VA Democrats unseated a 36-yr incumbent who represents a Trump +8.5 county tonight.

[Representative John King @repjohnrcking]

Thanks California

[Ted Lieu @tedlieu]

We don’t just have a #bluewave, we have a #BlueTsunami.

Democrats won by MASSIVE margins in four states:

Virginia
New Jersey
Pennsylvania
California

The American people sent a clear message to Trump and Republicans:

WE. WILL. NOT. YIELD.

[Representative John King @repjohnrcking]

Tonight was a referendum.
Voters rejected hate, division, and Trump’s agenda. Forward wins.

[Representative John King @repjohnrcking]

Democrats won across the board tonight.
Prop 50 passed in California.
The voters rejected Trumpism.
We’re moving forward — not back.

[Hamilton R. Grant @GrantForSC]

These numbers are terrifying. Richland County has the highest number of participants for SNAP benefits and could see 49,277 lose them.

We need our government to work for us and not starve us!

[Representative John King @repjohnrcking]

So we have $40B for Argentina, $1B for Trump’s Qatar jet, $250M for Trump’s ballroom, $150M for Trump’s golf, $520M for National Guard deployments & $172M for Kristi Noem’s jets - but ZERO to lower our healthcare bills. Got it! @RalphNorman @WesClimer @RepNancyMace @GrantForSC

[Representative John King @repjohnrcking]

@GrantForSC they don’t care

[Hamilton R. Grant @GrantForSC]

The Republican led anti-vaccination rhetoric is taking a toll on our children in South Carolina. This is what happens when unqualified people ignore science and modern medicine. Republicans are making South Carolina Sick Again 🤦🏾‍♂️

[Representative John King @repjohnrcking]

He has kept his promise

[Rep. Jim McGovern @RepMcGovern]

Trump airlines? Shut down.
Trump casinos? Shut down.
Trump steaks? Shut down.
Trump vodka? Shut down.
Trump university? Shut down.

Donald Trump has kept his promise to run our government like he ran his companies: shut down, with unpaid workers & blaming everyone but himself.

@repjohnrcking @AprilCromerSC Hey April, how much govt welfare did you take again? And how many bills have you written and passed during your tenure in the SC House?

[Representative John King @repjohnrcking]

@AprilCromerSC thinks ending DEI means attacking tenure? What does tenure have to do with DEI? And what exactly has been “infected”? Name names. Truth is, she’s mad a person of color got a contract she wanted. Cromer cashed in PPP $$ + state contracts what more does she need?

[Hamilton R. Grant @GrantForSC]

@TravRobertson It’s time to call our their hypocrisy that’s on full display daily

[Representative John King @repjohnrcking]

Don’t expect a damn thing from those fake Christians

[Hamilton R. Grant @GrantForSC]

*looks around to see what members of the GOP condemned this*

[Representative John King @repjohnrcking]

@RalphNorman Instead of focusing on building a vision for South Carolina, you’ve chosen to weaponize your campaign by targeting qualified Black leaders. That’s not leadership—that’s desperation. SC deserves solutions, not scapegoating.

[Hamilton R. Grant @GrantForSC]

@RalphNorman Gubernatorial campaign is so trash, he has to target capable and qualified black men. Maybe if he put the same energy in keeping the govt open that he does with wanting @repjohnrcking & Solicitor Byron Gipson fired, we wouldn’t be having a GOP GOVT Shutdown 🤦🏾‍♂️

[Representative John King @repjohnrcking]

We stand with you congresswoman @JasmineForUS @RepJasmine

[Isaac G. Bryan @ib2_real]

Jasmine Crockett isn’t low IQ

She’s a brilliant attorney who has a very low tolerance for mediocre white men who believe hurling racist insults at Black Women is a feat of strength.

We stand with Jasmine.

[Ro Khanna @RoKhanna]

There is an assault on the free speech of many Black Americans who have expressed disagreement with Charlie Kirk's views. Professionals at Clemson and Winthrop have been fired and HBCUs have seen increasing threats. @GrantForSC and I discuss the stakes.
