Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC) said yesterday that he’s not going to vote for beleaguered Democratic Senate nominee Alvin Greene. “No, I’m not going to vote for Mr. Greene,” he said.
Clyburn cited Greene’s recent indictment on obscenity charges as his reason, telling reporters : “Look, I have three daughters, and a granddaughter. I think it would be an insult to them, if I did that.”
Clyburn has previously alleged that Greene, who came out of nowhere to win the primary in June, may have been a GOP plant trying to derail the Democrats’ efforts in November.
Yesterday, Clyburn elaborated: “I don’t whether or not he’s a Republican plant — but he seems to be somebody’s plant.”
Late Update: The Hill reports that Clyburn says he’ll vote for write-in candidate Mazie Ferguson.
