When Lt. Gov. Henry McMaster states that other issues are more important than Donald Trump’s claims of assaulting women, what issues is he speaking of?

The safety of half the population of this country seems to be an issue that should concern its leaders. Maybe Mr. McMaster’s comments give us some insight into why South Carolina ranks so high in man-on-woman assaults and deaths. The good ol’ boys just don’t have their priorities straight.
