South Carolina Republicans are under fire after backing a resolution honoring Vice President Kamala Harris—while simultaneously blocking tax relief for residents.
Former Freedom Caucus leader Adam Morgan joins Tara to break down what critics are calling a full-blown betrayal: higher taxes, blocked Trump-era cuts, gas tax controversies, and a growing disconnect between voters and leadership.
Is this incompetence—or something deeper?
