At 17, I dropped out of high school. 

My parents — a tough Army General and an even tougher schoolteacher — gave me two choices: go back to school, or get a job.

So I went to work… at a fine-dining establishment some of you may know as Waffle House.

Graveyard shift. Sticky floors. And no silver spoons.

Just a spatula, grit, and God's grace.

That wasn’t my destination — just the beginning.

25 years ago, I made history as the first woman to graduate from The Citadel.

A campus where we SALUTE the flag — we don’t burn it.

Now, I’m a single mom, a two-term Congresswoman, and the first Republican woman EVER elected from South Carolina.

I didn’t get here because of connections.

I got here the hard way.

And I’ve been FIGHTING ever since:

💥 I stood up to race-baiting CNN anchors on live TV.

💥 I called out trans activists trying to protest me in a women’s restroom.

💥 I’ve suffered DEATH THREATS for fighting to keep MEN out of women’s bathrooms. 

This isn’t about headlines.

It’s about honoring God, defending freedom, and telling the truth.

Patriot, if you're tired of spineless politicians and fake fighters —

Stand with me.
