Vice President Biden admonished Rep. Joe Wilson (R-SC) for his outburst at President Obama’s speech last night and said he “embarrassed an institution I love.” Speaking on The Today Show with Meredith Viera, he also said Wilson realized what he did and apologized, and “we accept the apology.” Watch the video below.
Biden also said “the real message” to come out of the incident was the reaction of others: “John McCain and the Republican leadership – what did they do? They immediately stepped away from Joe’s outburst. I think what you saw last night was the exception to the rule….I saw unity in the Congress in terms of the response to Joe Wilson’s demeaning comment, not only to the President, but to an institution I love.”
