Three topics on my appearance this morning on Fox News:
First up – liberals introduced a bill in Congress to limit the President's ability to mobilize federal police forces in riot-ravaged cities. 🔷 My response: these are NOT peaceful protests, and the folks in Congress who don't think help is needed to restore law & order are completely tone deaf to what's happening.

The Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) has two very important hospitals in our congressional district: Lancaster Medical Center and Chester Medical Center.
Yesterday I was in Charleston to greet three massive Boeing Dreamlifters that arrived with over 150,000 protective eye goggles and face shields. This personal protective equipment is now on its way to facilities within the… Read more »
Mothers are certainly among our unsung heroes – the “glue of families” as Dr. Connie Guille describes them here. Both of those descriptions have been especially true lately. Many mothers (particularly of school-aged children) are facing even more challenges than usual during this pandemic.

FOR SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS
Governor Henry McMaster has submitted a formal request to the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) to make loans available for those small businesses in our state that are suffering economically due to the Coronavirus.

Remember last week, we passed $8.3 billion in emergency funding to help various agencies (federal, state and local) combat the Coronavirus. This week in Congress, we’re working on another bill that would help… Read more »
We’re in uncharted waters, and our public health officials are doing all they can to help manage the outbreak of the Coronavirus. In my allotment of time in this morning’s House Oversight Committee hearing, I was able to get responses to three recurring questions:

Dr. Robert Lesslie, M.D. is a highly respected physician and author in South Carolina who is Board-certified in both emergency and occupational medicine. Last night, he sent me very well-written current analysis of the Coronavirus (see link below). I'd like to quote some of his guidance here:

Two totally different worlds – two completely different mindsets – were on full display last night. It was unlike any other State of the Union address I’ve seen, either in person or on TV.
There were a couple of themes to the President’s address. First, he took a well-deserved victory lap on numerous fronts: from the economy & trade to our military & war on terror. We must always… Read more »
