Rob Miller responds to Joe Wilson's stupid behavior
Posted on 10. Sep, 2009 by Tim Kelly in SC Politics
Rob Miller is out with a statement:
“Representative Wilson's behavior tonight exemplifies everything that is wrong in Washington,” Democrat Rob Miller said in a statement provided to CNN.
“Instead of engaging in childish name-calling and disrespecting our Commander-in-Chief, Joe Wilson should be working towards a bipartisan solution that makes quality, affordable health care available to each and every South Carolinian.
“He owes both the President and the people of this district an apology for his embarrassing behavior during tonight's speech.”
Wilson apologized to the president after the speech, calling his comments “inappropriate and regrettable.”
Miller, a 13-year veteran of the Marine Corps, gave Wilson the toughest re-election challenge of his career last year in one of the country's most conservative congressional districts. Miller lost by eight points, and decided to challenge Wilson again next year.
National Democrats are also looking for a win: Wilson is on the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee's 2010 hit list.
