"I want to address this phrase that she used repeatedly. She said, 'This movement is full of constitutionally illiterate persons of insidious values.' I'm going to defend people who aren't going to be able to speak for themselves today. She's referring to over 33,000 grassroots in South Carolina," he said.
"I think this is one of the fundamental problems with our politics. It does a grave disservice to our system of politics. It's tearing our society apart."
