We cats have never been big fans of the state of South Carolina. After all, what has it given us? Secession, Confederate flags at the State House, Mark Sanford, Nikki Haley and Lady Lindsey, just to name a few. And now you can add fired Officer Michael T. Slager to that dubious list. (Would somebody please ask US Senator Tim Scott — whose appointment Nikki Haley celebrated as the end of racism in the Palmetto State — to comment on how a white policeman could have possibly shot an unarmed black citizen in the back — eight times?)
But wait, it gets better. South Carolina, and particularly South Carolina Republicans, have another headache. He's the former executive director of the state GOP, his name is Todd Kincannon, and he's just been charged with — surprise! — criminal domestic violence.
Seems that Toddie and wife Ashley Griffith were out driving a few weeks back and got into an argument. Even though Toddie was behind the wheel — presumably keeping his eye on traffic, but who knows? — he managed to smack Ashley around a few times. When Ashley tried to get out of the car, Toddie started speeding through traffic to keep her from jumping out. He did the same thing when he pulled into the parking lot of — what else? — a Chick-Fil-A.
Whadda guy! This is, of course, the same GOP jackass who has tweeted horrible stuff at Iraq war vets, Ebola victims and trans folks. Our take? Typical Republican. Typical South Carolinian. We cats hope the Lexington County judge throws not just the book but the entire Encyclopedia Britannica at him. And we HISS.
P.S.: Chick-Fil-A, the Jesus lovers who have such distaste for gays, might want to think twice about the kind of people they let into their parking lots. For shame!
