Surprise, surprise.
We’ve got yet another unfaithful politician on our hands!
Married South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford has admitted to having an affair with an Argentinean woman!
Sanford finally fessed up to an affair that was discovered 5 months ago with a “dear, dear friend from Argentina” while secretly visiting her in Buenos Aires.
Ick!
“I’m a bottom-line kind of guy. I’ll lay it out, it’s going to hurt, and we’ll let the chips fall as they may,” said Sanford at a news conference on Wednesday in Columbia.
So why did Sanford admit to cheating on his wife so publicly??
The South Carolina governor has dropped the ball politically, according to his colleagues and critics.
Earlier Wednesday, South Carolina Democratic Party Chair Carol Fowler said in a statement it was the “height of irresponsibility for the governor to walk out on his solemn duty to the people of South Carolina.
“When it comes to the real needs and concerns of South Carolinians, Mark Sanford has been pretty much missing in action for the last six-and-a-half years. But it is not acceptable for him to be actually missing,” South Carolina Democratic Party Chair Carol Fowler stated on Wednesday morning.
She continued: “However, as disturbing as it is to walk out on your responsibilities without telling anyone, what’s more troubling is that the governor and his staff have been less than truthful about his whereabouts.”
Sanford had been MIA from South Carolina since the 18th, and originally claimed he was busy “hiking in the Appalachian Trail.”
