Ex-leader of SC Republican Party says he's Christ

The former leader of the South Carolina Republican Party was recently arrested after police said he “cruelly” killed his mother’s dog, and told them he did it because he was acting on a command from God — and that he was the second coming of Jesus Christ. It was the latest in a downward spiral for Todd Kincannon, who was once the general counsel and executive director of the South Carolina Republican Party ...

The Simpsonville Police Department reported that Kincannon killed his mother’s 10-year-old beagle/cattle dog mix July 26 at his parents’ house in Greenville County, where he was also living. Responding police officers said Kincannon exited the house wearing only underwear, and he was covered in blood and dog hair. His mother had locked herself inside a bathroom because she said she was “absolutely terrified” of Kincannon ...

Kincannon told the first officer he killed the dog because, “I’m the second coming of Christ and I got a command from God to do it,” according to an incident report. Kincannon said “that every 1,000 years there needs to be a sacrifice and blood must be spilt.” He had lacerations and punctures on his arm and wrist ... Kincannon held them up and said “I have a sign. I’m about to get crucified in the media,” per an incident report.

This is not the first time Kincannon has been arrested. In 2015, The State reported he was charged with criminal domestic violence. Later in 2015, Kincannon’s law license was suspended. In January 2018, he’s listed as “incapacity inactive” on legal rolls, adding that three former clients who made claims against Kincannon were paid “$102,364 in compensation” by the S.C. Bar Association’s Lawyers Fund for Client Protection.
