fake news

As a former journalist myself, I appreciate the professionalism of The Chronicle in contrast to The State. Below is a letter to The State uncovering their bias.

It is sad that The State obviously incorrectly reported on the front page.

“two South Carolina congressmen” spoke on impeachment citing my colleagues Jim Clyburn and Jeff Duncan.

This is absolutely not true.

Both Congressman Tom Rice and I proudly spoke rejecting the outrageous Democrat impeachment hoax. Congressman Ralph Norman introduced a statement supporting the success of President Donald Trump.

I am grateful to provide for correction the floor speech I delivered:

“Over a month ago, on Nov. 14, I spoke on the impeachment hoax with points true then and still true today:

“After over a month of secret investigations into the administration, Democrats have now decided to open these controlled hearings to the public. This continues the deception by Democrats to mislead the American people.

“It is insulting. No Republican witnesses, no counsel by the President to participate, and full exoneration by courageous President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine.

“It is sad that, instead of focusing on funding our military through the National Defense Authorization Act passed only last week or passing the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement to create jobs, Democrats continue, having wasted $30 million of taxpayers’ money on the Russian hoax, now proceeding with a Ukrainian hoax.

“This partisan witch hunt diverts attention from the President’s successes. The unemployment rate remains at a record low; there is record job creation and the stock market again today, is thriving, showing that President Trump keeps his promises.

In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget September 11th in the global war on terrorism.”
