Rep Wilson is the SC Republican who yelled 'you lie' at Obama.

Rep. Joe Wilson (R-S.C.) had his own words turned against him at a town hall meeting, when constituents began shouting "you lie" in response to his comments about healthcare reform, according to a local television station.
The South Carolina Republican, who made headlines in 2009 for shouting "you lie" at then-President Barack Obama during an address to a joint session of Congress, drew jeers and heckles at a town hall in his home district while discussing healthcare, WRDW-TV reported.
Wilson had planned to vote in favor of the American Health Care Act — the GOP plan to repeal and replace ObamaCare — last month, before Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) pulled the measure amid dwindling support from Republicans. Republican lawmakers are working once again on a plan to dismantle and replace Obama's signature healthcare law. Wilson reportedly told the crowd on Monday he is working with Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price on a new proposal.

have to admit, he deserves it
ALL the republicans in Congress deserve it
they'd better get off their asses and get some shite done or they will have blown their SECOND opportunity
who thinks there will be a 3rd chance if they continue to sit on their asses and lose power in '18 or '20 because of their own inaction???

I seriously doubt they were his constituents. They were probably liberals who invaded the Townhall meeting.

Who thinks 90 days determines what they will ultimately accomplish?

How many of these town halls have paid liberal actors purposefully getting the crowd upset? Probably most

Wilson didn't lie, he was actually spot on, and proven right. Now, he might not be right on the repeal, but that remains to be seen...Yeah , these were paid shills.

none of the people yelling will be voting for him. CNN will make you feel good though.

The last town hall where his constituents chanted "you lie" at him was sparked by Wilson blatantly lying about his support for VAWA.

When the Tea Party idiots infiltrated town halls in 2009 and 2010 during the long debate period prior to the passage of the ACA and voiced their paranoid delusions about "Death Panels" were they likely to go vote for their Democratic congressmen?

Obama said the ACA wouldn't cover illegal aliens. Joe Wilson yelled you lie. Joe Wilson was right.

Yep. Those tea party idiots are eating crow now that Obamacare is such a huge success.

It was easy for them to repeal and replace when they got both houses and a (R) president.

I agree that there is still time, but it is fricking ridiculous that repubs did not have a viable plan ready to go on day 1
they have been promising us action on this for 7+ years
Posted on 4/21/17 at 8:50 pm to dcbl
And that's the kicker! Seven plus years and not one plan ready to go. frick him.

I really wish they'd wake up and finally understand this.
