Lexington GOP Update & State EC Meeting
Simple Theft? RICO? A Criminal Conspiracy?
The SCGOP had their quarterly State Executive Committee meeting this past Saturday in Columbia … and it was a rather quiet and uneventful meeting (details to follow) … except for one major issue … the recognition of Pamela Godwin as the duly elected Chair of the Lexington County Republican Party (LCRP).
Chair Godwin won election in a landslide (75% +/-) against former SC State Rep, former candidate for SC Attorney General, and local attorney Todd Atwater (HERE & HERE) back in April 2023 … but like many TRUMP supporting County GOPs in South Carolina, some factions have been unwilling to accept the election of said parties and are seeking to disrupt party operations. #FollowTheMoney!!!
It also did not help that Ms. Godwin oversaw the censure of Senator Katrina Shealy (HERE) for her vote against the Heartbeat Bill (HERE) … something the SCGOP Resolutions Committee, as Chaired by Terry Hardesty, State EC from Berkeley County, has refused to allow to come to the full State Executive Committee for a vote.
Why No SCGOP Censure?
SIDEBAR ISSUE: Ask yourself … why won’t the SCGOP “Censure “the three Republican “Sister Senators” who voted against LIFE? And remember, whether Terry & Chairman Drew McKissick like it or not, “The Right to Life” is the #1 issue on the SC Republican Platform!!! (HERE)
Mental Manipulation?
I has been widely “misreported” on social media and via some questionable media sources (HERE) that that Chair Godwin had been removed from office.
Removed as in past tense … already gone.
RECOGNIZED BY THE SCGOP: But Ms. Godwin was signed-in and allowed entry to the SCGOP State Executive Committee meeting on Saturday on behalf of the LCRP … permitted to speak … all indicating that the SCGOP clearly recognizes Pamela Godwin as the current Chair for the LCRP.
As many know it has been the longstanding position of the SCGOP that a County Officer, elected at a County Convention, can not be removed unless they resign or violate the very specific provisions of the SCGOP Rule 5(e). Any local vote or local rules to the contrary are null & void.
The Anderson county Example: This SCGOP position on removal of a County Chair was made clear when several years ago the Anderson County Republican Party (ACRP) Executive Committee UNANIMOUSLY voted out then chair Cheryl Teague-Cuthrell … and the SCGOP refused to acknowledge the removal. [NOTE: Reportedly Ms. Cuthrell had attempted to cancel the local ACRP Executive Committee meeting claiming to need to be with a sick relative (and a likely vote against her) … but when it was discovered that instead of being with her sick relative she was attending the Greenville County GOP Bronze Elephant Dinner the same night … the vote was unanimous for removal.]
WOW!!!
SCGOP Rules Committee Guidance: Ironically, as part of the regular rule guidance provided to the SCGOP Executive Committee, the Rules Committee addressed a similar issue this past Saturday regarding replacement of Precinct Officers. Regardless of local rules, no Precinct Officer elected during ReOrg can be replaced against their will (except under very specific SCGOP rules exceptions). Simply stated, there are no “recall” provisions.
Like it or not … #NoExceptions!!!
WHY No Exceptions? We can only speculate, but if it were possible to recall or removed elected Party officials from ReOrg and County Convention … or State Convention for that matter … this would be going on all over South Carolina, all the time, and would likely become unmanagable. We can’t remove “real” elected officials here in South Carolina until the next election (yet) … and we can’t remove “Party” elected officials either.

Criminality?
Back to Lexington …. the “splinter group” in there has taken it to a new level. Two of the five elected LCRP County Officers (the 1st & 3rd Vice Chairs) have apparently stepped way over the line by ….
(#1) absconded with the LCRP Facebook page,
(#2) set-up a new LCRP website on 8/11/2023 (actual page HERE, faux page HERE), and most troubling
(#3) are soliciting funds from unknowing individuals.
Taking money under false pretenses … that is a serious problem … and perhaps a crime???
Faux Chair Election?
And to top it all off … the splinter group is purporting to have a new election TONIGHT, October 2nd at the same time as the regularly scheduled LCRP Business Meeting occurring at their long-term LCRP venue, the Lexington Chamber and Visitors Center.
As per the splinter groups Facebook post (on the original LCRP Facebook page which they have illegally usurped), this faux election will occur down the road at the Flight Deck Restaurant.
Lots More to Come!!!
Obviously if your intent was to support the old guard RINO “establishment”, creating this sort of division and confusion is exactly how you would do it. It is not something the old TEA Party folks ever did … but we are not dealing with the old TEA Party folks either are we! The Uniparty is omnipresent … so as we teach, “Watch what they DO, not what they SAY.”
We suspect there will be a lot more to report on the LCRP in the coming weeks … so stay tuned and follow the facts, the Rules & the Law.
Remember, Precinct ReOrg, County Conventions and the SC Republican Party are all ultimately governed by State & Federal Election LAW. If you think the “law” considers January 6th an “insurrection” … what exactly is going on in Lexington and places like Greenville and Charleston? These aren’t simple homeowners association or garden club disputes … there are serious legal and political governance implications at stake.
Simple Theft? RICO? A Criminal Conspiracy? (HERE)
Stay tuned … this will likely get very interesting.
#LearnTheirTRICKS!!!

There is a lot of “chatter” going around social media about “why” the Pickens County Republican Party (PCRP) and their 24 State Delegates were refused to be seated by the SCGOP State Convention Credentialling Committee on the evening of Friday, May 2nd, 2025.
A draconian move to say the least … even “if” the allegations are true … but the reality is this is just one more example in the series of “fabrications” to protect Drew McKissick, the SCGOP RINO “establishment” … and he monied special interest and their political consultants that are all selling out South Carolina and The People.
What is the fabricated list: (1) The 2021 Greenville ReOrg Fraud, (2) the December 2021 barring of Jeff Davis, as GCRP Chairman, from the State EC Meetings, (3) the fabricated stealing of the Oconee GOP, (4) the violation of HORRY GOP resignation retractions, (5) the attempted steal & takeover of the Greenville 2023 ReOrg, (6) the 2nd barring of Jeff Davis, as GCRP State EC, from the State EC meetings, (7) the Lexington GOP steal from Chair Pamela Godwin, (8) the Congressional District 01 steal from Chair Cynthia Jones, (9) the Congressional District 04 stealing of the Chair position, (10) the 2025 steal of the Charleston GOP Convention via voice votes … and now (11) the failure to seat the 24 anti-Drew delegates from Pickens.
Have we missed a few? Probably. It is hard to keep up with the fabrications.
Anyhow … very few people have actually seen the official documents from the PCRP Challenge … so here they are.
Take a look for yourself. Do you see anything that says anywhere that the former PCRP Chairman artificially capped the county convention delegates to 400? There are 33 pages of EXHIBITS … a ton of paper … but none state that the county delegates were being artificially capped at the 400 person room capacity.
The PCRP has put out there own initial response (HERE) … maybe that will help … and they have also posted the video appeal to the SCGOP convention body by duly elected PCRP State Executive Committeewoman Rhonda Billingsley (HERE). Rhonda did a great job, but it fell on deaf ears Saturday morning.
One theory … this has nothing to do with the PCRP 2025 ReOrg & County convention … it is payback for the 6-minutes of BOOING Senate Lindsey Graham at the July 2nd, 2023, TRUMP Rally in Pickens (HERE).
FEEDBACK: You decide. Is this Lindsey Graham payback? Review the documents yourself. Do you see something we are missing? We don’t see it … but if you do, send us an email to team@mySCGOP.com.

It is a saying that has only been around for about 2,500 years, but one of the main principles of WAR is to “Know Yourself, Know Your Enemy”.
Sun Tzu (HERE), the the great Chinese military general, strategist, philosopher, and writer, said it best …
“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”
– Sun Tzu, The Art of War – 512 BC
Now, realize Sun Tzu was speaking a bit deeper as it relates to knowing your strengths and weaknesses, as well as those of your enemy … but it is also important to know exactly “who” your enemy is … by name.
Being able to identify the enemy has been a failure of the America First movement in South Carolina in that many of us are new to the scene. We believe them when they tell us what we want to hear, and we believe them when they tell us they are Christians and quote a Bible verse. WE believe them because we can not comprehend someone we know and see at the grocery store would outright lie to us. #WakeUP!!!
As Steve Bannon says … “They have been lying to us, and we have had a belly full of it.“
Now Bannon was talking about the Fake New Media … but the same statement applies to the SCGOP RINO establishment.
So step one … from the SCGOP Convention on May 3rd, 2025 … here is the list of DREW MCKISSICK supporters that was printed out and sitting on all the chairs. This is GOLD!!! This is your initial list of all the people that need to be PURGED from the SCGOP, with extreme prejudice.
Steve Bannon also said that if you were not prepared to go to jail in this fight, you are not ready for this fight. Well, likewise again, if you are not prepared to PURGE these folks from the SCGOP … you are not ready for this fight either.
[NOTE: I will give one caveat … and it is the exception, not the rule. There are some on this list that simply don’t know. They have been duped. Everyone is entitled to REPENT and correct their way, but they must do it openly and honestly … and with full knowledge. Otherwise, they should all on this list “sit out” of politics for a cycle or two in order to reflect on their actions. A few years on the sideline might wake them up to how compromised they have turned the SCGOP.]
We all know the SCGOP is flawed organization … controlled by the monied special interest and their political consultants. Isn’t now the time to, as TRUMP told us … FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT!!!
Thank you President Donald J. TRUMP … and thank you Sun Tzu … and thank you to whomever had the idea to publish this list. Again, it’s GOLD!!!

The 2025 Precinct ReOrg process is now over … but #ReOrg2027 is right around the corner.
One thing we were taught at a young age … save your paperwork. For those of you at the convention, did you keep all those papers? For those not at the convention … wouldn’t you like to see the paperwork?
Below are the (1) Agenda, (2) Standing Rules & (3) Resolution Packet.
We hope you enjoy … and will use this valuable information to #WIN in 2027 for the MAGA America First movement!!!
A developing movement … stay tuned …

2025 SCGOP Convention Standing Rules (PDF): HERE
2025 SCGOP Convention Resolutions Packet (PDF): HERE
The 2025 Precinct ReOrg process is now over. It was a raucous 2025 SCGOP State Convention this past Saturday, May 3rd at the Columbia Convention Center. Free biscuits and coffee from Senator Lindsey Graham did not soothe the frustrations of the MAGA America First contingent … especially after their favorite Pickens County was disqualified over a “fabricated” infraction designed to take 24 anti-Drew McKissick votes off the table. (More to come on Pickens – but see the FITSNews Article: HERE.)
As in 2023 … the SCGOP “establishment” pulled every trick in the book.
Many first timers to the SCGOP convention witnessed with their own eyes the tyranny of the old guard establishment and their complete lack of respect for SC citizens. Many first timers witnessed not a single elected official in attendance stopping the overt ramrodding of the America FIRST SC Patriots … and in fact many of them celebrated it. Now Patriots know … and they saw firsthand Lt. Governor Pamela Evette & Attorney General Alan Wilson turn a blind eye to 45%+ of the body. It certainly won’t help them in the voting booth next June 9th, 2026 in the Governor’s Race … if they make it that far.
Regardless, Drew McKissick slipped back in by 103 votes, not near as close as the 16 votes of the 2023 SCGOP State Convention (HERE) … but after all the tricks pulled in Charleston, Lexington, Georgetown, PICKENS and other counties … what were we to expect.
Yes, some are licking their wounds (for a day or two) … but most are more motivated than ever.
We will be profiling more this week on the events of the 2025 SCGOP State Convention, so stay tuned … but in the interim, below are the County by County results in the top two and most critical races.
Temporary President Race: Jay Ragley (54.3%) vs. Rep. Jordan Pace (45.7%)
Chairman Race: Drew McKissick (55.7%) vs. Lee Bright (41.3%) vs. Denny Floyd (3.0%)
A developing movement … stay tuned …
