FITSForum:The Case For Lin Wood
by JEFF DAVIS || Politics was never supposed to be a career, for anyone. That’s not what the founding fathers envisioned. They each left their homes and businesses, went to serve the people for a time, then went back to their lives. They embodied the meaning of serving by putting their personal business on hold, and put #WeThePeople first.
Our country has gotten so far away from that important cornerstone of American history that in today’s cultural environment, a person without a political background is actually deemed unfit to serve #WeThePeople. Unlike SCGOP chairman Drew McKissick – who’s spent a lifetime in politics, and has likely benefited from that in the way that the well-connected do – SCGOP chair candidate Lin Wood was asked to serve, by me and other supporters of #WeThePeople.
mySCGOP.com supports the MAGA agenda of putting America first, educating citizens about MAGA agenda candidates and eliminating dishonest party officials and practices, as well as Republican-in-name-only (RINO) establishment operatives. Shouldn’t we all? Despite extraordinary demands on Mr. Wood’s time and energies he said he would run against Drew McKissick. He felt he could not ask others to stand up if he himself would not answer our call as well.
The people who support Mr. Wood now were already in his corner. After four years of being humiliated, shamed and vilified by mainstream media – and by CNN in particular – conservatives cheered when Wood forced CNN to settle with Kentucky student Nicholas Sandmann. Like us, Sandmann had been misrepresented and defamed, but in a personal way. That young man became hated across our nation for a false media narrative.
Conservatives were thrilled when Wood hit CNN where it hurt most. His election as SCGOP chair would send a very clear message, to both media and current or potential politicians, that in South Carolina, the SCGOP will demand that honesty, integrity and loyalty to the party’s voters are upheld by any candidate seeking GOP support.
As a young tax attorney, I first started following my Atlanta neighbor Mr. Wood in 1996 as the defamation lawyer who spent over a decade-and-a-half clearing hero Richard Jewell’s name after he was wrongly accused of setting the bomb at Atlanta’s Centennial Olympic Park. Like Trump, Wood is a fighter. Like Trump, Wood never gives up. Like Trump, Wood is an outsider in politics. Like Trump, Wood is close friends with leaders that conservatives respect, namely General Flynn, Sidney Powell, Mike Lindell and our good friends at Bikers for Trump.
Wood is our fighter, the man who says that no election really matters until we clear up what happened in November 2020. Wood is 100 percent right in that respect. Until elections are free and fair and 100 percent transparent, we can’t trust any results. Wood’s words of caution about election fraud in Georgia have been twisted or taken out of context many, many times, and McKissick supporters eagerly do that also.
But it’s just a little too convenient and handy for the Drew McKissick crowd to blame the Georgia election debacle on Wood, when it was merely a repeat of the travesty we saw played out in states across the county: Pennsylvania, Michigan, Arizona and perhaps even here in South Carolina. Trying to blame the success of a sinister nationwide election-fraud scheme on a single voice is ridiculous. And by the way, where does McKissick stand on investigating election fraud? I’d love to know as his silence has been deafening. Wood has never wavered.
Lin Wood supporters see clearly what “connections” and “experience” can do for the political elite, and we believe light is the best disinfectant. McKissick’s connection to Rampart PAC needs exactly that as well, light. Don’t you want to know? I do. #FollowTheMoney.
As Republicans, we also believe in fairness. Who ARE the state delegates for the May 15 convention? McKissick has the full list of those who were elected by their GOP peers at county conventions, but the SCGOP has thus far refused to share it with the three other candidates, state delegates, or anyone except, perhaps, certain county leaders who endorse Drew. McKissick has been using that list to campaign while his three opponents cannot. Is that Republican? Not in my book. We are better than that.
