Trump Uses Anti-Trans Slur to Attack SC Senate Candidate Annie Andrews
Trump attacked Annie Andrews on Truth Social and repeated the slur three times while criticizing her positions on immigration, taxes and guns.
- On Monday, President Donald Trump used an anti-transgender slur multiple times against Democratic Senate candidate Dr. Annie Andrews in a Truth Social post, with the offensive term appearing three times in the message.
- The Senate race between Republican candidate Darline Graham and Dr. Andrews has tightened considerably, prompting the Cook Political Report to shift the contest from 'solid Republican' to 'likely Republican' two weeks ago.
- Andrews, a pediatrician and mother of three, dismissed the attacks as distraction, stating she would stay focused on "lowering costs and making life better for families across our state" over the next four weeks.
- Former South Carolina Governor David Beasley called Trump's comments "abhorrent," adding that while South Carolinians can strongly disagree with one another, they should do so civilly rather than through such language.
- Trump's MAGA Inc. PAC previously spent more than $800,000 to support Graham in the GOP primary, and the former president plans to campaign for her later this month to secure the seat.
