‘Absolutely hypocritical’: C-SPAN caller wallops Joe ‘You Lie’ Wilson for telling Dems to give Trump a chance

Rep. Joe Wilson, the South Carolina Republican who yelled “You lie!” during President Barack Obama’s 2009 State of the Union address, was slammed by a C-SPAN caller on Wednesday after he insisted that voters should give President Donald Trump a chance.

“The level of discourse should be more positive,” Wilson said on Wednesday’s edition of Washington Journal. “In February of 2009, President Obama came to the Capitol Building and spoke to the Republican conference. And he announced at that time that he would be making every issue to address the deficit.”

“I gave him the benefit of the doubt for three months,” the GOP lawmaker insisted. “For three months, I said, ‘Hey, hope and change, we’re going to address the deficit.’ But that’s not what happened.”

Wilson argued that “you give a new person in office an opportunity to serve and give the benefit of the doubt, understanding that we’re here to represent the American people and not our political party.”
