HOUSE Republican Leader John Boehner

Washington, Sep 14, 2009 - House Republican Leader John Boehner (R-OH) issued the following statement regarding reports that Democratic Leaders plan to introduce a resolution condemning Rep. Joe Wilson, (R-SC):

“Rep. Wilson has apologized to the President, and the President accepted his apology. Last Thursday, Speaker Pelosi said that she believed it was time to move on and discuss health care. I couldn’t agree more, and that’s why I plan to vote ‘no’ on this resolution. Instead of pursuing this type of petty partisanship, we should be working together to lower costs and expand access to affordable, high-quality health coverage on behalf of the American people.”
