Presumably, South Carolinians are fine with having a Governor who throws around racist imagery as McMaster easily won re-election by nearly twenty points in 2022. Not a great look for any state but given what's also in office in Florida, Georgia, Alabama, etc, McMaster is hardly worse than any of the rest of them. "Governor McMaster has been making this joke at GOP conventions for years, and everyday South Carolinians understand that it's a joke," McMaster's communications director, Brandon Charochak said.
