   01/12/16  House  Introduced (House Journal-page 34)
   01/12/16  House  Referred to Committee on Judiciary
                     (House Journal-page 34)

TO EXPRESS THE DISAPPROVAL OF THE MEMBERS OF THE SOUTH CAROLINA HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES IN THE COMMENTS OF DONALD TRUMP AND TO PUBLICLY STATE THAT HE IS NOT WELCOME IN THE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA.

Whereas, Donald Trump held a rally at the Winthrop Coliseum in Rock Hill on January 8th, 2016; and

Whereas, during the rally, Trump made many inflammatory comments on immigration and Islam; and

Whereas, Rose Hamid, a Muslim woman, was removed from the rally for her silent protest, which was cheered on by the crowd after Trump had played to their fears regarding Islam; and

Whereas, Trump's abrasive and racist rhetoric has been the backbone of his campaign since he announced he was running for President in June; and

Whereas, Trump's campaign tactics have drawn the attention of many concerned citizens, including U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham, who has referred to Trump as "race-baiting, xenophobic bigot;" and

Whereas, Rock Hill has a long history of fighting racism and proudly displays their "No Room For Racism" motto on all city limit signs; and

Whereas, South Carolinians have tirelessly worked to overcome a history of hatred and bigotry and there is no place in this State for anyone who espouses hatred and bigotry as a campaign slogan. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, express collective disapproval with the comments of Donald Trump and state that he is not welcome in the state of South Carolina.
