S.C. Gov. Candidate
Shouting N-Word in Cop Car on Video …
T-Swift Soundtracks Full Meltdown!!!

Charleston Police Department
The South Carolina candidate for governor — whose bizarre arrest has already apparently tanked his shot — is finding himself in an even deeper hole now that the full body cam’s out … showing him dropping the N-word on video.
TMZ obtained the clip from the Charleston Police Department — William “Mullins” McLeod Jr., who’s gunning for the Palmetto State’s 2026 gubernatorial seat — casually tosses in the racial slur during his loud, expletive-packed tirade … before, ironically, saying, “I better start paying more attention to this racist ass Donald Trump.”
It gets wilder — ’cause during his May arrest for disorderly conduct, a Taylor Swift song starts playing in the background. First up, her 2012 hit “I Knew You Were Trouble” (fitting, right?), followed by “Wildest Dreams” … which was pretty on point too, ’cause things were spiraling fast!
McLeod keeps rambling at the top of his lungs — yelling about going to the moon if he had a billion bucks, taking a s***, Rolls-Royces, and a bunch more nonsense … all while optimistically yelling, “When I’m governor …”
Of course, the odds of that happening now are basically nil — especially after dropping the N-word in a state with a large Black population.
McLeod — the first Democrat to throw his hat in the ring for a shot at Gov. Henry McMaster’s seat — now has his team in full scramble mode. They’ve told TMZ he’ll be holding a press conference to address the damning video … but at this point, his whole campaign appears to be hanging by a thread.
