Representative Joe Wilson, the South Carolina Republican who gained infamy after shouting “you lie” at President Barack Obama during an address to Congress, got a taste of his own medicine later on from his constituents. Fast forward to 2020 and we have a habitual liar squatting in the White House who throws out easily disprovable falsehoods on a daily basis. For example, on Tuesday night during Trump’s State of the Union address, he tried to claim that he is sticking by Americans with pre-existing conditions while his administration has literally been trying to dismantle Obamacare in its entirety – that includes protections for those with pre-existing conditions.
Trump has made this claim numerous times but tonight, Democrats weren’t having it. And it wasn’t just one guy who shamed Trump. A large number of Democrats stood up to yell “HR3” to give the petty petulant potentate a dose of reality.
Watch:
A “YOU LIE” moment just erupted, as DEMs chanted over trump “HR3! HR3,” which is a bill that gives Medicare the power to negotiate directly with the drug companies.
Powerful moment. #SOTU pic.twitter.com/ubFFXJVtte

Trump tries to take credit for everything but Democrats called him out. Democrats passed a bill to lower drug costs, not Republicans, but it’s sitting in Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell’s legislative graveyard.
Twitter users weren’t having it either.
I guess the #StateOfTheUnion is when you lie, give yourself credit for shit you didn’t do, attack Obama, and pretend you didn’t just snort a fatty line of meth before walking out to go pretend you never deserved to be impeached for those High Crimes you committed.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

By tomorrow or sooner, Republicans will claim that Democrats were disrespectful, but the “president” needs to be called out every single time he lies to the American people.
