You know the sad thing?
I wouldn’t be surprised if he won.
Colleton County, SC Republican sheriff candidate Craig Stivender sparked headlines this week with a stunning admission.
In his campaign announcement video, Stivender attempted to air his own dirty laundry in the name of transparency. He took responsibility for his divorce and re-marriage, for being reprimanded for losing his temper as a police officer, and for wearing blackface at a Halloween party ten years ago.
Stivender claims he intended to poke fun at Demetrius “Big Meech” Flenory, the infamous leader of the criminal organization Black Mafia Family (BMF.) “I did it to disparage a criminal whose actions hurt our community and country,” he said. “That was a different time. Today we understand that type of costume is troubling to many. To those who may be upset, I understand your disappointment. But I value honesty, so I’m opening my campaign with transparency.”
