The state Senator investigating Mark Sanford's travel expenses, David Thomas, responded this afternoon to the governor's accusation that Thomas is guilty of "selective" outrage.
At a news conference this morning, Sanford claimed Thomas' investigation is politically-motivated, since he's prepping a run for Congress.
This afternoon, Thomas countered by saying he's just doing his job, and that he might have even shared a Coke with Sanford if the opportunity had arisen today.
The Charleston Regional Business Journal:
Had he known Sanford would be visiting Greenville today, Thomas said he would have told the governor “thanks,” and “we would have had a Coke.”
“It seems very odd to come here to do a press conference in a field,” Thomas said, calling Sanford’s visit “politically motivated” and a “soap opera.”
.... “I’m not going to be intimidated by anybody,” Thomas said. “I’m just trying to do my job.”
