Longtime Rep. Joe Wilson, R-S.C., was taken at the hospital Tuesday night and is receiving treatment after collapsing at an event in Washington, according to a congressional aide with knowledge of the situation. Later Tuesday night, Wilson's office confirmed the news in a post on X. 'Congressman Joe Wilson was taken ill and is being evaluated at a local hospital in Washington, DC,' his office said.
A senior member of the Foreign Affairs Committee, Wilson said Tuesday he had had a busy summer recess; Congress just returned this week from a month-long break. Wilson told reporters he had just returned from whirlwind official travel to the Philippines, Australia and Europe, including a meeting with NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, then campaigned back home in South Carolina. There was no immediate comment from his office.
