As a leader in South Carolina's constitutional carry effort, Rep. Jonathon Hill forces roll call votes that put anti-2A Republicans on the record, endangering their re-elections. Hill is so feared by the Republican establishment, the state party broke its own rules in 2020 by recruiting and funding a primary challenger against his re-election. But liberty is still popular and, with the help of YAL door-to-door activists, he beat his establishment primary opponent in a 62% landslide. Today, Hill joins renegade statesman Eric Brakey on #FreeAmericaNow to discuss the fight for liberty in South Carolina and his recent pro-life stand on capital punishment. When politicians sought to re-instate the death penalty by re-normalizing the electric chair, Hill argued against the barbarity of electrocution and against re-introducing such punishment into broken system. “This makes injustice permanent,” says Hill, pointing to well-known and uncorrected flaws in the criminal justice system, as 1 in 9 U.S. executions are carried out on innocent people. "Would you trust this current system to judge you or your loved one?" Mentioned in this episode are: (1) Rep. Jonathan Hill's website https://votehill.com/ (2) Rep. Jonathan Hill's floor speech against the death penalty https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D5CsgEsRhpA&t=1246s (3) Morton Blackwell and the Leadership Institute https://leadershipinstitute.org (4) Young Americans for Liberty Operation Win at the Door https://yaliberty.org/door/ (5) Young Americans for Liberty Hazlitt Coalition https://yaliberty.org/hazlitt/
