Peeler should run for governor

Thank God for State Senate Majority Leader Harvey Peeler (R, Cherokee). On Nov. 16, Senator Peeler hand-delivered a letter to Governor Nikki Haley exposing her duplicity regarding President Obama’s refugee program.

“You are on record supporting this refugee program,” Peeler wrote. “I implore you to cancel the agreement you and the Department of Social Services have made with third-party groups to provide shelter to potential terrorists.”

In her predictably hypocritical fashion, Nikki Haley has since written Obama, petitioning him to slow approval of “Syrian,” and not international, refugees.

Everyone knows that ISIS supporters come from many Muslim countries, not just Syria.  More familiar with the nature of the crisis and more proactive solutions, Senator Peeler should run for governor.
