Ron Johnson wants to undermine Social Security, but he really wishes you'd stop mentioning that

One of the biggest differences between Republicans and Democrats is that Democrats don’t have to invent outrageous horror stories about their opponents and their policies. Republicans are only too eager to do it themselves.

Whether it’s Rick Scott insisting that impoverished Americans need to pay more taxes, Donald Trump repeatedly purple-nurpling our democracy, or the entire party saying 10-year-old rape victims being forced to give birth is just an unavoidable speed bump on the way to a glorious Kirk Cameronian utopia, the GOP seems determined to transform their long-anticipated red wave into a bright-blue fuck-you this Roevember.

Also on that list? Sen. Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, who recently stuck his cheddar-festooned foot in his yawping gorgonzola hole after making some particularly Camembert-assing comments about Social Security. So what’s his damage-control plan?

Lie, of course.
