There is no evidence of arson as Democrats blamed President Trump, Stephen Miller and MAGA after South Carolina circuit court judge Diane Goodstein’s house exploded and burned down over the weekend.
“At this time, there is no evidence to indicate the fire was intentionally set. SLED agents have preliminarily found there is no evidence to support a pre-fire explosion,” a statement from State Law Enforcement Division said.
South Carolina Judge Diane Goodstein and Former State Senator Arnold Goodstein’s beachfront home in Edisto Island was burned to the ground on Saturday, sending three family members to the hospital.
Watch below via WCBD News 2:
St. Paul’s Fire District released a statement on the fire:
The SPFD received reports of a structure with entrapment on Edisto Island from our automatic aid partners, Edisto Beach Fire Department. Engine 1403 and Tender 1403 along with Battalion 1407 were first due followed by Edisto Beach Engine 14 and Ladder 14.
Due to our strong working relationship with the EBFD, crews went right to work extinguishing the fire and looking for occupants. This area is located on a barrier island with significant challenges such as limited water supply and tight areas.
The first arriving crews worked flawlessly together to ensure the safety of the occupants which escaped via jumping from and elevated first floor. Due to the remoteness and layout of the lot, the occupants had to be rescued from the backyard via kayaks and brought to Colleton County EMS where they received medical aid.
Democrat hacks like Rep. Dan Goldman immediately blamed Stephen Miller and “MAGA world” for the house fire.
Trump, @StephenM and MAGA-world have been doxxing and threatening judges who rule against Trump, including Judge Goodstein.
Today, someone committed arson on the Judge’s home, severely injuring her husband and son.
Will Trump speak out against the extreme right that did this?? https://t.co/Dl8JcUted7

The fire was not started intentionally.
Rep. Dan Goldman said yesterday that President Trump, Stephen Miller, and the “extreme right” are to blame for a liberal judge’s home burning to the ground.
Law enforcement in South Carolina just released a statement saying there’s no evidence the fire was intentionally set. https://t.co/KtPNRcVy81 pic.twitter.com/MIM0jGdLEY
