Ron Johnson has joined the Ted Cruz Caucus of GOP Kooks.
Yes, the Republican U.S. senator from Wisconsin is stalling the $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief package because … well, I don’t know what he is basing his objection.
I guess the senator thinks it’s too expensive. But is it? Really?
Ron Johnson grinds Senate to halt, irritating many (msn.com)
The pandemic that the relief bill attacks has claimed more than 520,000 American lives. It has put millions of Americans out of work. It has caused untold misery, grief and mourning.
Sen. Johnson is stalling the bill because he wants senators to read it aloud, word for word. Why? Beats the hell out of me!
This man is nuts. He is an obstructionist extraordinaire in the mold of Sen. Ted Cruz, the Texas GOP moron who once stalled the government by reading “Green Eggs and Ham” on the floor of the Senate.
Oh, meanwhile, Americans continue to suffer. They continue to get sick. They keep dying. All the while, Ron Johnson is stalling a wildly popular relief bill that will put money in Americans’ pockets and ensure unemployment insurance for those Americans who need help while they seek new jobs.
Utterly disgraceful.
It’s not a relief bill!! 90% of what’s in the bill has nothing to do with Covid relief. We haven’t spent the majority of dollars from the previous relief bills.
At least by having it read, some will hear the bs that’s in the bill.
