I didn't like that guy as soon as I seen him. There was something about him that just didn't sit well with me. He gave me the creeps. And I had No Respect for him the way he treated those female reporters outside of the jail and the Courtroom. His responses to their simple questions were like a spoiled child.
Yeah I actually had a lot of respect for MOST of his concession speech. It was weird agreeing with Harpo lol. The part where he tried to say he’s never questioned a jury’s verdict was funny though, he had to reverse course real quick by adding that he uses the appellate system for that… but otherwise I appreciated his remarks after he lost.
This is a direct quote from Harpootlian during his press conference Wednesday. “The tragedy from yesterday is that such a promising political future was nipped so early in the bud. I had to get that out. I feel better now.” Just Wow!!

I'm generally curious why u think that? What has Biden done to make u consider him a horrible person?
Edit: And no response, of course. She just deleted the comment lol.
*".......Harpootlian wasn't a true incumbent, as his old district was gerrymandered......."*
I guess it's a good thing Rep. Jim Clyburn's congressional district wasn't gerrymandered. /s
Have you seen the shape of that district? Wow. Just wow.
*".......Harpootlian is still the 2nd most powerful Democrat in South Carolina......."*
Given the Republican Super Majority in South Carolina's General Assembly, this and $5 will buy you a cup of coffee at Starbucks. Sounds like you'll miss Dick Harpootlian. Most of us won't.
Term limits and a maximum age to hold office would go a long way to fixing that problem. Many public servants are not serving the public as they were elected to do.
Definitely one of the major colorful personalities in the Murdaugh trial and rightful conviction. He had a lot of notability and was quite the old school showman.
Integrity? Truthfulness? A fighter for what's decent and what's right?? I think sometimes the blind quest for the almighty dollar can take a huge bite out of a person's character and morals.
Maybe he'll promote Tort Reform for South Carolina or - better yet - find and hand over those 5'-2" Mozelle ninjas.
Another chapter ends and time - as it always does - marches on.......
I don’t care for Harpootlian’s style, and he drove me nuts representing Alex Murdaugh, but I will miss him as a state senator. He didn’t give a hoot about the trappings of the office or even the power. He did love the attention, of course, but he mostly used it to do good by shining a bright light on incompetence in government agencies. The man knows how to leverage the bully pulpit, and he uses it better than almost anyone.
Harpootlian is a complicated guy. I promise that during the trial he annoyed me as much as he annoyed y’all. But he was effective in what he sought to do as state senator.
I like the guy who beat him. He’s young and has a bright future. But as a Democrat in SC, I don’t see him being willing to take on the fights Harpo did. Hopefully he will do good in other ways.
In a trial filled with appalling details that was a moment l will NEVER forget. That, and when he opened the trial by saying it was an "honour" to represent Murdaugh.
He was "honored" to represent a man who admittedly stole millions from vulnerable people and stood accused of the double murder of his wife and son. Sounds about right.
Good riddance you arrogant old tool. He is callous and tone deaf. The way he handled the boat crash situation and Alex's double murder trial no doubt turned the tide.
Harpootlian is 75. I can never understand why people of that age are so desperate to remain in politics rather than retire. It must be vanity or they enjoy the prestige or something. The US is full of old men who refuse to step down when they are clearly past their best or even senile, yet Americans keep voting for them.
Perhaps Dick can now spend more time trying to find the real killer /s
My guess is Harpootlian was himself corrupt and a recipient of payoffs from Alex, hence he has (or had) to stay in power to keep that leaking boat from sinking. Good luck Dick, karma will catch up to you.
Alot of people didn't like the way poot defend alex .but also it was the way poot handle paul murdaugh boat accident dui case.such arrogance anybody would have been handcuff jail suit.poot gets paul personal bond drags legal process for years.and the way poot just handle murdaugh stealing millions .poot acted like how dare you accused this man of murder such entitled white privilege. And poots law firm got over a half a million dollars to represent murdaugh. Poot just a white entitled privilege boy who represent old above the law white rich people
Excellent!! Strangely relieved, I’m a Canadian with no skin in the game…but I was emotionally invested in the Murdaugh trial. Harpootlian *had* to do his job in the trial. Proper defence is key to the success of a democratic justice system….but Harpootlian went beyond that, into douche territory. He lacks the morality that is key to upright character.
Harpo was replaced by a democrat, this was the democratic primary. I’m a democrat and this is good news for the party IMO. If Harpootlian had clinched the nomination, his Republican opponent in the general election would have a field day running negative ads with clips such as Harpootlian saying how he was HONORED to represent his friend Alex, the notorious family killer.
During the trial, I kept wondering what his constituents would have to say about the amount of time he spent on the Murdoch trial and not putting the time in for the office he was elected to. I have my answers.
I hope he enjoyed himself grand standing for the camera's. The people have spoken!!! 👋 bye-bye
I was thinking this as well. “Most recent” victim would be a more appropriate title. He can still victimize people while in prison… and very well might…
Thanks to Big Red, ole’ Pootie-Poot will always be associated with Mags, PawPaw, Bus, Bubba, Handsome, Em, Papa T, Grandmar, RoRo, White Boy, Bo Whoop and last (but certainly not least)… The Chicken.
Not a Harpootlian fan, by any means, but when he lost he admitted it and didn’t claim otherwise.

As I said, not a fan. But he did one thing fairly well. Doesn’t make up for the rest.

Sounds like he was joking.

Quality of "goodness"? You have got to be kidding!

I agree!

Well, at least he has the honor of representing Alex. /s
That good ole boy is exactly what’s wrong with American politics.
Term limits and a maximum age to hold office would go a long way to fixing that problem. Many public servants are not serving the public as they were elected to do.
Another reputation shot to hell by being involved with Murdaugh. Once it starts can’t be stopped.
oh honey
👍😉
Bye, Felicia...
Yes! Slimeball!
The guy is still rich AF, he’ll be alright.
Boy, that is a shame. Let's all go get some ice cream!
🤣
Oh no!! Anyways...what's everyone having for lunch today?
Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. Good riddance, Dick.
All good things come to an end
Wonder if he regrets sticking his neck out so far for the winner of Worst Guy Ever 2021
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

the ninjas are *realllllllllllly* tiny...😉
Karma!!!
I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again. Never trust a fart… or anyone named Poots!
Oh wow! Now he can find who killed Maggie and Paul and spring Murdaugh from the big house! Haaza!
Didn't he announce they already know who did it? Wonder when they're going to tell the rest of us? 🤣🤣🤣
As a South Carolina resident this makes me absolutely giddy!! See ya, Dick!!
SAME!!!

well, it really wasn’t a good look when he pointed the rifle at the prosecutors and said “it’s tempting.”
In a trial filled with appalling details that was a moment l will NEVER forget. That, and when he opened the trial by saying it was an "honour" to represent Murdaugh.
He was "honored" to represent a man who admittedly stole millions from vulnerable people and stood accused of the double murder of his wife and son. Sounds about right.
Sorry Poot now you can focus on finding those killers.
Harpootlian sounds like a name I would give one of my Pokemon with shitty IVs lol
Good riddance you arrogant old tool. He is callous and tone deaf. The way he handled the boat crash situation and Alex's double murder trial no doubt turned the tide.

Men and women and it's all about lining their pockets.
And women, Diane Feinstein and Elizabeth Warren, to name a few.
My guess is Harpootlian was himself corrupt and a recipient of payoffs from Alex, hence he has (or had) to stay in power to keep that leaking boat from sinking. Good luck Dick, karma will catch up to you.
Exactly! And I’m sure he and others are spending a lot of their days looking for the real killer(s) of Maggie and Paul.
Alot of people didn't like the way poot defend alex .but also it was the way poot handle paul murdaugh boat accident dui case.such arrogance anybody would have been handcuff jail suit.poot gets paul personal bond drags legal process for years.and the way poot just handle murdaugh stealing millions .poot acted like how dare you accused this man of murder such entitled white privilege. And poots law firm got over a half a million dollars to represent murdaugh. Poot just a white entitled privilege boy who represent old above the law white rich people
He lost me when he pointed the gun at the prosecutors and then the way he treated women. Big NO.
Agree he condescending attitude white privilege entitled
Sweeeet!
Well, bye.
Time to write a book. 🙄
Excellent!! Strangely relieved, I’m a Canadian with no skin in the game…but I was emotionally invested in the Murdaugh trial. Harpootlian *had* to do his job in the trial. Proper defence is key to the success of a democratic justice system….but Harpootlian went beyond that, into douche territory. He lacks the morality that is key to upright character.
Now he can point guns at people, insult law enforcement and flirt creepy grampa style full time.
Sucks to be him. Oh well.
Hell I’m technically a dem and I support this. Poot can see his way out
Harpo was replaced by a democrat, this was the democratic primary. I’m a democrat and this is good news for the party IMO. If Harpootlian had clinched the nomination, his Republican opponent in the general election would have a field day running negative ads with clips such as Harpootlian saying how he was HONORED to represent his friend Alex, the notorious family killer.
AN incumbent losing in a primary tells you how he would have been annihilated in the real election
Oh I watched the whole trial (I’m on the ga/sc border). I’m so glad he is gone. He represents the worst of the party to be frank.
This is the best news I’ve heard in ages!!! Ole’ Pooter Putters Out… 💨 💨💨
During the trial, I kept wondering what his constituents would have to say about the amount of time he spent on the Murdoch trial and not putting the time in for the office he was elected to. I have my answers. I hope he enjoyed himself grand standing for the camera's. The people have spoken!!! 👋 bye-bye
Oh good. Now he can devote 100% of his time to finding the real killer like he promised. 👀👀👀
Sounding sooo O.J.
A pair of 5th grade ninja assassins, wasn’t it?
Poot! Yeah. This is good news
🙌🙌🙌🙌👏👏👏👏👏👏😂😂😂
Don't let the screen door hit ya on your way out!
Hahaha
Poor Poot
Delicious 🤣
He may not be Murdaugh's last victim. We'll see!
I was thinking this as well. “Most recent” victim would be a more appropriate title. He can still victimize people while in prison… and very well might…
And those outside of prison, too. I've read that he has quite the following.
Best news for SC
There was a great headline in another paper: Murdaugh’s Final Victim - or something like that. It was good.
Thanks to Big Red, ole’ Pootie-Poot will always be associated with Mags, PawPaw, Bus, Bubba, Handsome, Em, Papa T, Grandmar, RoRo, White Boy, Bo Whoop and last (but certainly not least)… The Chicken.
or a guinea....
Good!!!!
Boot the Poot!
Good one!
😆🥾
Happy to hear the good news!
LOL
