A thread: When I started working from home on Tuesday, March 17th, my colleagues learned of one of the framed posters on my wall during our morning Google Hangouts. So, for amusement, I decided to switch out the artwork every workday for our morning meetings. (1/X)
A downside of newsroom hangout calls amid coronavirus is everyone seeing what my morning hair looks like. An upside is seeing @JoeBReporter's giant framed Barenaked Ladies poster.
At 8:42 pm Trump finishes speaking. Walks off stage to YMCA.
“It’s my honor to be your president during such an exciting time in the life of our country,” Trump said.
Trump also tells the crowd to vote for Alan Wilson too. Wilson could not attend the rally; he had a bus tour stop in the Charlotte-area this evening.
"(You) Need to get out and vote for Alan Wilson for governor," Trump said.
"Your boy is going to win," Trump says to Joe Wilson.
Trump invites Darline Graham to the lectern:
"Mr. President, thank you for coming to SC. I’m so honored to have your endorsement," Graham said. "You are one of Lindsey’s dearest friends. You will always be a part of the Graham family."
Trump on Henry McMaster: “I took the governor and put her in the United Nations because I wanted him to be the governor.”
As a fourth protester is removed:
“I don’t mind when they do that, but it’s right at my punch lines. These people are serious losers," Trump says.
It’s just after 640 pm and the arena has filled in. A few people were still trickling in. Trump is scheduled to speak at 7pm.
Darline Graham just wrapped up and it sounds like helicopters are flying above. Treasurer Secretary Scott Bessent just told the crowd the president is landing. Trump was flying to Greenville, and it was expected he would fly to Pendleton to avoid shutting down highways.
“She’s a fraud who’s prescribing bad medicine,” Darline Graham said of Annie Andrews.
