Crowd chants 'you lie' at Joe Wilson's town hall - $tevie - 04-11-2017
Love this.
Rep. Joe Wilson (R-S.C.) had his own words turned against him at a town hall meeting, when constituents began shouting "you lie" in response to his comments about healthcare reform, according to a local television station.

Despite that, it sounds like Joe mostly got support at this small event for his extreme right wing positions:
"The crowd cheered after several of the Congressman's answers. Among them included denying man-made resources are adding to global warming, being against Planned Parenthood and his endorsement of the clean coal industry, potential open-carry gun laws and the Keystone Pipeline."

I'm glad to see people come out and support Obamacare though. People are so confused on this issue, I hope there can be opportunities for constructive dialogue (doesn't seem to be happening at these town halls)

Our rep held his in the middle of the day, in the center of a tea party strong retirement community, and advertising was word of mouth. Needless to say it was a favorable group
