In May 2010, Erickson wrote in the RedState blog that he would be releasing evidence that Will Folks, a South Carolina GOP political operative, had made false allegations that he had an affair with gubernatorial candidate Nikki Haley and that the allegations were "initiated by a rival political campaign.". Later that day, Erickson wrote, "I have no clue if anyone is behind Will Folks doing this. With apologies to RedState readers, I’ve had no hesitation in stringing the media along like Folks has done." Byron York, a conservative journalist, criticized Erickson: "acrificing your own credibility in an effort to undermine someone else’s is not a good idea, and what Erickson has done has surely hurt both his own reputation and that of his website."
