Rep. James Clyburn: “Elephant Dung All Over The Place”



(The FOX Nation) - Democrats Sunday continued to rip into the Democrat’s Senate unlikely candidate in South Carolina, with House Majority Whip James Clyburn saying that there was "elephant dung all over the place" in the Democratic primary.

“I believe he’s someone’s plant,” Clyburn said on CNN’s “State of the Union.” “I saw in the Democratic primary elephant dung all over the place.”

Clyburn has called on state officials to investigate how Alvin Greene won the Senate primary last week. Greene, who was essentially unknown before Tuesday’s primary, is unemployed, spent almost no money on his campaign and made few public appearances, and is allegedly facing felony charges for showing pornographic images to a college student.

Clyburn said he suspects campaign laws were broken by Greene, who allegedly tried to pay his registration fees with cash and had no previous political backing in the state.
