#3 Perhaps Rep. Sanford should spare himself any further embarrassment from the President and simply resign from the congress. The quiet life and Gullah pace of low country plantation living would probably agree with him much more.

#4 Trump supporters were being brutally attacked on the street long before Trump told someone to pinch the guy. Fighting back was what stopped the attacks at Berkeley when the police did nothing. Leadership.

#5 His website requires a zip code plus four to keep out all the riff-raff, leaving us with a letter of phone call to express one's own opinion:

Congressman Mark Stanford
2211 Rayburn House Office Building
Washington, DC 20515-4001.

Phone: (202) 225-3176

Please try not to unleash any more demons.

#6 He referenced Trump's remarks during the campaign that he'd like to punch a protester in the face, saying the comments were “bizarre” and “we’ve ought to call it as such.”

Rep. Sanford, there is a great difference between saying something and actually doing it.

#8 The complete moral cowardness of these idiots is staggering. I swear, they would praise Hitler if it mean they might look better for the enemy press.

#9 He is another attention whore trying to say one more outrageous thing to get his name in light for a few minutes...

#10 Did he say that from Argentina or the Appalachian Trail?

#11 Wait -- he's Appalachian Trail guy? Why wasn't he replaced in the primary last year?

#13 This guy Sanford is a tool of the Old Boy network that tried to slime Nikki Haley when she was running for Gov of SC and if still fighting to keep a grip on power and preserve the slimeball old way of doing things. This is the face of the GOP establishment in SC.

#14 Wikipedia: Congressman and former governor Mark Sanford.

It seems he was elected to the House of Representatives in 2013 by beating the terribly unserious sister of liberal "comedian" Steven Colbert. And also that while a dreadful husband and ex-husband, he is a good libertarian Republican politician with solid endorsements.

#15 Is Sanford the guy who was carrying on an affair with some babe down in South America?

#17 Actually, he is - that's what happens when you try reconciliation with the left (or peace with Muslims).

#21 "Rep. Mark Sanford (R-S.C.) said President Trump is "partially" to blame for the hostility in the nation that led to the shooting...."

Hey Mark - that's like saying your zipper is "partially" to blame for you not keeping it in your pants.
