The attacks didn’t relent after this, and I personally felt SO upset about the way this was being propagandized, I brought Chad on the podcast to explain his side of the story. I started the show like this:
"Something happened at . . . Rock the Red, over the weekend, and there’s been this report that came out about it that is so utterly contemptuous that I am compelled to speak out about it . . . . I’m going to brief the story and then Chad [Caton], I will bring you in to discuss what happened.”
And then later on in the show I explain what I saw and what was reported to me by other witnesses that night. Mind you, I NEVER said this man’s name, and neither did the Horry County GOP statement.

Then, the man who grabbed the microphone starts talking to the press about suing, and started a GoFundMe.

The same outlet that wrote the initial piece that started the entire public portion of this incident, also published on their website a statement by the man who had the manifesto.

AND THEN ON JULY 21, a week after the censure resolution, I learned from a media article that this guy who caused the disruption with his manifesto was suing me for defamation, along with the Horry County GOP. Not only that, but he sued Chad for assault. PLEASE READ THIS.

And now to the crux of the issue, in my opinion. This is the most abhorrent, disgusting garbage I have ever personally experienced in politics, but here we are. On 7/23 (happened to be my birthday, lucky me!) we learned in the media that this dude’s lawyer had sent a letter to every member of the HCGOP executive committee DEMANDING OUR RESIGNATION FROM OUR POSITIONS IN THE PARTY to drop his lawsuit. Adding insult to injury, he threatened to sue the individual precinct committee members (about 90 people!) for defamation if we did not resign. I don’t want to add too much comment to this right now, for obvious reasons, but PLEASE read this article. https://archive.ph/YmVFE

A small group in our local party then started holding meetings outside of our general procedure to attempt to get a quorum of EC’s to vote to demand we resign. They were unable to reach that quorum. The majority of our committee wanted us to fight this. And fight this, we would.
We hired the law firm of Jesse Binnall to defend us in this nonsense defamation suit.
We have been fighting this every step of the way. This is how things work—if you don’t follow the line, if you try to do things with integrity, if you upset the apple cart in any way, they will come for you. Whether it’s what I consider to be a frivolous civil suit, or they attempt to get you criminally or even in the court of public opinion, at the end of the day their goal is to either bankrupt you or beat you into submission. We said NO. We refused to step down. We refused to cower, and we decided to fight on behalf of all the amazing Americans who ensured we were DULY elected to leadership positions in the Horry County GOP.
