More amazing than the fact that a member of the American Congress had the impudence to shout “You lie!” at an American President during a speech is the fact that this appalling behavior is being defended by people who should know better.
The childish behavior of Serena Williams, on the other hand, a tennis player who spoke hatefully to a court official, is condemned on every side.
Likewise Kanye West, who snatched the microphone from the hands of music video winner Taylor West to suggest that another performer should have won, has been condemned by everyone for his ignorant selfish behavior.
Congressman Joe Wilson’s behavior is indefensible. Judging by the photographic record, the “outburst” was premeditated and expected by other Republicans in the audience.
Joe Wilson shouts; GOP colleagues don't turn a hair.
The President, Biden and Pelosi react to Wilson's shout.
It’s bad enough to contemplate the idea that one elected representative entrusted with government can be that immature; the thought that the oppostion party is just as moronic is depressing indeed.
