Roan Garcia-Quintana of Mauldin says criticisms aimed at him are "desperate."
UPDATED 9:20 P.M. Tim Pearson sent Patch the following statement: "Ms. Sosanie, Vince Sheheen, and the Democrat Party weren't concerned about how this country viewed South Carolina when their leader made racial and then misogynist attacks on the governor, nor when he compared her to Hitler's girlfriend. They weren't concerned when their colleague, Phil Bailey, racially slurred her. And they were completely silent when a leading Democrat legislator referred to Nikki Haley, an Indian-American, as someone who wasn't a minority but just 'a conservative with a tan.' Their faux outrage is just that - faux, political, and as uninteresting to South Carolinians as where they want to take our state." -------------------- The controversial volunteer …

Campaign says Dems haven't acted on those who used racial epithets against her.
UPDATED 3:50 p.m: SC Democratic Chair Jamie Harrison has weighed in on the growing controversy around Mauldin resident Roan Garcia-Quintana's involvement with Nikki Haley's re-election team: "Phil Bailey apologized for a joke that was clearly in poor taste. Mr Quintana has been unapologetic about his opposition to "mixing races" and spent his career leading organizations that defended Jim Crow laws and have been identified as white nationalist groups. Nikki Haley appointing an accused white supremacist to her campaign committee is appalling and no joke for the people of South Carolina." ------------------------------------------ Over the past week, several media outlets have reported that one of the volunteers for Gov. Nikki Haley's re-…
