SC governor candidate tries to recall rogue 'massacre in Gaza' email

By Bristow Marchant

One campaign for governor of South Carolina had its messaging unexpectedly hijacked over Memorial Day weekend.

On Sunday, an email went out from Democrat Phil Noble's campaign email account denouncing an anti-Semitism measure in the S.C. Legislature.

With the subject line "The First Amendment Doesn't Have a 'Palestine Exception,' " the email blasted President Donald Trump's "disastrous move to relocate our embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem" and the "massacre in Gaza."

The email went on to denounce a proposal to adopt new standards at S.C. universities for combating anti-Semitism (http://www.thestate.com/news/politics-government/article137413988.html) on college campuses, saying its "main purpose is to curb pro-Palestinian activism."

Knockout blows and beach houses: Who won the final Democratic debate for SC governor?

COLUMBIA, SC The State asked four political scientists from South Carolina — plus an expert in debates from the University of Michigan — for their assessment of Monday's Democratic debate for S.C. governor (http://www.thestate.com/news/politics-government/politics-columns-blogs/the-buzz/article212475084.html).
Monday's debate at the University of South Carolina was the last stage all three candidates will share before the June 12 primary.
The candidates are Charleston technology consultant Phil Noble (http://www.thestate.com/news/politics-government/article211262559.html), Columbia attorney and state Rep. James Smith (http://www.thestate.com/news/politics-government/article211590274.html) and Florence anti-trust attorney Marguerite Willis (http://www.thestate.com/news/politics-government/article211153524.html).
Here's what South Carolina's Bob Oldendick, College of Charleston's Gibbs Knotts, Winthrop University's Karen Kedrowski, Furman's Danielle Vinson and University of Michigan's Aaron Kall had to say about the candidates' performance:

Best line or moment

Oldendick: "The best moment of the debate came in James Smith’s response to the other candidates’ questions about his ethics. He was able to neutralize this by referring to his competence as a lawyer and to turn the question from intra-party attacks to doing what is best for the state and winning in November. This response got the biggest applause of the night.
"The best line of the night also went to Smith in this segment. After Noble raised questions about his Smith’s ethics, (moderator) Charles Bierbauer asked him if he wanted to respond. Smith deferred, saying that he’d let Willis speak first, since he anticipated — correctly — that he would have to respond to both of them. One of the few laugh lines on the night.
"Second place goes to Noble’s comment on the governor’s role in education when he commented, 'Look at my two opponents. One of them thinks education is not the governor’s job and the other has proven he can’t do it.' A good — and underappreciated — line."
