South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley spoke out on Thursday about the horrible shooting in Charleston on Wednesday night. She spoke passionately about her state and the people who live there and through tears she discussed the heartbreak felt by so many South Carolinians. It was a short message but full of compassion, pain and hope – hope that healing would come soon and that South Carolina would be stronger because of the shared tragedy.

 

“We all woke up today… and the heart and soul of South Carolina was broken. And so we have some grieving to do, and we’ve got some pain we have to go through. Parents are having to explain to the their kids that they have to go to church and feel safe and that’s not something that we ever thought we’d would have to deal with.

Having said that, we are a strong the and faithful state. We love our state, we love our county, and most importantly we love each other.

And I will tell you there is a lot of prayer in this state. And so you are going to see all of us try and lift these nine families up in prayer, because they need us. These nine families need us, the Emmanuel AME church needs us, the AME church family need us, and the people of South Carolina needs us to come together and be strong for what has happened.”
