The wife of South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford said Wednesday in a statement that she continues to love her husband, but that she asked him to leave their home two weeks ago because “I felt it was important to look my sons in the eyes and maintain my dignity, self-respect and my basic sense of right and wrong.”
Jenny Sanford also said that she had no idea that her husband had gone to Argentina. She said that during the separation “it was agreed that Mark would not contact us.”
