WASHINGTON, D.C. (YBH.ME) – The House of Representatives has voted largely along party lines to admonish Rep. Joe Wilson for calling President Obama a liar during the President’s speech to a Joint Session of Congress last week. The vote is the first of it’s kind.

South Carolina Rep. Joe Wilson admonished by House.
Mr. Wilson, frustrated over what he believes were misstatements by the President over whether illegal immigrants would be included in any health care reform package, yelled “You Lie!” during the President’s speech. Mr. Wilson quickly apologized to the President. President Obama accepted Mr. Wilson’s overture.
The final vote was 240-179 in favor of the admonishment.
