Democrat Places ‘Moms For Liberty’ In Same Terror Category As ISIS
A heated debate over public schools in the South Carolina House of Representatives took a dramatic turn this week when a Democratic lawmaker referred to the parental advocacy group Moms for Liberty as a “terrorist group” during remarks on the House floor.
The comment came from Gilda Cobb-Hunter, a longtime Democratic representative from Orangeburg, during a broader debate about the state’s public school system and education policy. “We as a state are running headfirst, headlong, into a public school crisis,” Cobb-Hunter said during her floor speech, criticizing the direction of education policy in South Carolina.
As she urged lawmakers to listen to teachers and parents in struggling public schools, Cobb-Hunter mocked references to parental activist groups supporting school choice.
“I heard a reference up here about some PTA or some — Moms for Liberty? Please,” she said. “They are a terrorist group.” The remark immediately prompted a point of order from another lawmaker calling for decorum on the House floor.
But Cobb-Hunter did not walk back the comment when given the opportunity to respond.
