This guy is one of the worst politicians I’ve ever seen. Everything that comes out of his mouth is the most unpopular way to frame the most right-wing policies.
The real funny thing is he only has his Senate seat because of affirmative action, probably one of the most blatant examples ever, the previous incumbent resigned in early 2013 to take some lobbyist gig and he got appointed to it despite having only served in the House for a single term and had only been in the South Carolina House for a single term prior to that. So why did he get appointed over the many ambitious Republicans in South Carolina and all the other House members who were no doubt interested with much more tenure? I think it's pretty obvious.
