Former SC Gov. David Beasley Calls Trump's Remarks About Annie Andrews 'Abhorrent'
Beasley said Trump’s repeated slur was uncalled for and urged leaders to focus on issues, not name-calling, as polls show a close race.
- On Tuesday, David Beasley, who led South Carolina in the 1990s and later ran the United Nations World Food Programme, appeared on CNN's "Erin Burnett OutFront" to condemn President Donald Trump's remarks about Annie Andrews, the Democrat challenging Sen. Darline Graham .
- Trump's Monday Truth Social post used an anti-transgender slur against Andrews three times while touting his "complete and total endorsement" of Graham, prompting Beasley's criticism.
- A major GOP Super PAC poured $5 million into the contest as internal polling shows the race is neck-and-neck, according to recent data from Trafalgar and Inside Advantage.
- Puzzled by Beasley's past support for Trump despite Trump being a crass name-caller, Erin Burnett asked why he spoke out now; Beasley argued leaders must show "respect, civility, not hate, not lies, not deception."
- Beasley warned that civility is declining and prayed the Almighty will "touch his soul" so Trump can unite America, noting the country faces a trajectory tearing it apart with a little over two years remaining in Trump's presidency.
