Wilson raises over $200,000 (and growing) from his "YOU LIE" lie.

Sorry if this has already been posted.

If find it shameful that this guy can lie and get paid heavily for it. Sadly, i could have see this coming since Republicans get motivated to donate through their emotions regardless if they realize they are being lied to.

2. Good. I am sick of this type of behavior being rewarded

As this guy, previously nationally unknown, now gets so much national press attention.

3. This is why he needs to be censured--he has no remorse or shame

To try to exploit the incident for money on youtube.... Just wow...no words...

5. Curious: what does a "censure" do? Is there a severe penalty nt

6. I think he has to walk by a line of all the house members

While they wag their fingers at him and go "tsk tsk".

No, I don't think there is any punishment per se for censure, but it could be considered a "first offense" and lead to expulsion from the house if the behavior were to continue.

4. Of course. No surprise there. nt
