COLUMBIA, SC (WACH) -- Bernie Sanders, the Democratic Senator from Vermont, is pushing his Presidential campaign through the Palmetto State.

The self-described socialist has not been a common sight in South Carolina, but Friday night he was in Columbia making his pitch to a packed house.

More than 3,000 people crowded into the Medallion Center Friday night to see the Presidential hopeful tell them why he should be the next President of the United States.

He started the night by saying America needs a political revolution.

He spent much of his speech talking about his distaste for the wealthy controlling the political system, saying Corporate greed is destroying the American economy.

Sanders also addressed children in poverty, saying it impacts all people and is an embarrassment to the country.

He also said, if President, he would push for Medicaid expansion, Veterans programs, free state college tuition and raising the minimum wage to 15 dollars an hour.

Sanders received one of many standing ovations after explaining his belief in marriage equality and the importanance of equal family rights.

He ended his speech saying if he's the next President of the United States, there's nothing he will be afraid to accomplish.
