South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster spoke frankly against the actions of students across the county who participated in National Walkout Day just one month after 17 people were killed in a shooting at a Florida high school.
Addressing members of the media at the State House, McMaster called the demonstration shameful, and that the protests are a tactic implemented by a left-wing group and use teens to disseminate their political agenda.
“I understand that there is a left-wing group that is coordinating this around the country,” McMaster said. “I think the children, it appears that these school children – these innocent school children – are being used as a tool by these left-wing group to further their own agenda. It is not about the tragedy, it’s not about the school children or what we should all do and what these students should do.
