Joe release the recording about me asking you to support Judge Anderson. If true, I will shut down DOGESC. If false, step down. As a veteran , I respect you. But when u lose your integrity to stay in office , it is time to step down and not embarrass yourself.
Or maybe Rom should share with us how he claims to know any of this – is he having private conversations with Judge Anderson while having business before his court?
Duh if you read the article it says three credible sources came to him. Nice try to counter a very real offer with a weak comment. I support Nancy Mace for Governor but appreciate Mr. Reddy calling out this back room shakedown attempt. More sunlight please.
I don’t think you know what blackmail means. Even if true, he simply told him “I’m not voting for you because you ruled that way which I believe was wrong.” Blackmail means you’re trying to get something. There was nothing left to get.
This kind of stuff happens all the time, and in the scenario described, it’s not blackmail – because the deed that apparently elected the threat was already was done, so it’s just garden-variety political retribution in South Carolina. Not that we like it, but this is kinda a non-story. There are all kinds of folks in the Legislature who are going to vote for or against someone, or campaign for or against someone because of something they did that the other did or did not like. In general terms, it’s not illegal and in slot of cases not even unethical.

3 unnamed sources, names or it didn’t happen

Correction: elicited, not elected.
