Clyburn quoted Valerie Jarrett, adviser to the president and a friend of the Obamas, as saying, "It's not always our decision to make." The implication is that the Secret Service has concerns about the state. A lot of it, Clyburn said, has to do with the climate in South Carolina.

He wasn't talking about the humidity, just the stupidity.
