Rep. Mark Sanford (R-SC) said on Wednesday that the crowd at his last town hall "wasn’t manufactured" and attendees were "real people with real concerns."

"This wasn't an artificial crowd. It wasn't manufactured. It was real people with real concerns in terms of what came next on healthcare," Sanford told CNN's Wolf Blitzer.

However, Sanford said on Wednesday that attendees at a town hall on Saturday in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina, included "certainly some people from outside the district" but nobody he was "aware of from outside the state."

“The bulk of folks were local, they were from the district and they were passionate about what they believed," he said.
