Henry McMaster actually said...

"We must protect and preserve our history and heritage. It is why we are who we are and why we are here."

"The report that I've received so far, there have been no buildings lost and no lives lost. It was a great performance."

"South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster declared a state of emergency."

"This State of Emergency ensures that our first responders, who are working tirelessly and risking their lives to protect our communities from these wildfires, have the resources they need."
