President Obama took some heat over D.C. weather on Wednesday.

With Washington, D.C., under a flash flood warning and experiencing heavy rain on Wednesday, Rep. Joe Wilson (R-S.C.) had some trouble returning to the Capitol after the August recess.

Wilson tweeted, "Sitting on airplane during delay. Is President Obama creating bad weather to keep us conservatives out of Washington?"

"Ok. I know he can't control the weather, but if he keeps growing the scope of govt, perhaps he will soon," Wilson added in another tweet.

Wilson is not the first member of Congress to joke about bad weather in D.C.

Rep. Michele Ba! chmann (R-Minn.) joked in Florida last month that the earthquake and hurricane that recently hit the D.C. area were part of God's attempt to "get the attention of the politicians."
