🧵WOLF IN SHEEP'S CLOTHING: Meet David Pascoe, candidate for SC Attorney General. He's running as a Republican. But is he actually a Democrat?

Joe Biden is in South Carolina today.

Which makes this the perfect moment to introduce you to David Pascoe, candidate for SC Attorney General, running as a Republican, and what he said about Joe Biden in January 2020:

"He is the most decent man I have ever met in American politics. Joe has been a role model of mine for many years. He is someone my sons look up to. Joe is the first and only candidate I have ever endorsed for public office."

That's not only a Democrat who voted for Biden. That's a Democrat who hosted Biden's campaign fundraiser at his own annual oyster roast, endorsed him for president, and was Biden's frontrunner to become US Attorney for South Carolina.

David Pascoe spent 20+ years as an elected Democrat, 6 consecutive terms as SC First Circuit Solicitor. He pushed DEI-style racial quota systems for SC judges as recently as December 2023. Six months before his "conversion," he endorsed a Democratic state rep who voted against banning gender procedures on minors.

And here are the receipts. 👇

As always, patience as I pull together this thread.

David Pascoe spent 20+ years as an elected Democrat, 6 consecutive terms as SC First Circuit Solicitor. On April 10, 2025, he switched to the GOP. SC Dem Chair Christale Spain says he "has been trying to find a lane to run for higher office."

Pascoe switched parties in April 2025.
Pascoe launched his AG campaign in August 2025.
That's 4 months, in a state where no Democrat has won a statewide race since 2006.
You do the math.

In Jan 2020, Pascoe endorsed Biden for president, his "first and only" endorsement of any candidate in his life. He called Biden "a role model of mine for many years" and "someone my sons look up to."

"He is the most decent man I have ever met in American politics."

That's what David Pascoe said about Joe Biden in January 2020.

He is now running for SC Attorney General as a Republican.

Read this quote again.

"Joe is the first and only candidate I have ever endorsed for public office."

I've been warning you that NGOs have a goal of installing establishment candidates in Republican primaries. David Pascoe is proof.

Before that endorsement, Biden came to Pascoe's turf. In Jan 2020, Biden attended Pascoe's annual Oyster Roast & Fish Fry at the Orangeburg County Fairgrounds... over 250 people. This was Pascoe's event, his crowd, his stage.

The Biden fundraiser wasn't a one-off. Pascoe's Oyster Roast at the Orangeburg County Fairgrounds hosted Hillary Clinton in 2016 too. He was a Democratic presidential kingmaker in SC for a decade. This was not a passive Democrat.

Pascoe has become a running joke, with people making skits of him on the phone with Biden even as he tries to pretend to be a Republican... that’s how unbelievable his transformation is to voters on the ground in SC.

After Biden won in 2020, Pascoe was the frontrunner to be named US Attorney for South Carolina... Biden's pick for his state's top federal prosecutor. This is not the biography of a conservative.

December 2023, 16 months before his "conversion"... Pascoe demanded SC's judiciary use a DEI-style racial quota system for judge recommendations. "It is insanity for anyone not to support reform for the good of our state."

Then there's the Heather Bauer endorsement. In October 2024, just months before his "conversion," Pascoe endorsed a Democratic state rep with a 28% Freedom Index rating. His exact words: "no one has demonstrated more courage."

Heather Bauer voted AGAINST SC's ban on gender reassignment procedures for minors (H4624). That bill passed 82-23 and was signed into law May 2024. Pascoe endorsed her in October 2024.

Bauer also: opposed the ban on DEI mandates, opposed permitless concealed carry, and supported voter registration provisions for illegal immigrants. This is who Pascoe said showed "more courage" than any other SC House member.

In 2012, Pascoe crossed into NC to volunteer for Obama's reelection campaign. "I wanted to volunteer a few hours of my day. I would like to get up there at least one or two more Saturdays."

"You can call me a RINO. You call me an SOB, just don't call me a liberal because I'm more conservative, especially on criminal justice issues."

David Pascoe, June 30, 2025

He got the first part right.

His own X post: "I've sat on stages with the most powerful Democrats in the country, but they never liked me." You endorsed Biden. You hosted Biden (and Clinton). Biden tried to make you his US Attorney.

With all due respect @davidpascoesc, they liked you fine.

@davidpascoesc SC Democratic Party Chair Christale Spain had the most honest take on all of it: Pascoe "has been trying to find a lane to run for higher office." No Democrat wins statewide in SC. He needed a different lane.

@davidpascoesc CONCLUSION:

David Pascoe didn't leave the Democrats. The Democrats just became inconvenient for his career. SC Republican primary voters deserve to know who they're actually voting for. The record is clear... and it's all sourced above. 👆

Thread end.

@davidpascoesc A few people swearing they know David Pascoe and he's actually a conservative.

Sorry, I think given all those receipts especially the judiciary DEI, it's way more likely he's telling you what you want to hear.

I've been relatively quiet on the subject of right-wing influencers who defected from MAGA.

But if they are actually proposing unity with left wing populist movements, then they are proposing unity with Communists.

That is the red line for me.

https://twitter.com/ConceptualJames/status/2051513835702337702

Everyone has their opinion on the Iran war or Israel. Maybe that opinion is enough to deter them from supporting Trump. I may not agree with it, but I understand where it comes from and it's a free country.

But when that turns into allying with Communists - that's when I have to speak up.

Institutional left-wing populism IS Communism. I'm not using it as a slur as in everyone to the left is a Communist. I mean it literally.

I'm talking about PSL, CODEPINK, Singham groups. The movements on the left that are anti-globalist are overwhelmingly Marxist.

🚨🧵 BREAKING: Former DHS Chief Miles Taylor's prank site collected death threats against the President and 4,000+ people's personal data. Then exposed them through all an open API. 🚨

Two days ago, I showed you how Miles Taylor's GTFO ICE site exposed 17,000+ people's data on an open API. That site halted sign-ups and is still "under construction."

But Taylor's organization DEFIANCE[.]org didn't just build one leaky site. They built two. On the same server.

UndoTrump[.]org — launched April 1, 2026 as an "April Fools' joke" — collects names, emails, and political messages from people signing up for fictional "Removal Parties" at government buildings. The White House Ballroom. The Kennedy Center. The DOJ. Battleships.

4,000+ signup records. 3,300+ unique people. Same vulnerability. Same API. Same zero authentication.

And this one has death threats against a sitting President in the database.

The man who was deputy chief of staff for the department that houses the Secret Service couldn't secure a sign-up form. Again.

As always, patience as I pull together the thread. 👇

Here's a video of Miles himself soliciting PII in sign-ups. He implies he's not saving the user data... but he did.

Same server. Same IP address. 34.111.179.208. Google Cloud Platform. Same React 19 frontend. Same Express.js backend. Same registrar. Domains registered 13 days apart.

This wasn't two mistakes. This was one codebase deployed twice. Name.com

🧵🚨 BREAKING: Miles Taylor: "Anonymous," former DHS Chief of Staff, Google security executive launched a website called GTFO ICE that collects your full name, email, phone number, and zip code to join an anti-ICE "rapid response network." And publishes the user infromation via a public API. 🚨

17,662 people have signed up.

The sign-up data is exposed on a public REST API. No true authentication. No rate limiting. Full records: names, emails, phone numbers, zip codes, timestamps.

The man who ran the third-largest federal department (250,000 employees, $60 billion budget) who oversaw election security architecture and led counterterrorism operations, then served as Google's Head of National Security Policy...

...can't secure a sign-up form. But he does milk hundreds of thousands of NGO dollars on these credentials. While freeloading off his fame as the person who wrote the infamous NYT article "I Am Part of the Resistance Inside the Trump Administration."

And despite me pinging @MilesTaylorUSA about this 12 hours ago, the REST API is still wide open and exposed as of now. Everything has been turned over to FBI, HSI, ICE, and more agencies.

As always, patience as I pull together the thread. 👇

Taylor's security clearance was suspended by presidential memorandum in April 2025. Trump called his conduct "treasonous." Five months later, Taylor launched DEFIANCE dot org. Five months after that... GTFO ICE.

GTFO ICE is a coalition of three orgs:

1. DEFIANCE dot org : Miles Taylor + Xander Schultz
2. Save America Movement : Steve Schmidt (yes, of the Lincoln Project)
3. Project Salt Box

🧵 THREAD: You've heard the phrase "OUR DEMOCRACY" a million times. But what exactly is "OUR DEMOCRACY"? 🤔

When they say "democracy," they don't mean a republic. They don't mean consent of the governed. They don't mean your right to choose your own leaders.

They mean a system where "institutions" - NGOs, multilaterals, the permanent bureaucracy - advance a set of values they consider settled: equality, social justice, cosmopolitanism, global governance. These values aren't proposals to be voted on. They're treated as moral prerequisites that must be true *before* your vote counts.

Despite what they say, they aren't for checks and balances. Checks and balances limit what government can do to you. This limits what you can do to *them*. The brakes are on accountability, not power. The institutions that set the boundaries of acceptable policy have put themselves beyond the reach of the electorate, and they call that arrangement "democracy."

Trump has been an existential threat to this system since the moment he said "drain the swamp" ... because the swamp IS the system. When he threatened those institutions, he didn't threaten the republic. He threatened their immunity from it.

And they said so. On camera. At their own events. In their own words.

As always, patience as I pull together the thread.👇

Robert Kagan:
"I would say there is an argument for saying give me some smoke filled rooms... they weeded out the Donald Trumps of this world."

Backroom deals instead of primaries. Because primaries are how you got Trump... and the old gatekeepers would have stopped him.

Think Kagan's an outlier? Here's Brookings senior fellow William Galston at the National Endowment for Democracy's (NED) most prestigious annual lecture.

He explains that "liberal democracy" requires "some abridgement of majoritarianism."

Translation: democracy means limiting what the majority can do.

🧵🚨 THREAD: How the Charlottesville rally and SPLC birthed an entire billion-dollar-plus "democracy" ecosystem 🚨

11 federal counts. Wire fraud. Money laundering conspiracy. But here's what the SPLC headlines are missing:

• The indictment describes a paid informant in the leadership chat that PLANNED Unite the Right
• That informant "helped coordinate transportation" to the rally... at SPLC's direction
• There is ONE publicly identified organizer whose documented role was transportation coordinator
• His Discord posts about running over protesters were made 26 DAYS before Heather Heyer was killed by a car
• The indictment says postings were made "under the supervision of the SPLC"
• Charlottesville then became the founding event for a billion-dollar political machine
• SPLC installed itself as that machine's definitional gatekeeper

I report. You draw your own conclusions.

As always, patience as I pull together the thread. 👇

It is NOT confirmed fact that Chesny, who appeared to be encouraging running over protesters, was SPLC's informant.

But the indictment (paragraph 11a) describes informant F-37, and it matches Chesny:

• Member of the online leadership chat that planned Unite the Right
• Attended Charlottesville (at SPLC's direction)
• Made racist postings (under SPLC's supervision)
• Helped coordinate transportation for attendees

Now here's why this matters beyond the fraud charges.

Charlottesville became the single most consequential founding event in modern American political infrastructure. Every one of these organizations says... in their own words.... that they exist or were transformed because of August 12, 2017.

🧵 THREAD: The true reason Pete Hegseth is being targeted is because he's standing between President Trump and a coup

@PeteHegseth named the institutions... CFR, Brookings, the general class... in 37 seconds in a video by @Liz_Wheeler . Within 72 hours of his nomination, a color revolution planning document cited him as an insider threat.

They didn't go after him because of drinking. They didn't go after him because of women. They went after him because every color revolution manual ever written says the same thing: you cannot topple a government unless the security forces defect. And a loyal Secretary of Defense is the one person who makes sure they don't.

I have the receipts. Their own documents. Their own training sessions. Their own words on camera.

As always, patience as I pull together the thread. 👇

@PeteHegseth @Liz_Wheeler This is not my theory. This is theirs.

Erica Chenoweth and Maria Stephan — the two most cited scholars in the color revolution field — studied 323 regime change campaigns. Their finding:

Security force defections make campaigns FORTY-SIX TIMES more likely to succeed.

@PeteHegseth @Liz_Wheeler So what did co-author Maria Stephan do next?

She became Chief Organizer of the Horizons Project. And on July 16, 2025, she trained New Kings participants on video.

"Security forces refused to obey orders to repress protesters."
