    SC Democrats call on their party's US Senate nominee to quit (msn.com)

    "Sitting in a restaurant, Matthews, who is Black, is heard saying that she represents a “mostly white” district, adding, of white voters: “I keep them right here — like under my thumbs. ... Otherwise, they get out of control — like kids.”

    “You ought to know who you’re dealing with," Matthews goes on to say. “You’ve got to treat them like s—-. That’s the only way they’ll respect you.”

    In a statement, Matthews acknowledged her voice on the recording, calling Project Veritas a “satirical MAGA Powered news outlet.”

    The compilation also features more of Matthews’ conversation, parts of which were previously published by Project Veritas, in which she spoke to an inmate about funding her campaign with “dope boy money” and having Democrats run as Republicans, saying “secret sleepers” represent “the only way you’re gonna change the dynamics in South Carolina.”


    Some poorly chosen words but at least she seems to be honest about her feelings regarding some of her constituents. Wonder if she's friends with to Dawn Staley?

    Hope she recognizes the problem with her attitude (towards certain people) and seeks help.

    Resignation would be appropriate. But she sounds rather entitled and it might be difficult to convince her of that.

    Strange that the democrats have a weak candidate in an unwinnable district. Amazing breaking news. It should really move the narrative from traitorous ex-Presidents.

    Billy Donovan used to tell his Gator players that having a large lead is no excuse for having a bad possession. What a wonderful sentiment. I think we should apply it here. If these quotes are real, this candidate isn’t weak, she is appalling. Hopefully she is removed and if not garners zero support.

    If she’s a Senate nominee then it’s a statewide race, not district. Having said that she appears to be more of a plant by the Justice Democrats or Republicans than an actual Democrat.

    Actually, what's strange is the SC Democrat Party apparently did not know their candidate .... FOR THE US SENATE ..... held this sort of attitude. Or, the SCDP did know but weren't concerned.

    Weird man. She seems like a weak candidate to me but if you thing she isnt that's your opinion. I'd still prefer her over Dr Oz tho.

    Wasnt on video like Dr Oz's incest views. Maybe if her views were on video she wouldnt be the candidate? Clearly not the case for Oz cuz it was on video and he still passed the mustard.

    Sorry, I didn’t mean to suggest that I believe that she is a strong candidate. What I mean is that once she says something like that, her relative strength of candidacy becomes irrelevant. We don’t need strong candidates; we need good candidates. Trump was clearly a strong candidate, but that hardly makes me want to vote for him.
