Congressman Joe Wilson, 77, whose district abuts the Savannah River Site, was hospitalized in Washington Tuesday night after taking ill, according to his office’s post on website X.

Rep. Joe Wilson’s (R-S.C.) son, South Carolina attorney general Alan Wilson, said on the website X that the congressman was experiencing “stroke-like symptoms,” according to doctors at the scene.

“I am incredibly thankful that he is stable and being monitored by medical professionals,” the younger Wilson said on X.

Congressman Wilson’s office has not posted an update on his X profile as of Wednesday evening, and his office did not answer the phone on Wednesday.
