Today, Congressman Joe Wilson (R-SC) gave a one-minute speech on government-run health care on the House Floor.
He discusses the outcome of various Town Hall meetings he held in August in South Carolina and offers more affordable, more realistic proposals on health care reform.
American Hero Joe "You Lie!" Wilson stands firm that he will not apologize for his remarks again despite calls for such action by partisan Democrats seeking to score cheap political points.
Wilson has already apologized at least twice for his remarks, including once to the White House. Barack Obama has accepted Wilson's apology.
Just days after shouting "You lie!" at President Obama, Wilson appears on "Fox News Sunday" and tells Chris Wallace that it is not necessary to issue another apology, as demanded by the House in lieu of censure.
"I am not going to apologize again," Wilson said on "Fox News Sunday." "I apologized to the president on Wednesday night. ... I believe that is sufficient."
He added that one of his sons told him he had a "town hall moment" during his interruption. "It was out of frustration," Wilson says.
Still, Democrats say Wilson broke House rules and should go to the floor and apologize, or risk facing a resolution condemning his actions.
He also accused the Democrats of "playing politics." "This is just a way to divert attention... It's a diversion from people looking at the bill and their concerns about the bill."
This is hysterical! I'm so proud of all you who attended the rally in DC!
CNN Capitol Hill correspondent Lisa Desjardins does a live report from the National Mall in Washington on the day of a huge Taxpayer March or "tea party protest" against the government.
At the start of the interview, anchor Fredricka Whitfield "forewarns" the audience that there might be some yelling during the report.
Desjardins struggles to get through the interview in front of chants of "tell the truth" and "go home, CNN". After Whitfield asks Desjardins to "give it one more shot," the tea partyers start chanting Glenn Beck's name.
The brave reporter then attempts to ask the protesters a question: "What do you think of Congressman Joe Wilson?" The crowd reacts with applause, then starts chanting, "Way to go, Joe."
I agree with the Great One. Why are Democrats crucifying Rep. Wilson for stating the truth about President Obama!
Obama, Pelosi, etc are all liars!
