McKissick whips Wood in South Carolina GOP race Conspiracy theorist Lin Wood had sought to portray the incumbent state party chairman as an establishment moderate. https://www.politico.com/news/2021/05/15/south-carolina-gop-chair-mckissick-488485 Pro-Trump lawyer Lin Wood’s bid to bring “chaos” to South Carolina’s GOP was halted on Saturday when he failed to unseat the party’s chairman after baselessly accusing the incumbent of voter fraud and a host of other slurs. Chairman Drew McKissick’s reelection was not in doubt among knowledgeable Republicans who say the party delegate rules favor longtime insiders. Wood, an accomplished trial lawyer from Georgia who turned into a conspiracy theorist, moved this year from Georgia and mounted an unexpectedly strong candidacy for a complete outsider. McKissick beat Wood by a final vote of 68-28 percent at the low-key socially distanced convention in Columbia, where coronavirus social distancing rules prevented the delegates from meeting in one large hall — something Wood pushed for to take advantage of his fire-breathing, crowd-riling style. Votes were held in satellite meetings throughout the state’s 46 counties. “Drew is a cheater,” Wood, without evidence, said to his huge following on Telegram before the vote. “If he ‘wins’ today, he will be a Fake Chairman just like Biden is a Fake President!” After the vote, Wood swiped at McKissick for telling the truth at a recent forum where he admitted Joe Biden was legitimately elected president: “Congratulations to Drew ‘Biden Won’ McKissick. Drew won the delegates in an establishment created election. I won We The People. Drew will learn in time that ALL the power belongs to We The People.” In a statement released by the state party, McKissick said: "Thanks to the grassroots activists across the state, the SCGOP is stronger than it's ever been. ... Now we can roll up our sleeves to continue what we do best–win elections." Wood’s constant attacks on McKissick, whom he trashed with a host of dark but vague innuendos, concerned some old-time Republicans because Wood attracted crowds of hundreds of conservatives who, though not delegates, could be led astray by Wood undermining the party leadership and spreading conspiracy theories at his events, which also featured National Security Adviser Mike Flynn and My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell, who are associated with the Q-Anon movement. Wood, a high-profile defamation lawyer, had sought to portray McKissick as not doing enough to support Trump after the November elections. McKissick, though, was twice endorsed by Trump after Wood entered the race — the final time on Friday — as Wood tried to cast doubt on the truth of the endorsements. McKissick canceled the state party primary in 2020, allowing Trump to take the state’s delegates unopposed. South Carolina holds outsized importance on the primary calendar, as it’s traditionally the first such contest held in the South. The official delegate totals in the GOP chair race: McKissick 582 votes (68%); Wood 239 votes (28%); Michael LaPierre 27 votes (3%); Mark Powell 10 votes (1%). LaPierre, a former senate candidate, ditched his clean-cut look from 2020 and took to wearing a coonskin cap during this race, earning him the nickname “Davy Crockett” from Wood. Considering Wood’s charisma and McKissick’s stature in the party, LaPierre’s cap was understandable in South Carolina’s “circus” of a GOP chairman’s race, according to veteran Republican strategist Luke Byers. “If you’re that guy, what are you going to do for attention?” Byers said. “You might have to wear a coonskin cap.”

Lin Wood Claims No Planes Hit Twin Towers and Pentagon on 9/11: 'We Got Played' Pro-Trump attorney Lin Wood continues to promote conspiracy theories and misinformation at conservative events around the country, claiming at a Friday rally that no planes hit the Twin Towers or the Pentagon on September 11, 2001. Wood rose to national prominence in late 2020 as he worked with attorney Sidney Powell and other Trump allies to file baseless election challenge lawsuits alleging that the presidential election was "rigged" or "stolen" from former President Donald Trump. The lawyer has continued to spread misinformation about the election, as well as promote other bizarre conspiracy theories within conservative circles in recent months. "Let's talk about CGI—computer graphics generated images. You know what CGI is? You know what deep fake videos are? I know you know what Photoshopping is," Wood told a crowd in Glynn County, Georgia on Friday. The conspiracy theorist went on to suggest that the infamous videos and photos of the 9/11 attacks were just CGI or deep fakes. "On 9/11 what appeared to be a plane hit one building, what appeared to be a plane hit another building, then later that night another building fell down. It wasn't hit by a dadgum thing," he said. Wood went on to claim that the Pentagon "got hit by a missile," not a plane. "There were no plane fragments found at any of the sites—New York, Pennsylvania, the Pentagon."

We got played by people who are so evil that for money they killed 2,800 Americans on that day—including policemen and firefighters," Wood said. He then called former President George W. Bush "a criminal" and said he should "go to jail." Wood shared clips of his remarks at the Georgia event through his Telegram channel. In a post to his channel, the lawyer said that the crowd "wanted to hear the TRUTH about 9/11." "Many people in the country want to hear it. We ALL need to hear it and face it. We must face the TRUTH, the good, the bad, and the ugly," he wrote. "The TRUTH about 9/11 is ugly.
