You've Got to Be Kidding?

MAGA Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) is certainly no stranger to controversy, claiming the Jan 6th rioters were actually “provocateurs” impersonating Trump supporters, then bragged he wasn’t concerned for his safety on Jan 6th, because the mob was comprised of “people that loved this country,” and not “Black Lives Matter” people.   Then, in February, he declared that Wisconsin already had enough jobs and therefore shouldn’t make a pitch to manufacture new postal vehicles, which would’ve created 1,000 new jobs.   Now, the MAGA senator is attacking both Medicare and Social Security benefits and their recipients, labeling those programs “reckless spending” and voting against a $35 cap on insulin, then suggesting “senior citizens need to go back to work.” Wait a minute!  The guy who celebrated the 4th of July in Moscow with Vladimir Putin a few years ago - said what?  Now, is it just me, or could it be that Sen.

Johnson and Republicans, they’d be quick to point out, “Why in the name of hell should we be forced to give Social Security and Medicare benefits to people, simply because they got old?  Hell, that’s not our fault!”   OK, got it!  Defund old people, by allowin...
