Lexington Update … Rule 16(a) Double Standards
SEVEN Violations Not Pursued?
Friends … it is Friday, so if you are looking for Lawrence Lantz and “Good News Friday” we published it yesterday (HERE) because there is so much to report on the developing Lexington County Republican Party (LCRP) drama as SCGOP Chairman Drew McKissick tries to take out the duly elected leadership … specifically Chair Pamela Goodwin … which is what Drew and the “sleepy caucus” of the SCGOP State Executive Committee purported to do Wednesday evening at their 4th quarter meeting and before walking over to the Governor’s Mansion for a Christmas Party (HERE with background HERE & HERE).
Ironic right? A CHRISTmas Party with Governor McMaster right after a sham “lynching” of LCRP Chair Pamela Godwin.
The only State Executive Committee members to oppose the efforts? The America FIRST leaders from the state delegate heavy counties of Greenville, Pickens, Anderson, York, Lexington, Dorchester … plus Barnwell. Drew had already taken out America FIRST GOP leaders in Horry, Charleston & Oconee counties though sham and bullying efforts … picking them off one by one … but it appears Lexington is the last straw … he went too far this time.
How Did YOUR County Vote?
We are reaching out to other SCGOP County Leaders to see how they voted Wednesday night and will let you know. How did your county vote??? Let us know at team@mySCGOP.com.
Rules for Thee, but not for ME?
Chairman McKissick and his go along to get along “sleepy caucus” of the SCGOP State Executive Committee did what they do best Wednesday night … they ramrodded through a sham “lynching” of LCRP Chair Pamela Godwin under the auspices of her violating the “new” SCGOP Rule 16(a).
Here is the full 24 page package from the SCGOP Rules Committee (more on them later – and their unelected & “anti” School Choice LOBBIST Chair Tony Denny – HERE) which was handed out to County Executive Committee members for the first time at Wednesday’s meeting (HERE or below).
Yes … no one had any notice of this Rule 16(a) allegation … including Chair Pamela Godwin herself … and no documentation was provide to the State Executive Committee Body until moments before the discussion. That is your first hint to vote against anything this serious as purging a County Chairman!!!
The 24 Page “report”
24 Page “sham” SCGOP Rules Committee Package: HERE
What you will notice from the 24 page report … nowhere has Chair Pamela Godwin signed a single legal document. She is simply not a party to any legal action whatsoever (as required by Rule 16(a)) … but the majority of the SCGOP Executive Committee held her responsible as Drew McKissick led them to do.
We know why … but HOW could any “reasonable” person do that??? Because Pamela is the Chair and the buck stops with her???
Well … where does the buck stop with Drew McKissick and the SCGOP State Executive Committee members that voted for this sham “lynching”? Are they being selecting in the application of the Rules? See below …
SEVEN Violations Not Pursued
Drew Responsible?
Drew Vacated his SCGOP Chairmanship?
42 Page Lawsuit by the HORRY GOP Leadership: HERE
Last December 5th, 2022, the Drew McKissick supporting Horry County Republican Party “purported” Chairman (Reese Boyd), 1st Vice Chair (Robert Visconti) & State Executive Committeeman (Michael Connett) … all in their official capacity as Party Officials sued Roger Slagle, Barbara Treacy & Angela King.
Although Roger Slagle resigned as the Horry County Republican Party Chairman (and retracted it before it was #1 accepted per Robert’s Rules of Order and #2 the effective date) … Roger had not resigned his other official positions as a precinct officer or a county & state delegate.
Drew’s signature is all in the legal filings above as part of the evidence in that case … as well as information from SCGOP Executive Director Hope Walker … so he can’t claim to not know anything about it … can he?
So did Reese, Robert & Michael all had their “purported” leadership positions vacated under Rule 16(a)??? Nope … Drew McKissick did nothing and ignored it all together.
The irony … “purported” Horry County Republican Party State Executive Committeeman “likely” (we are checking, so stay tuned) voted to purge LCRP Chair Pamela Godwin whose signature is nowhere to be found in the Lexington court documents.
Rules for THEE, not for ME???
Counterclaimed filed in Lexington:
What Drew McKissick and the SCGOP Rules Committee also ignored is that FOUR “Counterclaims” were filed by the Defendants against the LCPR in the “Claim & Delivery” case which they used to purportedly oust Chair Pamela Godwin.
The SCGOP “missed” the fact that the four individuals accused of taking assets from the Lexington County Republican Party had themselves “sued” the LCRP via counterclaims???
NO … you probably would not miss that except on purpose as all FOUR of these individuals are part of the Drew McKissick supported “splinter group”.
Wouldn’t these FOUR lawsuits be clearly against the LCRP Committee of Discipline and as such would be automatic dismissals under SCGOP Rule 16(a)?
We have requested the legal documents filed in the four Lexington “Claim & Delivery” cases so we hope to have those specific details for you as well so we know what these four individuals sued the LCRP Committee of Discipline over.
Stay tuned … this is certainly not going away anytime soon.
[NOTE: Jackie Fowler also had a POLICE REPORT (HERE – pages 13-16) filed against her for allegedly absconding with the checkbook and banking records … and refusing to return them. Reportedly she stated she “threw them away”. Seriously?]
Last week FITSNews put out an article about the SC Speaker of the House entitled “Murrell Smith Has Lost His Ability To Lead”. (HERE).
Questioning the Speaker’s ability to lead was one thing (and we loved it) … but we found a quote in the article that “IF” all our MAGA America First friends would learn and truly understand, we would win this war with the RINOs … and Save America in the process.
Take a read … and maybe read it twice …
“Power, in an ideal world, is wielded by principled officials with the consent – and in the interests – of the governed. In reality, though, it is wielded by powerful special interests who use elected officials as their puppets. As a result, the goal of “governing” becomes advancing those special interests while doing just enough to fool just enough of the voters into believing you are still serving their interests.”
“The more the curtain is peeled back, though, the harder it becomes to keep the puppet show going… especially when the objectives of these special interests run completely counter to the will of the electorate.”
– FITSNews 4/24/2025
Do you see it? Do you realize that none of this world of politics is about the Will of The People? Do you understand you can’t trust any of them … and as we would add, especially don’t trust the ones you like? Didn’t we see this with what essentially every SC State Senator did to Treasurer Curtis Loftis on April 21st, 2025 … and their “railroading of US”? (HERE)
It is all about OVERSIGHT … by The People … by YOU … by US … and it takes calling out the “drift” to the center (or worse, to the left) we see with all good conservative elected officials … most within months of being elected.
Yes, WE are peeling back the curtain. WE are winning. But learn to trust your gut, learn to question everything, and learn to trust nothing as is necessary!!!
WE The People win first by knowing what this “game” (as they see it) is really about … and secondly by knowing this applies to ALL elected officials … including the ones you like … especially the ones you like. No one is immune.
If you will learn just that … WE can Save America.

4/21/2025 YouTube Live Stream: HERE
Yesterday was 10 hours and 15 minutes of pure railroading of the most popular elected public official in the State of South Carolina … Treasurer Curtis Loftis.
At the end of the night, “our” SC State Senators voted 33 to 8 in favor of S 534 (HERE) … a Concurrent Resolution on the “removal” of Curtis Loftis.
But none of this had to do with Curtis Loftis … if had to do with YOU … with US.
If you watch the video you can tell the utter distain our SC State Senators have for US and our opinions. We had over 400 simultaneous viewers on our live stream yesterday … all furious about what they were witnessing. Many had never actually watched a video of the proceedings at the SC Statehouse … never seen what really happens in Chambers on the live feed. Well, now they have, and now they know exactly how bad it is.
We have watched this for just over 10 years in our School Choice battle. Yesterday was no different. The Senate had it’s mind made up BEFORE the proceedings started … and nothing was going to change the outcome. It was all about the MONEY … and their petty vendettas … it had nothing to do with what is right morally, ethically, or legally … it was all a show.
Anyone watching saw the terrible opening performance of Senators Grooms & Goldfinch. We then all witnessed the brilliant performance of Treasurer Loftis and his representatives / lawyers. Curtis and his TEAM laid out his case and we all thought it was over … slam dunk … Curtis was vindicated.
Then the rest of the Senators got their “10 minutes each of Q&A” … and it became obvious the outcome was predetermined.
The final vote was 33 to 8 (with 5 excused absences).
But even the 8 that voted in favor of Treasurer Loftis … they all sat there relatively silent knowing the “fix was in” … just like so many times in our school choice fight. It was a railroading because that is what THEY all wanted.
This was not about Curtis Loftis … this was about POWER, CONTROL, MONEY … and petty personal VENDETTAS … and now a lot more people have seen it first hand.
Let’s hope this is the “Shot Heard Round the WORLD” for South Carolina citizens to wake up to the problem which is our SC State Legislature – especially the SC Senate. Not some of them, not a few in leadership … not just the ones who voted against Curtis Loftis … but (sadly) every single one of them. Silence is compliance. Where was any elected SC Senator FIGHTING for Curtis Loftis … or US … yesterday? They were all responsible.
NOW … get ready and watch the #FakeNewsMedia and everyone else who “benefits” from getting rid of Curtis will start to pile on. Watch some (who have been shafting The People as well) try to reap some positive brownie points out of this to help ingratiate themselves with the grassroots as they claim outrage and try to come to Curtis’ defense. None of this is complicated once you see the mental manipulation that goes on in politics in general, and SC politics specifically.
More to come on this for sure … stay tuned.

We talked about South Carolina being rated the most liberal “Red State” in the Nation by CPAC, Lindsey Graham … Drew McKissick / Ronna McDaniel … School Choice & K-12 Education Failures in SC … and the fact South Carolina has the highest marginal tax rate in the entire southeast – and legislators lying to us about it!!!

FITSNews Video (4/1/2025): HERE
It may have been official before … but it is undeniable now … Treasurer Curtis Loftis is running for re-election!!! We could not be more excited because Curtis is literally the most popular elected official in the State of South Carolina … and he is one of, if not “the” most honest. If you want to know about the corruption going on in Columbia & with our State Government … listen to Curtis!!!
Here is just one quote from the FITSNews interview to explain it all – and quote that we could not agree with more (from our own personal experience):
“If you stand up to the power structure, you’re going to get hit.“
-Treasurer Curtis Loftis
And standing up to the power structure in Columbia is exactly what Curtis has done for the citizens of South Carolina since his inauguration on January 12th, 2011 … and like others that have stood up, Curtis has been beat up unmercifully over it.
Literally, right now, certain SC State Senators (more on “who & why” later – but hint: Larry Grooms & Stephen Goldfinch) are trying to pin a $1.8 BILLION accounting issue that has nothing to do with the Treasurer’s Office on Curtis. It is utter insanity … and we wrote about it back on February 10th (see HERE) … but it is Columbia & South Carolina Politics (and corruption – that we are determined to keep EXPOSING!!!)
Thank You Curtis Loftis!!!
A huge THANK YOU from the grassroots activists to Treasurer Curtis Loftis for sticking it out for another term for the citizens and taxpayers of South Carolina. We know you didn’t intend to run for another term … and would like to enjoy retirement … (like the rest of us!!!) … but once you see the CORRUPTION IN SOUTH CAROLINA, how do you walk away? Good men, like Curtis, can’t walk away. Neither can we!!!
Thank you sir for not walking away!!!
