South Carolina rep named Joe Wilson shouted out “You lie” during President Obama’s health care speech to Congress on Wednesday. The incident was, as obvious, taken very seriously and other Republicans were put to shame.
The outburst came as Obama addressed what he called "bogus claims" about health care reform. He called the idea of so-called death panels "a lie, plain and simple," and said that his reform plan would not apply to people who are in the country illegally, as some say it will.
At that point, a voice in the back of the House chamber could clearly be heard yelling, "You lie! You lie!" Obama responded, "It's not true," while House Speaker Nancy Pelosi appeared visibly upset by the breach of protocol from the congressman.
However,at the end, Wilson apologized to the press saying : " While I disagree with the president’s statement, my comments were inappropriate and regrettable. I extend sincere apologies to the president for this lack of civility. "
But its not for the first time that Wilson hurled comments at a democrat prez. 2004 Democratic presidential nominee John F. Kerry was a near victim too.
