This man showed such promise to the highly discerning Thing that Used to be Conservatism

…that it promoted him to Executive Director of the South Carolina GOP:

Oh, but that’s not all:

A number of media outlets detailed a range of inflammatory messages he posted to his Twitter account^[11][12] in 2013, which include mocking Florida shooting victim Trayvon Martin^[13] and saying that transgendered people should be placed in a concentration-style camp.^[2][14][15] He also posted to his Twitter account that it’s a shameMichael Prysner, an Iraq war veteran turned anti-war organizer, “didn’t come home in a body bag.”^[16] His Twitter account was suspended in late 2013.^[11][17] In early 2014, he created a new Twitter account named “Todd__Kincannon”, on which he allegedly made sexist and homophobic statements, many referencing Texas gubernatorial candidate Wendy Davis in defamatory ways.^[18][19][20] The traditionalist conservative author Rod Dreher highlighted tweets in which Kincannon, identifying himself as a Southern Baptist, labeled Dreher (who isEastern Orthodox) a “papist” and compared infant baptism to Chinese water torture. ^[21] He also received backlash for boasting to the father of Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl that he would attempt to convince the attorney general to pursue capital punishment for his son.^[22] In September, 2014, Kincannon tweeted that football player Ray Ricewas justified in beating his fiancé.^[23] In October of the same year, Kincannon posted a series of tweets advocating summary execution for anyone contracting the Ebola virus, and blaming “the people of Africa” for its spread: “They could stop eating each other and learn calculus at any time”.^[24]

Now, I know what you are thinking.  Just because a man spends six years in the SC GOP and rises to the level of Executive Director of the Party of Personal Responsibility and wins the trust and admiration of his constituents does *not* mean that the Party of Personal Responsibility is responsible for giving him a position of trust and leadership.  Nothing the Party of Personal Responsibility does wrong is *ever* the fault of that party.  Indeed, I’m totally sure all of this lunacy was totally, *totally* without warning *at all* during that entire six years and everybody was totally *blindsided* by his utter craziness. I mean, since when have conservatives ever turned a blind eye to say, conservative folk heroes who liken waterboarding to the sacrament of baptism, or cheered for a conservative folk hero who said the federal government did not exist and who wanted to use women and children as human shields in a shooting war with that government, or spent years and years cheering for people who claim that Obama is a Muslim Kenyan terrorist, or fought to defend a priest who ditched his vows to become “The Black Sheepdog” or hailed a talk show host for being open to *both* sides of the wife/child beating question? Or reflexively accused people who do notice these things of being proabort liberal apologists. No, Conservative common sense and discernment would * surely* have detected any warning signs in this guy *long* ago.  So it must be that it is only since he became too publicly radioactive to hide suddenly started saying inexplicably awful things only super-recently that his base and former colleagues are shocked–SHOCKED!– to discover his true views.
