Phil Bailey, political director of the South Carolina Senate Democratic Caucus, inflamed religious and political passions in one of the most conservative states when he called Republican Gov. Nikki Haley the “Sikh Jesus.” Bailey’s own party demanded that he delete his Twitter account, which he promptly did. The GOP wants him fired.

“Everybody is in agreement that what he did was inappropriate,” said Democratic state Sen. Brad Hutto. “… I don’t even know exactly what Twitter is, but he’s not going to be doing it.”
