Columbia, SC.—South Carolina Republican Party Chairman Drew McKissick released the following statement today regarding Martin Luther King, Jr. Day:

“MLK Day is a time to honor one of our country’s greatest champions for change, justice, and equal rights. Dr. King fought to challenge our country to live up to the ideals that our nation was founded on, including the belief that all us are created equal.

“Under President Trump’s leadership, Republicans have fought hard to pass legislation and support policies that benefit all Americans, regardless of where you were born, what color you are, or what your economic status is, all ideals that Martin Luther King, Jr. stood for. We look forward to continuing to move our nation forward over the next 4 years.”
