I bet I can guess what happened.
My own state governor usually issues proclamations that say “the President has ordered the flag to half-staff” and releases them.
I’m guessing the So. Car. governor’s office prepared such a statement in advance, and simply released it with the assumption the President would release such a proclamation; or they used a boilerplate proclamation and just inserted the relevant information.
Henry McMaster, one of the original yam butt-kissers, should have known better. Wonder if he’ll change it to remain in the asshole’s good graces (new polling shows James Smith within 4 points of Henry—wonder if the yam turns on Henry, how it will affect the race)
