According to the reports, Rep. Steve King is supporting Rep. Joe Wilson’s demand to vote for the support of flying confederate flags in the South. Joe Wilson, the elected member from Carolina, is demanding to keep the confederate flags waving in the South Carolina capitol. But many of the assemblymen are showing their reserves on Joe Wilson’s demands. Joe Wilson has decided to ask the assemblymen to vote in favor of his stipulations. Apparently, Joe Wilson is not alone in this demand. According to the reports, Rep. Steve King is standing by him and has showed full support to Wilson.
Wilson has made a point that Southern Carolina has made a great contribution during the civil war and hence as a tribute the confederate flag should be kept flying in the state capitol.
Joe Wilson is also making news for his outburst during the assembly session. During a Congress session, while Obama was making a speech Joe stood up and shouted at him, ‘You Lie!’ Many analysts have called Joe’s outburst ‘based on racism’. Jim Carter said that Joe, like many, think that an African-American should not be a president. On the other side, Joe’s eldest son Alan Wilson has denied all such allegations and said, ‘There is not a racist bone in my dad’s body.’ Joe Wilson’s wife commented on the reaction as, ‘My husband doesn’t deserve the treatment he’s getting from congress.’
No one can really make judgment of Joe’s outburst but it is a well-known fact that as a congressman he has opposed the efforts to remove Confederate flag from South Carolina Statehouse and he will continue opposing it in future as well.
