President Donald Trump hurled an anti-trans slur at a Democratic Senate candidate Monday while throwing his support behind Sen. Darline Graham in South Carolina’s unexpectedly competitive race.
Trump targeted Democrat Annie Andrews in a rage-filled post on his Truth Social platform. Recent polling has shown the race far closer than Republicans expected in ruby-red South Carolina, where Andrews, a pediatrician, is challenging Graham for the seat previously held by her brother, Sen. Lindsey Graham
“Annie ‘Trannie’ Andrews is running against our wonderful Darline Graham for the Senate in South Carolina,” Trump wrote Monday.
“For years my dear friend Lindsey would say that, ‘Darline is the finest, most reliable, and one of the smartest people I have ever known,’” the president continued. Trump said those compliments sometimes upset him “because I thought I had all of those qualities.”
He then returned to attacking Andrews, declaring that Graham is “a High Quality person, maybe the Highest, and Annie Trannie is not.”
Trump claimed that Andrews supports “Transgender for Everyone, Open Borders, Defunding the Police, High Taxes, a Weak Military,” and would “absolutely fight to take your guns away.”
“Trannie is not for South Carolina, and South Carolina must show, in the upcoming Election, that it is not for her,” Trump wrote Monday.
He concluded by urging supporters to “VOTE FOR DARLINE GRAHAM — SHE HAS MY COMPLETE AND TOTAL ENDORSEMENT, AND WILL NOT LET YOU DOWN!”
