I completely concur with Attorney General Barr’s decision to appoint Mr. Durham as special counsel regarding matters related to the Department of Justice and FBI’s conduct in the Crossfire Hurricane investigation.
Based on hearings we held in the Senate Judiciary Committee, it is obvious the system failed and the FISA Court’s rebuke of the Department of Justice and FBI was more than warranted.
To restore credibility to the Department of Justice and FBI after this disgraceful episode, people have to be held accountable – either through criminal prosecution or administrative action.
I have complete confidence that Mr. Durham is the right man at the right time to be appointed special counsel. I hope his work product will help restore confidence in the Department of Justice and FBI after the debacle called Crossfire Hurricane.
I hope my Democrat colleagues will show Special Counsel Durham the same respect they showed Special Counsel Mueller.

This important investigation must be allowed to proceed free from political interference.

The American people deserve a full accounting of this wrongdoing.

Generally speaking I think President Trump has done a very good job handling the conflict in Afghanistan and opening new opportunities between the United States and Pakistan.

It is my hope that one day all American forces will be able to return home.
A drawdown to 2,500 counter-terrorism forces may be sufficient, but should be conditions based, to protect America’s interests.

I look forward to hearing our commander’s views on this matter.
It is imperative, for our own national security, that a counter-terrorism force remain in Afghanistan until conditions warrant their removal.

A counter-terrorism force in Afghanistan is an insurance policy against another 9/11.

Every day we are one step closer to a vaccine to deal a crushing blow to COVID-19.

What will America look like after the virus?

Under #BidenHarris2020 we get:

➡️ Higher taxes, more spending, and stifling regulations – all are wet blankets on a recovering economy.
➡️ Open borders.
➡️ Free health care for illegals.
➡️ Less support for the police and more chaos and destruction on our streets.
➡️ An expanded Supreme Court packed with new liberal activist judges.
➡️ A weakened, dispirited American military.
➡️ A United States on the march toward socialism.

Under #TrumpPence2020 we get:

➡️ Lower taxes, less regulation, fairer trade deals, and a country on the pathway to quickly rebuilding our economy.

Appears @harrisonjaime is skipping tonights debate.

Mr. Harrision is ducking the debate because the more we know about his radical policies, the less likely he is to win. It's not about medicine, its politics.

His liberal views are a loser in South Carolina - and he knows it!
Mr. Harrison is demanding special treatment.

Other than Mr. Harrison, is any other South Carolinian demanding every person they come in contact with be tested before they meet?
Are South Carolina workers demanding all their coworkers and customers be tested before going to work?

Do restaurants demand their staff & customers be tested before opening?

It’s good to see former VP @JoeBiden is embracing a residual counter terrorism force in #Afghanistan as an insurance policy against the re-emergence of ISIS and al-Qaeda, both of whom still desire to attack American interests and kill Americans.

@JoeBiden The US intelligence community and US military are strongly encouraging and supporting a small counter-terrorism force remaining in Afghanistan.
@JoeBiden Apparently, Joe Biden is listening and appears to have learned from the mistakes he and President Obama made in Iraq when the ordered a full and complete withdrawal.

Great news for South Carolina!

I am very pleased President @realDonaldTrump listened to the desires of South Carolina and included our state in the extension of the current moratorium on offshore drilling.

@realDonaldTrump This issue has been a long time coming and I have worked extensively with President Trump about this issue as it relates to South Carolina.
@realDonaldTrump When I first learned that there would be an extension of the ban on drilling off the Florida coast, I contacted South Carolina officials to gauge their interest.

Had a great morning in downtown Camden with Amy Kinard, President of the Kershaw County Chamber. ImageImageImage
Amy introduced me to Kathryn, who was recognized by @SBAgov as South Carolina’s 2019 Young Entrepreneur of the Year, and Monica to hear about the impact of PPP loans on their small businesses and how Washington can support Main Street as we rebuild the economy.
We also stopped by the Habitat for Humanity ReStore to discuss how their work helps South Carolinians achieve the American Dream of becoming homeowners. Image
