A MAGA lieutenant governor supported calls from Republican state lawmakers to pull funding from a Historically Black College or University (HBCU) after it rescinded her invitation to speak at a commencement ceremony.

"The far left has silenced freedom of speech and pushed its radical, anti-American agenda for far too long," South Carolina Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette said in a public statement on Friday. She was fuming about South Carolina State University canceling plans on Wednesday to have her speak to graduating students, according to local media reports.

"What happened at S.C. State University this week is emblematic of what's happening at institutions across our state and country," Evette's statement read.

"I applaud the members of the General Assembly who, like me, firmly believe that not one dime of taxpayer money should ever go to a school that discriminates against conservative views," Evette wrote. "It certainly won't happen when I'm governor."

This sounds and reads what fascist do............I guess she hasn't seen what Liberty University does with their private donation.........and look at it's demographics.............

I guess she didn't read the US Supreme Court ruling on the Voting Rights Act, she probably doesn't realize that the First Amendment is tied or was tied to that Voting Rights Act a lot of ways and her maga court just said fuck the Voting Rights Act...........and the "guy" she is standing next to her is a racist...........go figure................
