The South Carolina Conservative
South Carolina’s “Boss Hog” AKA State Senator Jake Knotts has been officially reprimanded by The State Senate Ethics Committee.
Knotts is best known for referring to Governor Nikki Haley as a “raghead” when she was a candidate during the 2010 GOP Gubernatorial primary. Knotts has become known throughout South Carolina as “Boss Hog” in reference to the character from the 1980s TV series The Dukes of Hazzard due to Knotts’ good ‘ol boy thuggish style of dealing with people.
His thuggery sort of culminated a few months ago when Knotts had a couple of his henchmen file a lawsuit against his primary challenger Katrina Shealy. The Suit ended up resulting in around 200 candidates, both republican and democrat being thrown off the primary ballots across the state in addition to Shealy.
Shealy and many other disenfranchised candidates were able to get their names on the November ballots as “petition candidates” through grass-roots efforts of collecting thousands of signatures. That effort has become known as “Operation Lost Vote.”
Knotts’ reputation has become so bad in South Carolina that the State Republican Party recently decided to officially endorse Shealy for the general election even though Knotts is the official GOP nominee.
