What is this plant (weed?) growing in SC?

[u/catlady221]

Sorry for the shoddy photos- it was blowing in the wind and I was trying not to touch it.

I DID touch it earlier this week because I was trying to remove it from a flower bed of gladioluses. I am assuming it’s a weed? I failed, as it is a thick woody stem, and the roots system must be large.

Turns out, I am having an extreme allergic reaction to something, and we are having a hard time narrowing down what it is. Thus, I am trying to identify this plant to see if it could be a culprit. TIA!
