What do you mean??!! He had the guts to state it like it is, promptly apologized, and ran crying down the hall! He’s supposed to be consistent, tough, and stand firm. I guess it was just an anomoly.

Mm. That isn’t a fair representation of events.

He was pressured by the Republican leadership to issue an apology. He did but only for choosing the wrong setting. Then he spent weeks speaking out on the issue and won the point in legislation.

Since then I think I’ve seen his name once or twice on the sidebar. I don’t remember for what unfortunately but it has not been my impression he crawled into a hole and died.

The characterization of Wilson given after the incident was that he had a quiet personaility and was generally affable which is why close acquaintances were shocked when he did that. In otherwords his outburst was passionate but spontaneous. Out of character/nature. A tell of how offended he was I imagine to let loose against his nature like that.

You can’t make someone a leader and you can’t ask them to act against their personality. I don’t have the sense he’s comfortable as a leader. Doesn’t mean he can’t quietly perform valuable service behind the scenes. If you’ve evidence he isn’t, please present it.

It’s not like he’s going to jump and shout “you lie” every time he’s in the same room with Bozo, and he’d look like an idiot if he did.
