Democrats are calling on Mullins McLeod to drop out of the race for South Carolina governor after an arrest video from May resurfaced of McLeod in which he goes on an expletive-filled rant and calls himself Superman.
The 53-year-old South Carolina lawyer was arrested May 14 in Charleston, according to the police report obtained by HuffPost, after he was found walking around wearing only his underwear and shoes, and yelling “at the top of his lungs” and moving his arms “frantically.”
The officers handcuffed McLeod, and while they were trying to get McLeod’s name, McLeod referred to himself as Superman and God.
In the arrest video published by WPDE, when asked his name, McLeod responded, “It doesn’t matter, my friend, trust me. I’m one of the most just humans to ever walk this soil,” before shouting, “When I’m governor ...”
According to the police report, while on their way to jail, McLeod continued to yell “incoherently” about “vague” historic events. The officer noted in the police report that McLeod’s symptoms were “typical of an individual under the influence of a stimulant narcotic.”
