Ron Johnson on Opposition to Child Care Reform: People Make The Choice to Have Children [VIDEO]
Reporters like to put microphones in front of Ron Johnson as the Wisconsin senator is usually good for a juicy soundbite. The soundbites, however, are generally pretty embarrassing. Johnson lacks any idea of nuance, so he lays the lack of empathy in the GOP bare.
That was the case today when the Wisconsin senator was asked about his opposition to Joe Biden’s Build Back Better plan. According to Johnson, people shouldn’t have children if they can’t afford healthcare.
The GOP lawmaker told News 8000, “People decide to have families and become parents. That’s something they need to consider when they make that choice. I’ve never really felt it was society’s responsibility to take care of other people’s children.”
In a recent survey taken in Wisconsin, 67% of voters supported the Build Back Better plan. This included 53% of Republican voters.
