Joe Wilson: I Was Right to Yell '‘You Lie’ at Obama

Nearly two years after shouting “You lie” at President Barack Obama during an address to a joint session of Congress, South Carolina Rep. Joe Wilson says he has been vindicated.

Wilson was heavily criticized for breaching decorum by yelling out during Obama’s speech outlining his healthcare plans. But now he says he has been proved right, according to The Hill.

Wilson’s outburst came after Obama said illegal immigrants would not benefit under his plan.

“The reforms I am proposing would not apply to those what are here illegally,” the president said.

But Wilson says $8.5 million of a $28.8 million award to community healthcare centers has been specifically set aside to help seasonal and migrant farm workers, and that the clinics have been told not to ask for immigration status.

"It is clearly providing money that should be going to American citizens not to illegal immigrants," he told the Fox News show “America Live.”

"It's even worse than I thought,” he added. “They won't even ask for status."
