GREENVILLE, S.C.–Hillary Clinton is running a little late for her speech here this morning, but her local supporters are finding ways to keep the crowd entertained.
Rep. Fletcher Smith of Greenville vamped for a while on the state of education policy, and on the need for health-care reform, and also took a minute to ruminate on recent criticism about how Bill Clinton has been handling himself on the campaign trail.
Some critics have suggested the former president pipe down a bit, but Fletcher disagrees.
“I am so proud of Bill Clinton,” Smith said. “Any man who does not stand up for his wife does not deserve to have a wife the caliber of Hillary Clinton.”
And anybody who thinks differently, he says, should be on notice that “Fletcher Smith has Bill Clinton’s back.”
This was followed by a surprise performance by a local singer, unexpectedly called out of the crowd to perform “Amazing Grace” a capella.
