Rep. [crscore]Debbie Wasserman Schultz[/crscore] said Friday that South Carolina Rep. Jim Clyburn‘s endorsement of Hillary Clinton is not only “very significant in South Carolina, but significant all across the country.”

“I do know Congressman Clyburn well,” she said. “I serve and was appointed by him as one of our chief deputy whips for the Democratic Caucus.”

“And so his endorsement,” Wasserman Schultz added, “his opinion, certainly is very significant in South Carolina, but significant all across the country. And you know, for me, that’s not a commentary on our primary per se, but certainly Congressman Clyburn weighing in is significant.” (RELATED: Hillary Dodges Question Of Whether Campaign Pressured DNC For Limited Debate Schedule [VIDEO])

Wasserman Schultz replied, “Oh, of course. Our requirement is for the DNC Chair and all of our officers to remain neutral and that’s all of us are remaining neutral through the primary.
