Charleston County

So was there somebody that decided to take matters into their own hands here? Obviously, the police aren't saying that, but I think it has to be investigated.

The Charleston County coroner, meanwhile, confirmed Monday the longtime Boeing staffer died Friday while in town for interviews linked to the case.

Boeing also responded to the former worker's death in their own statement as news spread on Monday, saying it was saddened by Mr. Barnett's passing.

Yeah, I don't know how that's going to hit with his family, considering it's this whole entire ordeal that led to his death one way or the other, either by his own hand or by some scumbag who decided to kill him.

That's right.

This has been steadily trending toward retired Rear Admiral Nancy LaCour, and it looks like it's coming at the perfect time for her in her race against Charleston County Councilwoman Jenny Honeycutt.

And a lot of people are telling me that this race could flip, that the first could flip.

So while the Senate race is too close to call for me, this one is looking like a flip, folks.

oh but you're right it's exactly what you're talking about and and those people are coming here thinking they're conservative but they're actually maybe from where they they they came from they were the conservative side listen

it used to mean something because our girls were two of our girls were born in charleston county and one of my my best friend's daughter also carolina girls is what we called them and we had our pink license tag with the south carolina flag instead of blue and we had our carolina sticker and our carolina car tags and pink it was pink it was fabulous on my green minivan And it was beautiful.

It was the, I don't even know, I'm gonna say it wrong, the Palmetto and whatever else is in the picture.

But we were so proud of that because you got there and you instantly became part of South Carolina culture and you loved Benny wafers and you loved cheese straws and you loved shrimp and grits and you learned about the culture and the Gullah culture and the baskets and it was amazing.

And even to be born in Charleston County and what that means, and that's a whole other thing.

But then to have people come down, import their horrible ideas and their jaded views to try to turn it into what it is not, I beg you, South Carolina, I beg you, wake up.

Wake up.

where they drew the new seventh district too when they yeah district too

yeah when yeah and and what's interesting to me about south carolina sort of the dynamics of this race is that I imagine that Andrew's path is also just running a lot stronger in like Charleston County and the Charleston environs than, than even, you know, Jamie Harrison did in, in, in 2020.

And it's like, there's sort of a, but where's the, you know, there's gotta be a ceiling there though that I, so I, I, I too am also a little skeptical just because I, do think i like i can see the kansas situation working out for democrats more so than in florida or sorry south carolina just because of the dynamics of of politics in the south and part is also a part of it at the end of the day like even if andrews is doing better among some college-educated white voters and like charleston and columbia areas who might traditionally voted republican there's a lot of voters who are just never going to consider voting for a democrat so i also tend to think, yeah, it's going to take a larger than, you know, a larger libertarian vote.

I think there's a constitution candidate on the ballot as well who might get a few votes.
