MSNBC is reporting that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi will hold a vote early next week on whether to censure Rep. Joe Wilson (R-SC), unless he apologizes on the House floor for heckling the President.
Wilson already apologized to the White House for his outburst Wednesday night. He screamed, “You lie!” during President Obama’s health care address to a joint session of Congress, just after Obama said a public option wouldn’t cover illegal immigrants.
Obama accepted his apology, but some lawmakers have been calling on him to apologize on the House floor. In appearances since, Wilson has seemed less than repentant, calling it a “double standard” that he had to say sorry at all.
