The race to succeed Tim Scott in South Carolina’s First Congressional District begins with a new television ad from GOP candidate Teddy Turner, the son of billionaire CNN founder (and proud liberal) Ted Turner. “He went there to work as a cameraman and left a conservative,” the voiceover begins. “Filming major developments in the Soviet Union, Tedd witnessed the devastation of communism, and it forever changed him.” Turner worked as a cameraman for CNN in the 1980’s, though he has since become a high-school economics teacher and Republican activist.
