Gov. McMaster's office says 'hunt them with dogs' comment was 'joke.' SC Dems want apology.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The Anderson County Democratic Party issued a statement Sunday, May 21, following Gov. Henry McMaster's comments during Saturday's South Carolina Republican Party Convention.

According to The State reporter Joseph Bustos, McMaster said: "I look forward to the day that democrats are so rare, we have to hunt them with dogs."

Chris Salley, chair of the Anderson County Democratic Party, said in a statement:

"Yesterday, Governor Henry McMaster threatened me, my family, and thousands of other Anderson County residents who are Democrats when he said he looks forward to the day he can "hunt us with dogs."

If the Governor is not willing to apologize and retract this racially-tinged dog whistle, Anderson County Democrats join the Charleston County Democratic Party in asking the South Carolina State Law Enforcement Division (SLED) to open an investigation into this threat and incitement of political violence.

It's always just a joke when they get called out on stupid shit.

1. "Hunt then like dogs"....oh it's a joke, lighten up

"They're a basket of deplorables".....oh the outrage, how dare she, we must play this non-stop over and over again to show how Democrats hate us...


The hypocrisy is stunning.

10. Interestingly

The deplorables proved Hillary correct. The Hillary who has never been convicted or indicted despite millions of tax dollars spent by the deplorables.

Slave owners hunted humans with dogs. Yeah, that’s fuckin hilarious. Statement made, retraction ignored by audience.

2. Not funny at all

This madness has to be stopped

[WarGamer]

8. Not funny... but also not an actual threat.

21. In addition...

Sometimes I'm shocked by how "off" the sense of humor can be for many GOP'ers.

It's like they live in such a small group of like minded people that they have no idea that regular people can find their "jokes" highly offensive.

It's kinda like the jokes I'd hear as a child by my grandfathers friends at the VFW... only funny to a tiny subset of people.

3. There were places where people were hunted with dogs

Those regimes have not generally fared well.

In some cases their leaders were hanged for war crimes.

9. Not in Dixie. Happened there. nt

11. The Confederacy was defeated in a brutal war

Their leaders could have been hanged for treason but weren't

The Nazis committed similar crimes in the 20th century. They were the ones who were hanged.

Without the acceptance of the atrocities of slavery, Hitler would not have gained the power he did.

17. They are still actively killing black people and using the

Government to wipe away the knowledge of past atrocities while preventing them from exercising their rights as full citizens. Right now it doesn't feel like they learned a thing and are definitely not sorry for the past.

18. They deserve the same fate dealt the Nazis who executed the final solution

[1WorldHope]

19. Enough blood has been shed. Humans need to find another way to deal with problem humans.

But, I do share the gut wrenching, base need to hurt them.

4. No class.

5. Somebody should've asked him why it wasn't funny, if it's a joke

[Irish_Dem]

6. Abusers often pretend their verbal abuse is "just a joke."

And that the victim is too stupid to get the joke or has no sense of humor.

When people are not laughing at a so called joke but instead are crying or horrified, IT IS NOT A JOKE.

7. Fuck that guy.

12. A sword has two edges...

13. The MAGATS will love him for it.

Hate-humor is 'in' these days, for that crowd.

16. Fuckface 45 last night posted a video of him beating his enemies like he was playing a drum.

Where on earth is that shit funny? It's abusive.

[LudwigPastorius]

14. Hey, fuck you Cletus.

I look forward to the day when pols who violate campaign finance laws go to jail, instead of saying "Sorry" and getting a slap on the wrist.

[Initech]

15. Fuck you, McMaster!

[Conjuay]

20. yo, macnasty,

WOOF WOOF!

[keep_left]

22. Anyone remember this one from years ago?

They have a name for this kind of crap. It's called "eliminationism", and it never ends well. ( Or as Richard Pryor said, "follow the logical conclusion of the logic" ).

[gratuitous]

23. Then, when their joke comes true

It's all your fault for not taking the "joke" seriously. And no, there's not going to be any apology. Because he meant what he said.

[malaise]

24. It's not a joke

He would welcome it

[albacore]

25. Well, Gov... that's not funny..

...what's funny is me coming over to your house to fuck your sister.
See... that's hilarious.

26. TY brer. Looks like it.
