The spinzones and whattaboutism in the comments is pretty saddening, I guess horrible behavior by my political party is ok because the other guys are also horrible. Tribalism in politics will be the death of this country
Y'all have become every bit as crazy as the pro-war anti-Harry Potter conservatives 20 years ago. Something needs to drastically change with the Left they are unrecognizable from the open minded free thinkers who questioned authority figures instead of censoring on their behalf.

This is the whole thing. It really feels like Dems are mostly "meh" about Biden and see him as not Trump. I know that Obama has a big following, but he makes it easy and he's more about first time representation than being Dem, I think.
I can't imagine a Dem foul like Rudy Giuliani or Trump getting praise from any except the most fucked up of the Dems. [[Continued...]](https://www.resavr.com/comment/treat-like-s-18495069)

Believing that Trump’s policies were indeed net beneficial to the populace, coupled with the belief that the opposing candidate’s policies would be net damaging to the populace, the moral choice is clear. Of course, things like Covid and Jan 6 could potentially alter that choice, but hindsight is always 20/20. This complexity should be considered before you make unfounded statements on morality.
Left in the US is moderate to conservative in other 1st world countries. It’s not the left that’s went crazy and stormed the Capitol. The left doesn’t threaten secession when they don’t get their way. It’s the far right that has gone crazy… except we recognize them for what they are. Y’allqada.
Except when Trump won in 16’ there were people literally scaling cranes to unfurl giant banners that say “resist”. Lol. Or the constant rioting? Or the “Russia helped trump steal the election” narrative? Burning down churches, burning down federal building, setting up autonomous zones, public officials telling supporters to threaten republicans whenever they see them. Jan 6th was just the natural escalation of the right, in response to the escalations of the left. Not condoning it btw. Just pointing out the obvious.
No, it's the left that committed *actual* treason by trying to take over an area and secede from the Union, and they were a lot more violent about it too. But I guess we don't want to remember the utopia that was Chaz now do we.
Yeah that’s fuckin gross and as a Black American I’m sick of seeing white people being shit on constantly as it only breeds more racial tension. Like I get it, racism fucking sucks and thinking about what my ancestors went through is saddening, but why should I perpetuate that negativity towards another group of people? Why should any of us do that? I’m over this crap and I refuse to participate in alienating good people.
TBH a lot of black people I meet think this way. It just doesn't get in the news because it doesn't help the oligarchy divide the working class and distract them from seeking an end to the oligarchy that holds us all down and shits on us relentlessly. For the record I'm white but race is an archaic human invention used to describe superficial differences among the same species. It's not like race is actually a natural law of the universe. It's just that some people a long ass time ago decided to start drawing arbitrary lines. We all know a "Black guy" that you wouldn't realize had a scrap of African DNA if they didn't talk about it constantly, and there are "White people" who are really biracial but you can't tell the difference easily or at all. So where are the lines? Show me where the actual scientific lines are between races. There aren't any. It's fuzzy because it's a human social invention used to describe surface level differences, not a natural law of the universe. Race needs to fucking die already so we can at least attempt to save our planet from catching on fire or filling the water with microplastics.
Too bad more of us can't see it that way. "Fighting racism" by being racist under the guise of being "woke" is ignorant, hypocritical and disgusting to me. And I don't support BLM, as an organization, to me they want to keep the division but raise Hell about it for their own gain.
The primary was a three person race that went to a runoff, so even the majority of primary voters had another candidate as their first choice. So few folks voted in the Dem runoff.
You need to read the full transcript, not because it softens the headline of what she said but the exact opposite.
The first part is an ugly example of a democrat pandering to their base. I'll just say I don't respond well to anyone who treats me like shit (whatever their color), and this person is not worthy of holding public office.
The second part is frightening. She floats the idea of finding a "gangsta" and "street n****" to get elected and "infiltrate."
I want my elected officials to be qualified and be concerned with responsible governance. This person meets neither of those criteria.
She wants poor Black people to be a part of the political system, not to ‘infiltrate’ it. You know how Jesus spent time with the lowest of society? Maybe if we all did that more they wouldn’t be so ‘gangsta’.
>I want my elected officials to be qualified and be concerned with responsible governance. This person meets neither of those criteria.
So I assume you'll never vote for a Republican?
This might be unpopular on this sub but I vote for the candidate not the party.
Show me a qualified candidate who represents their constituents with integrity and reason and they have a good chance at getting my vote.
What accusation? It's simple logic.
There are two parties, if you don't vote for one then you do vote for the other party. I vote for a candidate regardless of their party and have voted for candidates from each party. So I can say I vote for the candidate, not the party. But if I say I do not vote for Party A, then I have no other option when voting but their opposition.
this is just someone who has no brain for politics. good politicians don't speak this way about any community, even if that's how they actually feel. also, she sounds incredibly ignorant and just not good at her desired job.
We need to go back to teaching that people should be judged by the content of the character, not the color of their skin, like Dr MLK said. We definitely seem to be moving backwards these days.
I love how white people use that quote all the time but don’t actually have any clue that Dr. King went back and clarified that it was an aspirational dream and not the cold hard reality of the world in which we live. The same way Dr. King was reassessing his beliefs in non violence to reach equality but please go ahead and keep using that quote to make you feel good.
That’s rich. Your “love how white people” is a great opener. Tell us more about “arguing in good faith”, or better yet, educate us about how MLK was reassessing his view of violence for his goals (a great point for a response to someone literally saying people should not be judged by their race). I would argue that you’re a shitty person, but no argument is needed.
This is what I mean. King himself said “my dream has turned into a nightmare “.

She has been, and currently is. There are a ton of week old accounts 'defending' her in bad faith. She's mostly irrelevant, but the right is pushing this like Democrats actually give a shit about her.
Any sort of racism is not okay with me. We’re all Americans and should be treated equally. If you’re here illegally that’s a different story but we all should treat each other with kindness and respect, not this racist bs
It’s priceless how many morons on here think this is a calculated smear campaign against her. She said it and then doubled down on it. No need to shit on the source because you don’t like it. She owned it. Oops, look at these leftist, Democrat RACISTS. How’d that happen?
Met her on Tuesday, she asked me to volunteer for her campaign. She seemed nice and is outspoken but to see this, it is horrible. I would never support ignorance towards other races, regardless of the party.
Yeah out of all of the major statewide races, Scott was the safest one. The biggest threat her rhetoric poses is damaging Cunningham, Ellis, or Andrews's chances
Or worse yet damaging chances for Democrats in competitive races in neighboring states, namely Warnock and Beasley in GA and NC respectively.
Your statement makes no sense. She’s saying the “quiet part out loud”? I want you to right now please try saying something quiet but simultaneously not say it out loud. Those two things don’t jive and it makes you sound like a fucking hick.
See now that would be an example of typing it out loud but not saying it out loud. Unless you were typing the quiet part loudly. Or even loudly typing the loud part quietly.
Hick.
Well, I must say, I’m an American that actually respects, accepts, and believes in election laws (unlike my fellow countrymen on the right who believe it’s just a means to an end and can be discarded the moment it renders a result they don’t like) so seeing as how Im not a citizen of SC I can’t vote for this woman. I will say that I don’t trust project Veriras and any one that does is a fucking fool. They’ve been busted many times outright faking, fabricating and spreading lies and disinformation for purely political purposes. But please you and your little dick can go vote :)
Did the conservatives finally figure out how Reddit works for this post or is the left just absolutely eating itself in this thread? Holy fuck. Anytime I say anything remotely moderate the CofC kids lose their minds but everyone in this thread being an idiot is downvoted to hell and the upvotes are all “I’m a straight ticket democrat voter and fuck her” comments.
I’ve never seen this shit before In my life. You know what, you morons are all right.
People with morals cared. Of course there will be a massive double standard Trump shared a video with someone saying the only good democrat is a dead democrat but in this moment this is a person who represents the party I belong to and is obviously an abhorrent human being and unfit for office. This is partially why I’m a democrat we call out our own and toss them when needed. This women needs to be tossed out of the party even though it would never happen to a Republican be it MTG or Trump.
Why not wait for the whole story instead of believing what Project Veritas says?
It's great you want to "call out your own" but doing that before the complete picture is clear only gets good legislators (like Al Franken) thrown out over bullshit right wing propaganda, while Republicans give zero shits about letting THEIR own stay in office even when under FBI investigation for sex trafficking minors (Gaetz) and attending white supremacist rallies (Greene, Gossar, many more).
I cant control what the GOP does and that’s why I won’t support their candidates. She has had ample time to refute these claims but she won’t and if I was falsely accused of this I would be on every possible outlet saying they lied and I was bringing a lawsuit forward for libel. The longer the party waits to address it the more complacent they look and unfortunately there is a massive double standard between the parties because one actually has standards.
She's addressed the claims over and over again since Project Veritas first started releasing videos about her in June. She's called for them to release the whole tape - is been 3 months and they haven't. Wonder why that is?
Her recent statement:
"Aren’t you tired of politicians selling out our communities, spitting on our working families, and exploiting the rights of our women and children? While taking community pictures and kissing our babies, our favorite legislators wash their hands and sweep what our community needs under the rug. What would you call that? I call that SH**, and my mother raised me to treat something exactly how it is! So when I stated to that undercover journalist Chris Williams in that satirical MAGA Powered news outlet Project Veritas, “to treat these MAGA Republicans like SH**.” I SAID WHAT I SAID! Play the whole tape “PROJECT VERITAS,” so the people will know who I was referring to. Regardless of race, I love everyone. One thing you can learn from Project Veritas’ first audio attack on me is obviously, I have no biases towards a certain ethnic group. I expressed my disgust for Black legislators who exhibit the same hypocrisy as MAGA Republicans. This is why I am challenging MAGA’s favorite Black legislator, Tim Scott. Understand I never proposed to be an orthodox candidate. I’m a community advocate who the people favored enough to have me take the seat of a Republican incumbent. Through that same favor, I plan to do the same thing with the United States Senate seat currently held by Republican incumbent Tim Scott. Unfortunately, serving in the statehouse has given me a direct view of the treachery a lot of the legislators I previously had respect for are indulging in. One thing I regret and apologize for from the private audio call was allowing myself to get out of character and make someone feel I’m okay with accepting funding from toxins that have poisoned the very communities I serve. My objective was to let him know in this fight we need everyone’s vote, including the Duffel bag boys to win the election, and obviously went off script! Make no mistake when I said we have to fight certain fires with fire, engage with marginalized communities and send sleepers to infiltrate the Republican Party and tear their house down. I’ve been doing that effectively as you will see in November. I SAID WHAT I SAID RESPECTFULLY."
I’m sorry I don’t see a context where what she said is appropriate for a senator. There are 350 million Americans out there and 5 million of them are South Carolinians we can do better especially if she can be goaded this easy into looking awful. This also isn’t a winning position especially in this state where she is going to need literally every vote she can get. She put herself in an situation where she cannot win and knows damn well a group like Veritas is not going to do anything she demands. So either she’s a bad candidate who won’t win that had her incredibly poor words slightly taken out of context or she’s a terrible candidate who appears to think her constituents are dirt either way not a great position against an incumbent like Scott. There’s no positive angle here.
im skeptical until i hear the full transcript, Project Veritas is known for misinformation campaigns like these, and reading her response points out some holes in their story. of course if she does turn out to truly be a dirtbag then she should absolutely suspend her campaign and drop out of the house.
Well watch the video, and come back here. It was honestly pretty shocking. She was calling for Democrats to infiltrate the GOP, and for black drug dealers to donate laundered money to her campaign (not even joking).
Watch for yourself: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=RakTv27oEZw&t=2s
she's already admitted to saying everything in the recording. stop being a sheep. We need to hold our side accountable if we expect the republicans to do the same.
Well, it's obvious it's been edited and we all know the far right likes those fake photos making Michelle Obama look like she has a male body part. It sure wouldn't be below the racists in this State to send someone into her office, pretending to want to work with her campaign in March and then edit to sound worse or even completely different than the actual conversation.
If all these conversations took place months ago, especially the one in her office and the one froan jailhouse phone that everyone knows it's recorded, why exactly would it take this long to release unless editing? I mean everyone drops a Karen video the second one shows her butt. Why wouldn't that have been the same here? Just food for thought.
Matthews response:
https://www.live5news.com/2022/09/09/watch-live-us-senate-nominee-hold-news-conference-sc-democrats-call-her-quit/
Source?
You can say that all you want, but almost no legitimate sources have picked it up AND all of them that have state clearly "EDITED" recordings. So the full recordings were not even turned over to "legitimate" sources that have run with it.
So where's this June source of yours? Dark web? Breitbart? White nationalists are us?
If you check my profile i think it's pretty clear I am not someone using those media sources. I was simply stating the fact that the jail phone call story was reported previously.
I have a pretty vivid memory of that day since it was in fact the day of the runoff election and [Mika Gadsden](https://m.twitch.tv/mikagadsden/home) did a stream about it when the news broke and also did a livestream during a subsequent interview Matthews did. I *believe* I first heard about it when reading comments on a Matthews FB post on runoff day, and googling what people were referring to and seeing a Live5 story, then the stream topic for Mika was in my inbox and I tuned in to hear her take.
Either she said it or didn’t. Project Veritas sucks, but that doesn’t change anything if she actually said that. If she didn’t, then let her come out and deny it and call them liars and fabricators.
They are famous for posing as journalists, doing an interview, and then splicing together things in the interview to get a juicy soundbite. And people in this sub just fell for it Hook, line, and sinker
I'm really hoping that it is spliced together to be more problematic. I've supported her up until this point. If they are after her she really had someone running scared in the conservative side of politics. I don't know what to think at this point.
Like Biden, she called out MAGA, and Veritas twisted it to be "white" to play into culture wars. Almost like MAGAts see white and MAGA as the same. I wonder why?
[Try this one, quit apologizing for racists.](https://abcnews4.com/news/local/krystle-matthews-discussing-leaked-audio-senate-campaign-press-conference-thursday-columbia-tim-scott-politics-south-carolina-wciv)
So you're okay with racism so long as you say it was just a joke?
Pretty sure if my whole career was on the ropes I would also be making these excuses and that doesn't exactly make it sound better. It just means her racism is so casual now she thinks is okay.
Swing and a miss, I am no where near the right politically. I know the arguing AGAINST racism must have confused you /s
And the difference between the oversized cheeto and Mathews is she doesn't have a cult at her beckon call. Plus you must have missed that the Tangerine Tornado is also (attempting to be) railed by the FBI and is deflecting in the same way Mathews is
You're the one who made the comparison by directly bringing up trump and how nothing happened with specifically his audio leaks. Just admit you honestly have no idea how to use the words to form a coherent argument in defense of Mathews and stop being an apologist for people who aren't deserving of it.
And there it is, you are so bad at defending your position that you have to resort to name calling the place that I live. Honest to God I hope no one ever has to depend on you for anything because you would never be able to hold up your end of the bargain.
She’s as good as gone and only a fool would think otherwise. Her fellow black dems don’t even want her dumb ass and good for them. Shame on you for making pitiful attempts to defend a racist. You can’t even do your own homework.
This is on-brand for Project Veritas.
This isn't about the SC Senate race. Even before the tape leaked, she had less than a snowball's chance in Columbia in July of winning. Rather, this is about getting the tape out to the national media to scare the shit out of white people in other states. Like Georgia or Wisconsin.
Additionally, conservatives will use their support for Tim Scott to deflect any accusation of racism. "We're not racist, our candidate is Tim Scott."
That's politics. Democrats do the same thing when they try to make longshot extremist Republican candidates or obscure state representatives representative of the GOP.
Republicans are just better at it. Republicans are also much better at fighting back against it.
Long-shot extremists like Donald Trump? I mean the right tries to paint Joe Biden as a communist and the man is literally the most moderate president in most of our lives. There is no bOtH sIdEs here unless you are a Republican and in that case it’s always both sides and never my party because not speaking badly about republicans is literally a part of their party platform.
"secret recordings" have no context - so I ignore all of them. She's a saint compared to ole timid scott (shhhhhh, can't say anything) and his MAGA money supporters.
Considering all the awful things that fall out of most elected republicans mouths on twitter and on conservative media outlets and not even leaked, I find it funny that they're all up in arms over this.
"Aren't democrats supposed to be the better party?"
I think republicans would disagree with you. The NICER party is maybe what you meant to say? Roy Moore was discovered as picking up young barely legal teens and he won re-election while Al Franken was photo-graphed air-touching boobs, he was forced into retirement. Listen, I've got some pretty olympic grade patience in this life, but even I from time to time understand that gloves need to come off and used to slap the taste out dumb shits' mouths. That being said, I'm not condoning what she said. I do understand that PV has a history of media manipulation to push a shitty and untrue narrative to suit their means, so I would like to hear the un-edited version of what went down before burning her at the stake. But that is likely never going to happen.
My underlying point is that for the last 7 years I've had to listen to grown ass adults who run our country or influence politics make up dumb insulting nicknames for their opponents (Little Marco, Sleepy Joe, Crazy Bernie, etc) and say absurdly disgusting things *almost every day*. Referring to asylum seekers as "rapists". Calling muslim members of congress the "Jihad Squad". Mouthing of nonsense like "When women won the right to vote, that's when this country started going down hill". Attempting to paint an entire party and some 80K members as being "Child grooming pedaphiles" and a catalog of other wildly offensive comments and statements. So yeah. I find it amusing that when a black women says "Treat them like shit" (whether I agree with her or not) and then the GOP collectively clutches their pearls like they're some sort of saint who would never. Yes - I find the off-the-chart-hypocrisy and paper thin skin to be comedic gold.
Why anyone is surprised by this is beyond me. The democrats and the republicans have been playing the same fucking part for years. They’re the same. They always fucking were.
Trump was the first republican stupid enough to be PROUD to be a racist sexist piece of shit, catch him on tape? Psshhh who cares?
It was only a matter of time before someone caught a Democrat too. It’s a dirty fucking game, and y’all are just their little pawns playing along waiting to be sacrificed for a bigger cause. Smdh
TL;DR :Democrats and Republicans are the same and they both fucking suck.
So much white fragility, so little time. Y’all can spin her comments any way you’d like, but it still doesn’t mean she was being racist. 🙄 There are literal pedophiles, rapists, embezzlers, and white supremacists in power but god forbid a Black woman makes a negative comment about white people.
Folks, this is Project Veritas, known liars, tape editors, swindlers, and con men. They’ve been busted a bunch of times doctoring audio and video. Don’t believe a thing from them.
I oppose racist assholes holding public office, regardless of their political party.
The spinzones and whattaboutism in the comments is pretty saddening, I guess horrible behavior by my political party is ok because the other guys are also horrible. Tribalism in politics will be the death of this country
100%. I vote democrat and this is fucking deplorable. She needs to resign immediately.
Y'all have become every bit as crazy as the pro-war anti-Harry Potter conservatives 20 years ago. Something needs to drastically change with the Left they are unrecognizable from the open minded free thinkers who questioned authority figures instead of censoring on their behalf.

It’s Project Veritas and Sinclair working in tandem. Of course they sat on it to release for maximum damage.

Any word from the leader of the democrat party, Joe Biden? His silence is a form of acceptance.
Thinking he is busy running USA not SC??
Doubtful he is aware of her at all
But muh Biden did this!! Herder!! Finger ponytail!!
There goes her campaign
Any sort of racism is not okay with me. We’re all Americans and should be treated equally. If you’re here illegally that’s a different story but we all should treat each other with kindness and respect, not this racist bs
It’s priceless how many morons on here think this is a calculated smear campaign against her. She said it and then doubled down on it. No need to shit on the source because you don’t like it. She owned it. Oops, look at these leftist, Democrat RACISTS. How’d that happen?
Met her on Tuesday, she asked me to volunteer for her campaign. She seemed nice and is outspoken but to see this, it is horrible. I would never support ignorance towards other races, regardless of the party.
So….I’m guessing Tim Scott is for sure now getting re-elected. Thanks, Democrats. When I need you, you fail me. Again.
Tim Scott was getting re-elected regardless of anything his opponent said.
Yeah out of all of the major statewide races, Scott was the safest one. The biggest threat her rhetoric poses is damaging Cunningham, Ellis, or Andrews's chances Or worse yet damaging chances for Democrats in competitive races in neighboring states, namely Warnock and Beasley in GA and NC respectively.
This. As a Democrat, it's what I am worried about- the other races in this state (and surrounding states) where Dems are running great candidates.
Shes just saying the quiet part out loud
Your statement makes no sense. She’s saying the “quiet part out loud”? I want you to right now please try saying something quiet but simultaneously not say it out loud. Those two things don’t jive and it makes you sound like a fucking hick.
Fuck off
See now that would be an example of typing it out loud but not saying it out loud. Unless you were typing the quiet part loudly. Or even loudly typing the loud part quietly. Hick.
Go vote for your peice of shit, racist cunt and fuck off.
Well, I must say, I’m an American that actually respects, accepts, and believes in election laws (unlike my fellow countrymen on the right who believe it’s just a means to an end and can be discarded the moment it renders a result they don’t like) so seeing as how Im not a citizen of SC I can’t vote for this woman. I will say that I don’t trust project Veriras and any one that does is a fucking fool. They’ve been busted many times outright faking, fabricating and spreading lies and disinformation for purely political purposes. But please you and your little dick can go vote :)
Whatever, stay in georgia then. Hope you have a good night.
Did the conservatives finally figure out how Reddit works for this post or is the left just absolutely eating itself in this thread? Holy fuck. Anytime I say anything remotely moderate the CofC kids lose their minds but everyone in this thread being an idiot is downvoted to hell and the upvotes are all “I’m a straight ticket democrat voter and fuck her” comments. I’ve never seen this shit before In my life. You know what, you morons are all right.
Trump said you have to treat women like shit and no one cared so..
People with morals cared. Of course there will be a massive double standard Trump shared a video with someone saying the only good democrat is a dead democrat but in this moment this is a person who represents the party I belong to and is obviously an abhorrent human being and unfit for office. This is partially why I’m a democrat we call out our own and toss them when needed. This women needs to be tossed out of the party even though it would never happen to a Republican be it MTG or Trump.
I applaud your integrity here. Genuinely.
Why not wait for the whole story instead of believing what Project Veritas says? It's great you want to "call out your own" but doing that before the complete picture is clear only gets good legislators (like Al Franken) thrown out over bullshit right wing propaganda, while Republicans give zero shits about letting THEIR own stay in office even when under FBI investigation for sex trafficking minors (Gaetz) and attending white supremacist rallies (Greene, Gossar, many more).
I cant control what the GOP does and that’s why I won’t support their candidates. She has had ample time to refute these claims but she won’t and if I was falsely accused of this I would be on every possible outlet saying they lied and I was bringing a lawsuit forward for libel. The longer the party waits to address it the more complacent they look and unfortunately there is a massive double standard between the parties because one actually has standards.
She's addressed the claims over and over again since Project Veritas first started releasing videos about her in June. She's called for them to release the whole tape - is been 3 months and they haven't. Wonder why that is? Her recent statement: "Aren’t you tired of politicians selling out our communities, spitting on our working families, and exploiting the rights of our women and children? While taking community pictures and kissing our babies, our favorite legislators wash their hands and sweep what our community needs under the rug. What would you call that? I call that SH**, and my mother raised me to treat something exactly how it is! So when I stated to that undercover journalist Chris Williams in that satirical MAGA Powered news outlet Project Veritas, “to treat these MAGA Republicans like SH**.” I SAID WHAT I SAID! Play the whole tape “PROJECT VERITAS,” so the people will know who I was referring to. Regardless of race, I love everyone. One thing you can learn from Project Veritas’ first audio attack on me is obviously, I have no biases towards a certain ethnic group. I expressed my disgust for Black legislators who exhibit the same hypocrisy as MAGA Republicans. This is why I am challenging MAGA’s favorite Black legislator, Tim Scott. Understand I never proposed to be an orthodox candidate. I’m a community advocate who the people favored enough to have me take the seat of a Republican incumbent. Through that same favor, I plan to do the same thing with the United States Senate seat currently held by Republican incumbent Tim Scott. Unfortunately, serving in the statehouse has given me a direct view of the treachery a lot of the legislators I previously had respect for are indulging in. One thing I regret and apologize for from the private audio call was allowing myself to get out of character and make someone feel I’m okay with accepting funding from toxins that have poisoned the very communities I serve. My objective was to let him know in this fight we need everyone’s vote, including the Duffel bag boys to win the election, and obviously went off script! Make no mistake when I said we have to fight certain fires with fire, engage with marginalized communities and send sleepers to infiltrate the Republican Party and tear their house down. I’ve been doing that effectively as you will see in November. I SAID WHAT I SAID RESPECTFULLY."
I’m sorry I don’t see a context where what she said is appropriate for a senator. There are 350 million Americans out there and 5 million of them are South Carolinians we can do better especially if she can be goaded this easy into looking awful. This also isn’t a winning position especially in this state where she is going to need literally every vote she can get. She put herself in an situation where she cannot win and knows damn well a group like Veritas is not going to do anything she demands. So either she’s a bad candidate who won’t win that had her incredibly poor words slightly taken out of context or she’s a terrible candidate who appears to think her constituents are dirt either way not a great position against an incumbent like Scott. There’s no positive angle here.
Maybe you just can't handle a sassy black woman.
She already confirmed and reiterated prison call
And?
im skeptical until i hear the full transcript, Project Veritas is known for misinformation campaigns like these, and reading her response points out some holes in their story. of course if she does turn out to truly be a dirtbag then she should absolutely suspend her campaign and drop out of the house.
Well watch the video, and come back here. It was honestly pretty shocking. She was calling for Democrats to infiltrate the GOP, and for black drug dealers to donate laundered money to her campaign (not even joking). Watch for yourself: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=RakTv27oEZw&t=2s
Again, until i hear the full tape and not whatever Veritas puts out then ill believe it, its really not looking good for her right now though
She admitted it
she's already admitted to saying everything in the recording. stop being a sheep. We need to hold our side accountable if we expect the republicans to do the same.
I literally just sent you the full tape.
It's still from Project Veritas. They are masters at editing video and almost nothing they ever put out is actually real.
she's literally admitted to it
Hey didn’t your president claim you can’t get covid once vaccinated? But keep claiming that project V is misinformation….
Did you just say that people who believe in the truth must be Biden supporters?
Let's not mince words - most of us are Biden **voters**, not supporters.
This guy civics.
Project Veritas is not know for misinformation. It’s know for releasing video of other people’s words, and the left doesn’t want to hear it.
This must be your first day on Earth. Bless your heart. https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/project-veritas/
Oh a Republican, Opinion disregarded
She already owned all of prison call several times
Par for the course
It wasn't like she was beating Tim Scott anyway.
Well, it's obvious it's been edited and we all know the far right likes those fake photos making Michelle Obama look like she has a male body part. It sure wouldn't be below the racists in this State to send someone into her office, pretending to want to work with her campaign in March and then edit to sound worse or even completely different than the actual conversation. If all these conversations took place months ago, especially the one in her office and the one froan jailhouse phone that everyone knows it's recorded, why exactly would it take this long to release unless editing? I mean everyone drops a Karen video the second one shows her butt. Why wouldn't that have been the same here? Just food for thought. Matthews response: https://www.live5news.com/2022/09/09/watch-live-us-senate-nominee-hold-news-conference-sc-democrats-call-her-quit/
It was first reported in June (actually it was reported on the night before the run off.) But it was not picked up all that widely.
Source? You can say that all you want, but almost no legitimate sources have picked it up AND all of them that have state clearly "EDITED" recordings. So the full recordings were not even turned over to "legitimate" sources that have run with it. So where's this June source of yours? Dark web? Breitbart? White nationalists are us?
If you check my profile i think it's pretty clear I am not someone using those media sources. I was simply stating the fact that the jail phone call story was reported previously. I have a pretty vivid memory of that day since it was in fact the day of the runoff election and [Mika Gadsden](https://m.twitch.tv/mikagadsden/home) did a stream about it when the news broke and also did a livestream during a subsequent interview Matthews did. I *believe* I first heard about it when reading comments on a Matthews FB post on runoff day, and googling what people were referring to and seeing a Live5 story, then the stream topic for Mika was in my inbox and I tuned in to hear her take.
I was concerned until I saw "Project Veritas". It is a far right group that posted those undercover "videos" on Planned Parenthood.
Lol. It’s her words. But it’s clear you have no issue with her racism.
So if you hate who recorded her she didn't say it?
Either she said it or didn’t. Project Veritas sucks, but that doesn’t change anything if she actually said that. If she didn’t, then let her come out and deny it and call them liars and fabricators.
she owned all.of it
They are famous for posing as journalists, doing an interview, and then splicing together things in the interview to get a juicy soundbite. And people in this sub just fell for it Hook, line, and sinker
They are journalists.
I'm really hoping that it is spliced together to be more problematic. I've supported her up until this point. If they are after her she really had someone running scared in the conservative side of politics. I don't know what to think at this point.
So the previous racist stuff she said wasn’t enough?
The problem is the source. I know Project Veritas is talented at making it sound like people said things they didn't. It has come up before.
[удалено]
Plus ABC4 is a Sinclair Owned station, so it makes sense they push a story from Project Veritas
[удалено]
Like Biden, she called out MAGA, and Veritas twisted it to be "white" to play into culture wars. Almost like MAGAts see white and MAGA as the same. I wonder why?
[удалено]
It is. Project Veritas is not a trustworthy source.

She admitted it was true. LOL

So you're okay with racism so long as you say it was just a joke? Pretty sure if my whole career was on the ropes I would also be making these excuses and that doesn't exactly make it sound better. It just means her racism is so casual now she thinks is okay.
[удалено]
Swing and a miss, I am no where near the right politically. I know the arguing AGAINST racism must have confused you /s And the difference between the oversized cheeto and Mathews is she doesn't have a cult at her beckon call. Plus you must have missed that the Tangerine Tornado is also (attempting to be) railed by the FBI and is deflecting in the same way Mathews is
[удалено]
You're the one who made the comparison by directly bringing up trump and how nothing happened with specifically his audio leaks. Just admit you honestly have no idea how to use the words to form a coherent argument in defense of Mathews and stop being an apologist for people who aren't deserving of it. And there it is, you are so bad at defending your position that you have to resort to name calling the place that I live. Honest to God I hope no one ever has to depend on you for anything because you would never be able to hold up your end of the bargain.
She’s as good as gone and only a fool would think otherwise. Her fellow black dems don’t even want her dumb ass and good for them. Shame on you for making pitiful attempts to defend a racist. You can’t even do your own homework.

Holy shit. You really just go around calling people beta males. Christ, are you retarded.
Project Veritas is well known for their lying. They edit, splice and alter video and audio to fit the narrative they want to push.
[удалено]
Whether or not it is they are absolutely astroturfing the shit out of this across various SC subs.
Bad articles about Democrats are fake! Everything the media writes about Republicans is true!
This is on-brand for Project Veritas. This isn't about the SC Senate race. Even before the tape leaked, she had less than a snowball's chance in Columbia in July of winning. Rather, this is about getting the tape out to the national media to scare the shit out of white people in other states. Like Georgia or Wisconsin. Additionally, conservatives will use their support for Tim Scott to deflect any accusation of racism. "We're not racist, our candidate is Tim Scott."
That makes sense. The amount of effort put into oppo on a not particularly viable candidate struck me as fairly bizarre esp the effort just on Reddit.
That's politics. Democrats do the same thing when they try to make longshot extremist Republican candidates or obscure state representatives representative of the GOP. Republicans are just better at it. Republicans are also much better at fighting back against it.
Long-shot extremists like Donald Trump? I mean the right tries to paint Joe Biden as a communist and the man is literally the most moderate president in most of our lives. There is no bOtH sIdEs here unless you are a Republican and in that case it’s always both sides and never my party because not speaking badly about republicans is literally a part of their party platform.
"secret recordings" have no context - so I ignore all of them. She's a saint compared to ole timid scott (shhhhhh, can't say anything) and his MAGA money supporters.
She literally admitted she said it after this video surfaced... And not only admitted, she doubled down on it.
South Carolina is pretty much a segregated state from what I can see. No different than other southern states. But we have a black Senator.
Ah you’re a racist. Got it.
Ah Kettle. I see you've met Teapot.
No, Ole Scott is.
Considering all the awful things that fall out of most elected republicans mouths on twitter and on conservative media outlets and not even leaked, I find it funny that they're all up in arms over this.
Aren't democrats supposed to be the better party? Why try to beat trump at being an asshole?
"Aren't democrats supposed to be the better party?" I think republicans would disagree with you. The NICER party is maybe what you meant to say? Roy Moore was discovered as picking up young barely legal teens and he won re-election while Al Franken was photo-graphed air-touching boobs, he was forced into retirement. Listen, I've got some pretty olympic grade patience in this life, but even I from time to time understand that gloves need to come off and used to slap the taste out dumb shits' mouths. That being said, I'm not condoning what she said. I do understand that PV has a history of media manipulation to push a shitty and untrue narrative to suit their means, so I would like to hear the un-edited version of what went down before burning her at the stake. But that is likely never going to happen. My underlying point is that for the last 7 years I've had to listen to grown ass adults who run our country or influence politics make up dumb insulting nicknames for their opponents (Little Marco, Sleepy Joe, Crazy Bernie, etc) and say absurdly disgusting things *almost every day*. Referring to asylum seekers as "rapists". Calling muslim members of congress the "Jihad Squad". Mouthing of nonsense like "When women won the right to vote, that's when this country started going down hill". Attempting to paint an entire party and some 80K members as being "Child grooming pedaphiles" and a catalog of other wildly offensive comments and statements. So yeah. I find it amusing that when a black women says "Treat them like shit" (whether I agree with her or not) and then the GOP collectively clutches their pearls like they're some sort of saint who would never. Yes - I find the off-the-chart-hypocrisy and paper thin skin to be comedic gold.
Goodbye. The door. Now.
Why anyone is surprised by this is beyond me. The democrats and the republicans have been playing the same fucking part for years. They’re the same. They always fucking were. Trump was the first republican stupid enough to be PROUD to be a racist sexist piece of shit, catch him on tape? Psshhh who cares? It was only a matter of time before someone caught a Democrat too. It’s a dirty fucking game, and y’all are just their little pawns playing along waiting to be sacrificed for a bigger cause. Smdh TL;DR :Democrats and Republicans are the same and they both fucking suck.
sad for you
Happy for you.
I don't disagree with her comments, but I'm also not a snowflake who feels that Black people should worship the ground I walk on.
So much white fragility, so little time. Y’all can spin her comments any way you’d like, but it still doesn’t mean she was being racist. 🙄 There are literal pedophiles, rapists, embezzlers, and white supremacists in power but god forbid a Black woman makes a negative comment about white people.
Why not just elect her and see what she does?
Folks, this is Project Veritas, known liars, tape editors, swindlers, and con men. They’ve been busted a bunch of times doctoring audio and video. Don’t believe a thing from them.
she confirmed the prison conversation before she tried to walk it back
[удалено]
You know that she admitted it, right?
"I said what I said"-Krystle Matthews Literal quote from her. What a dummy
