The House is now in recess until 2 pm.

Rep Moore is now asking from a legislative, philosophical, cultural lens why is equity and diversity such an egregious thing to Republicans?

They both state that the folks who introduced the bill surely must just be confused.

Reps King and Grant are discussing why are we wasting time on this bill. King commends Grant for trying to stop this bill in committee, and Grant asks what problem does this bill fix? King replies that he never knew there was a problem with diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Rep King begs his colleagues to wake up, and stop hurting people.

Rep. King also calls out gerrymandering and how his colleagues purposely draw lines to minimize Black voting power.

Asks his colleagues, “I want to know who the boogey man is.”

Representative John King correctly points out that WHITE women are the biggest recipients of DEI.

“It’s a sad day in South Carolina. You all may not realize this but a lot of friendships today will be destroyed. & if you think your districts are not diverse, you’re crazy.” @schousedems.bsky.social
