MITCHELL: “This was Hillary Clinton, just moments ago in Kingstree, South Carolina.”

CLINTON: “The president has the constitutional responsibility to nominate a successor for that vacancy. And I’m very proud, President Obama has said he intends — he intends to follow his constitutional responsibility. (Applause) And I am deeply disappointed that the Senate of the United States has said sight unseen, we’re not going to consider anybody you send. Now, there has been some talk that maybe the president would nominate the Republican governor of Nevada. Now, I love Nevada, especially after last weekend, I really love Nevada. (Applause) And — and I know the governor has done some good things, but I sure hope the president chooses a true progressive, who will stand up for the values and the interests of the people of this country, who understand that you need to protect the right to vote of a person, not the right of a corporation to buy an election. (Applause) Who will understand that we still need the voting rights act to be enforced, because too many people are being deprived.”
