SC Senate Debate Canceled After Graham Refuses Test

Charleston’s CBS News affiliate reports:

A debate between Sen. Lindsey Graham and Jaime Harrison in Spartanburg tonight has been canceled, and two separate forums will take its place instead. This comes after Harrison’s campaign called for Graham to take a COVID test.

“We’re disappointed that Lindsey has failed to take a simple coronavirus test, but we appreciate our hosts were able to change the event format to make it safer for everyone,” said Guy King, a spokesperson for Harrison. “Jaime will be there in Spartanburg tonight to talk to the voters.”

South Carolinians do not appreciate Harrison putting himself above others.

If Mr. Harrison is not able to interact with South Carolinians on the same terms they live their lives, he should not be their senator.

Are South Carolina workers demanding all their coworkers and customers be tested before going to work?

Do restaurants demand their staff & customers be tested before opening?

Mr. Harrison is demanding special treatment.

Other than Mr. Harrison, is any other South Carolinian demanding every person they come in contact with be tested before they meet?
