The South Carolina Supreme Court called attorney Greg Harrisâ use of a racial stereotype âtroublesome.â

The attorney, Greg Harris, is one of four South Carolina attorneys who make up the âcoreâ of Trumpâs impeachment team. Harris confirmed his hiring to The Associated Press on Thursday. Harris will defend a former president who regularly appealed to racists and inspired a deadly attack on the U.S. Capitol by a mob that included a significant contingent of outright white supremacists.
