"Moments before we came out here, you got a big endorsement," Hannity said. With less than 24 hours until the South Carolina GOP primary, Congressman Mark Sanford, the state's former governor, emerged from behind a velvet curtain.

The crowd went wild, and Sanford then spoke for one minute about why he was supporting Cruz.

Mark Sanford should not be in public life much less in the U.S. congress. What low depths those voters who elected him occupy. Cruz should not celebrate an endorsement from such a vain narcissistic man

Nothing says outsider than an endorsement by Sanford, a total insider.

Uhm....Mark Sanford? I lived in South Carolina and voted for that guy during his first election.

It's embarrassing to admit that. He's a turd.

Mr. Trump cheated on his first two wives. But that’s different, right?

I will admit when I read this, my biggest question was whether Sanford was actually there in person, or sending down his endorsement from a ‘remote’ location.

Bad of me, I know...

Trump is bad if he cheated on his wife, but people who cheated on their wives and support Ted Cruz are good?

I think everything cancels out here and we’re all good, right?

Regardless of what you think or what I think of Sanford, at the Hannity Town Hall in South Carolina tonight, he was overwhelmingly well received.

Maybe the SC voters know more about the good things Sanford brings to South Carolina than folks from other states.
