SOUTH CAROLINA: Town Hall Crowd Chants “You Lie” At Same GOP Rep Who Shouted It At Obama [VIDEO]

NBC News reports:



An angry crowd in South Carolina chanted “you lie” to Rep. Joe Wilson at a town hall Monday, using the Republican Congressman’s own infamous line against him. Wilson was rebuked after shouting those words at former President Barack Obama during his speech to Congress in 2009, after the president said the health reforms he was proposing would not apply to those in the country illegally. Wilson later apologized, and Obama accepted the apology, saying at the time that “we all make mistakes.”

Wilson was confronted at a town hall in Aiken County, South Carolina, on Monday again on the issue of Obamacare — but this time by people upset over Republicans’ plans to repeal the health care law. A GOP effort fizzled last month due to lack of support in the House, but the majority party and President Donald Trump say that replacement is still on the agenda. “My concern about Obamacare is we’ve already seen skyrocketing premiums, we’ve seen deductibles become unapproachable to work with,” Wilson told NBC station WAGT of Augusta, Georgia.
