The House television feed not only called Rep. Joe Wilson, R-S.C., a female representative, but to add insult to injury, it was one who’s no longer even in the House.
While speaking from the House floor Wednesday on the nomination of Rep. John McHugh, R-N.Y., to be secretary of the Army, Wilson was identified by the House’s internal television network as former Rep. Heather Wilson, R-N.M.
Yes they are both Republicans with the last name Wilson, but isn’t anyone watching to see that Wilson doesn’t look like a “Heather?”
The current Wilson’s office laughed it off.
“Rep. Wilson takes it with a grain of salt and has a lot of respect for Heather Wilson,” said his press secretary, Ryan Murphy.
