SC Democrats Demand Mullins McLeod Drop Out of Governor Race as Video of Half-Naked, Screaming Arrest Revealed

South Carolina Democrats have demanded that gubernatorial candidate Mullins McLeod drop his bid after a newly revealed police video shows him in his underwear, raving about President Donald Trump and threatening to kick his Republican opponent’s “teeth in.”

McLeod was spotted by cops in downtown Charleston on May 14, wearing only boxers and shoes, screaming at the top of his lungs.

McLeod was reportedly rambling incoherently as he was approached by officers, telling them he was “Superman” and “God.”

Video of the bizarre police encounter was released earlier this week, showing McLeon shouting from within a police car.

“I wanna kick his teeth in,” McLeod is heard ranting about his Republican gubernatorial opponent at one point. “And I’m gonna kick ’em in!”

McLeod has posted a pair of video statements since the release of the squad car video.

“I felt confident they would come for me because I am a threat to the establishment, which is bipartisan in this state by the way,” McLeod says in one clip on X. “But I share with the voters that no matter how much they try to silence me, no matter how much they try to get me out of this race that I will not stand down. I made that commitment to you.”

But Democrats in the state aren’t convinced, saying it’s best that McLeod step aside.

In a statement posted to X this week, the South Carolina Democratic Party Chair Christale Spain said: “Mullins McLeod is a skilled attorney, a former county Democratic Party chair who worked tirelessly for our values, and a member of a proud Lowcountry family with a long tradition of public service.

“After reviewing the transcript of the dash cam footage from his recent arrest, it is clear that Mr. McLeod is navigating profound challenges and should focus on his mental and emotional well-being instead of a campaign for governor.”

McLeod’s Republican opponent in the governor’s race, S.C. Attorney General Alan Wilson, said Thursday: “The first Democrat to join the governor’s race said he wants to ‘kick my teeth in.’ I am going to give him the benefit of the doubt and assume he means in a general election, not a street fight.”
