SC6 Fake News: Cooper Changes His Name?

Lt. Gov. Candidate Decides Name 'Ain't South Carolina Enough' ..

SC6 has learned through court documents that Lt. Governor candidate Ashley Cooper (D-SC) is legally petitioning to have his name changed.

In order for more than just Lowcountry appeal, Cooper is changing his name to Palmetto Gamecock Tiger Ashley Cooper, or PGT Ashley Cooper. According to an insider, this will assist Cooper in assimilating better in all areas of South Carolina, with the exception of the Charlotte suburbs of the state, where adding 'Carowinds' to his name was poo-poo'd....

We contacted the Cooper Team, who will be facing Republican Ken Ard in November, to apprise them of an unintended benefit of the name change. PGT was also the name of General Beauregard, who led the assault on Fort Sumter that started the Civil War. 'HELL'S YEAH !!!!! That's awesome !' Replied the staffer, 'But, shit.... That puts us back to Square One again. We might have to rethink this.' So, in the end, Cooper may just stay where he's at.....
