Local television news is generally considered a key part of where voters get their information in the closing days of a primary.
In an interview with WCSC Charleston, Thompson gets to hit the federal government for not doing enough about illegal immigration and the need to secure the border, the importance of the Iraq war in the war on terror, and what responsibilities the government has and doesn’t have.
He’s also asked, “What is your guilty pleasure that people don’t know about?”
“Well…None of my pleasures are guilty ones. I enjoy a good cigar every once in a while, but I don’t feel guilty about it.”
If all of Thompson’s local television in South Carolina is like this, he’s got little reason to complain.
