Horry County GOP censures Lindsey Graham for supporting post-Uvalde gun reform bill

The Horry County GOP has censured U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham for his support of a sweeping legislative package that promises stronger background checks and major investments in school-based mental health programs.

In a three-page resolution approved by the party’s executive committee Aug. 1, county Republican leaders say Graham’s summer vote for the bipartisan Safer Communities Act was a “conscious and deliberate violation” of the state’s platform. Party officials announced the censure in an email sent to The Sun News on Saturday.

Graham was part of a 20-member working group assembled shortly after the May 24 Uvalde, Texas, Elementary School shooting that left 19 children and two adults dead.

Ironic how he chose that verb back in 2014.
