The most dangerous place in Columbia during budget week is between “Freedom” Caucus members and a television camera, as they work their hardest to try and generate social media fodder with nonsense, unvetted amendments.
But where was the Freedom Caucus when they had a chance to stand up against child sex abuse? We’ve got questions….
What did the Freedom Caucus know, and when did they know it, about the raid on their founder’s home, which according to media reports is tied to “‘child exploitation’ – specifically allegations tied to child sex abuse materials (or ‘CSAM’), more commonly known as child pornography.” Source: https://www.fitsnews.com/2024/08/06/investigation-involving-south-carolina-lawmaker-focus-on-child-exploitation/
Why, months after the raid, did the Freedom Caucus leader say there was “no reason to exclude” its founder, only to later claim he’d been suspended “some time ago?”

The Freedom Caucus even attacked media members for asking these questions that South Carolinians are owed an answer to!

To top it all off, when the Freedom Caucus had a chance to stand up for South Carolina children and vote in favor of an online safety bill, they opposed it.

The Freedom Caucus is trying to distract from their abysmal failure to protect South Carolina’s children with a budget sideshow.
Don’t fall for their antics. Demand answers to these questions!
