Rep. Joe Wilson (R-SC) who embarrassed himself last night by shouting out "You lie" during President Obama's health care address to the nation turns out to be a major recipient of campaign money from the health care industry. What a coincidence!
Raw Story reported today that Wilson's largest donors are from the health care industry. Over his congressional career, Wilson collected:
$244,196 from health professionals
$86,150 from pharmaceutical companies
$73,050 from insurance companies
$68,000 from hospitals and nursing homes.
Embarrassing yourself before the nation, your congressional colleagues, and your president while carrying water for the health care industry - PRICELESS!
