South Carolina Lawmaker in Leaked Audio Strategizes 'Sleepers,' 'Dope Money' to Finance Senate Campaign
2022-06-29
More on this story from two days ago.
[EpochTimes] A South Carolina state politician who was on the June 28 ballot in the Democratic U.S. Senate primary runoff has been heard in leaked audio strategizing on how to utilize Democratic "sleepers" to run as Republicans in local elections, as well as requesting drug money from a state prison inmate.

Project Veritas, the watchdog organization that obtained the recording, confirmed to The Epoch Times that it verified state Rep. Krystle Matthews was the person speaking with Perry Correctional Institution inmate David Solomon Ballard.

"When we get enough of us in there, we can wreak havoc for real from the inside out," Matthews is heard saying in the recording, dated Feb. 15.

Inmate phone calls are recorded, and those making the call are notified by an operator that calls are recorded.

It’s unclear what the relationship is between Matthews and Ballard, who in 2018 began a four-year sentence for threatening the life and family of a public official, and a 10-year sentence for resisting arrest and assaulting an officer, with multiple disciplinary actions taken against him since his incarceration. He also has an extensive arrest record.

#3  Great idea! Because, you know, we conservative Republicans in South Carolina are really, really stupid and can be fooled by just about anything.

(Yes, I know, Lindsey Graham. His success here continues to puzzle me.)
