Henry McMaster in 2022 SC Governor's race

On Energy & Oil: AdWatch: Ban offshore drilling for oil and gas

Gov. Henry McMaster is trying to make his political rival eat his own words by reminding voters of the time Democrat Joe Cunningham praised the Republican for his leadership on the issue of offshore drilling. A new 30-second TV ad called "Thank You" leaves out that McMaster also praised Cunningham that day when the governor thanked Cunningham for his work in Congress on a bill to ban the search for oil and gas off the nation's coasts.

Footage from a Sept. 13, 2019 press conference at Bowens Island Restaurant comes into focus, with Cunningham at the center and McMaster standing alongside him. Then, Cunningham turns back to look at him. "Governor McMaster, I want to thank you for being a leader on this issue from the get go," Cunningham says as yellow text appears on-screen and quotes the portion about McMaster being a leader.
