SC Sen. Jim DeMint, at a townhall meeting yesterday.
“I continue to hope that the governor will do the right thing for our state and I’ll just have to wait and see. I’m not going to publicly say one way or another what he should do. I’m just hoping he will do what’s best for our state.”
The closest DeMint's ever come to calling on Sanford to resign was June 29 on Sean Hannity's show when he said "it may be" time to step aside.
HANNITY: "Do you think that he should go? I'm of the mind that if your life is in shambles in a case like this, maybe it's time for you to step aside. Get your personal act together. Is that good advice?"
DEMINT: "It may be. I'm not sure where he is in his personal life with his wife, and I think that does have a lot to do with whether or not he should continue.
Since then, DeMint's urged Sanford to do what's right for the state, without specifying what that is.
