If you were aghast that GOP United States Senator Ron Johnson would stereotype "idiot inner-city kids," remember that he had earlier shown disregard for children when he opposed a state bill designed to help young victims sue their abusers.
The bill failed.
Here's a link to the video of his testimony.
By the way, Johnson lost that beard he was sporting when testifying sometime before his run against then-Senator Russ Feingold.
And yes, he got elected statewide in 2010 because the Tea Party was ascendant, proving extremism and ignorance are not barriers to winning an election in Wisconsin these days.
Consider his belief in sunspot-caused climate change.

Thanks for re-posting this. This is an important story that can't be repeated enough.
ReplyDeleteHe didn't shave the beard. He bumped his chin on Walker's kitchen cabinet.
