(Columbia, SC)-- Elected officials from South Carolina are reacting to former president Donald Trump being convicted of 34 felony charges.
Governor McMaster posted on social media that the "American people understand that this trial was nothing more than a political attack on President Trump" and that he supports Trump returning to the White House.
U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham also shared his thoughts online, posting that the verdict "will be seen as politically motivated and unfair, and it will backfire tremendously on the political Left".
U.S. Senator Tim Scott also spoke in support of the former president, calling the trail "a politically motivated circus in an effort to engineer an election" on Facebook.
