Great to see so many South Carolinians at the No Kings Rally! There is nothing more American than exercising your 1st Amendment rights 🇺🇸

Political violence must never be tolerated. It’s up to all of us to tone down the rhetoric and make it clear that we can resolve our differences peacefully. My heart is with the families of Rep. Hortman, Sen. Josh Hoffman, and the people of Minnesota in the wake of this tragedy.

If there are credible threats, then tell us. If you’re making it up, then you’re no better than @NancyMace as you both say anything to try to get elected governor. #SCPol

South Carolinians have the right to peacefully protest. Violence in all forms must be condemned — including when President Trump stokes it. Where were you on January 6 when he incited a mob? Where were you when he pardoned them for assaulting police officers?

Praying for the families of those killed last night in an incident of gun violence at a home on Lincoln Street. This tragedy is every parent’s worst nightmare.

We need Keishan Scott in the State House! Donate to his campaign today — and if you live in House District 50 in Lee, Sumter, and Kershaw counties, go vote! Early voting has started and Election Day is June 3.

There is absolutely no place in the South Carolina General Assembly for this type of rhetoric. It's time for the @SCHouseGOP to act accordingly and stand up for what's right! #SCPol #New52 scdailygazette.com/2025/05/09/dem…

When someone shows you who they are, believe them

Today the House adjourned “sine die” which brings an end to the legislative session. #RutherfordReport

Finally the #RutherfordReport is on TikTok, thanks to my good friend @RenniRucci. You can follow there me @rep.toddrutherford. This week in the House: casinos. Let’s give people more freedom and cut their taxes.

This week in the House, we had a hearing about whether to allow a casino in Santee. This would mean more freedom for SC, while bringing in more tax revenue — which is very important as we discuss how to reduce the tax burden paid by working people in our state. #RutherfordReport

Republicans have decided we’re not going to use community investment dollars in the budget this year. #RutherfordReport

Let’s talk about taxpayer dollars. #RutherfordReport

After Walter Scott and George Floyd, we made a commitment to address the inequality that exists in America. Now those in power are trying to take away the progress we’ve made. #RutherfordReport

This week in the State House we dealt with the state budget. Some of the biggest things we did: raising teacher pay, building a new “brain hospital” at USC, and investing in economic development to move our state forward. #RutherfordReport

We talked about legalizing gambling in South Carolina and much more on the Small Business “Backbone” Podcast. You can listen to it here: cts.vresp.com/c/?SCSmallBusi…

Horrible accident today — a car fell off the I-126 bridge. I’m happy to report the driver is alive. Thanks to Columbia Fire and Columbia Police for their quick response!

This week in the House: another abortion ban and a bold move on liquor liability. #RutherfordReport

I voted against the voucher bill. It’s welfare for the wealthy — we’re taking public school money and sending it to private schools. #RutherfordReport

This week in the House: social media, HOAs, and private school vouchers. #RutherfordReport
