Guess Senator Johnson (R-WI) understands numbers when it comes to his wealth so he can't be entirely stupid, just doesn't care about people.
Senator Johnson (R-WI) voted against the aid package because
he said it will only affect at the most 3.4% of our population. It should be
noted to the mentally deficient Johnson that 3.4% of our population involves 9
to 10 Million people. That's 9,000,000 10,000,000! Glad he thinks that's a
small amount because he's accustomed to giving much larger sums of dollars to
his donors.
The commonalities in term of moral leadership between the left and right polulists couldn't be more evident than Tucker Carlson's call for Burr to be prosecuted and Krystal Ball's praise for his dong so.
3/20 - "Krystal and Saagar discuss Saagar's interview on Fox News as Carlson calls on Sen. Richard Burr, R-N.C., to resign if Burr doesn't explain why he sold millions in stock before the market fell amid the coronavirus pandemic." (Go to Rising)
