Remember that time a Congressman yelled "You Lie!" at POTUS during the State of the Union?

[Recursion]

Me neither. Because apparently the Hamilton thing is completely unprecedented in human history.

[liberal N proud]

1. Saw this yesterday

[jimlup]

4. Actually Pence was somewhat reasonable about it but

Daddy man baby Trump was not.

[yardwork]

2. It's shameful if the media not to report this fact.

[blueseas]

3. It was representative Joe Wilson

We suspect it's rare that the president gets heckled during a speech to a joint session of Congress, but Rep. Joe Wilson didn't hold back.

"You lie!" shouted the South Carolina Republican. This was in response to President Barack Obama's statements on illegal immigrants.

"There are also those who claim that our reform effort will insure illegal immigrants," Obama said. "This, too, is false — the reforms I’m proposing would not apply to those who are here illegally."

So who's right here? Wilson or Obama?

Incidentally, Wilson apologized for the outburst after the speech, but said he still disagreed with Obama's statement...

5. Thanks for this.

[C Moon]

12. They always apologize for their bad deeds: then get a snicker and a slap on the back.

[hfojvt]

6. I don't

because it wasn't a State of the Union.

[sheshe2]

9. Yes it was.

[sheshe2]

16. You just CALLED ME A LIAR!

I WATCHED the SOTU that night. Joe Wilson called him a liar.

[Amimnoch]

17. It was.

[ramapo]

7. and if somebody does the same to Trump?

Want to guess the reaction from the Grand Old Party of Hypocrites?

[VOX]

13. *GASP!* "HOW DARE YOU DISRESPECT OUR PRESIDENT!"

"You libtards need to get behind your president, quit being an anti-American leftist! Get a job!" (+ other wildly inappropriate remarks about ancestry, ethnicity, gender and sexual orientation.)
----------
Pretty much the actual tone the Repubs took during the Bush/Cheney years. The obvious irony and/or empathy is utterly, completely lost on them.

[Thinkingabout]

8. It was not normal to have shouting at the President in the SOTU address, there will

Be many occasions when Trump will be lying but shouting at the SOTU would only lower us to the Republican level and We are better than this outburst. It does not mean Trump will not be called out on his lies.

[Initech]

10. Yeah and we're the ones being told to bow down and respect the almighty Trump.

Fuck off deplorables!

[leanforward]

11. I remember

I didn't know he had made an apology. Too late. He, is to me, not a southern gentleman. I've met people at Sheetz who were more gentlemen, than this baffoon.

[malaise]

15. Do you remember the time Don the Con was all over TV telling

us that the President of the United States was not American and he was leading the investigation to prove it.
