Lego aficionado and clown-show headliner Ron Johnson made all kinds of news yesterday — though not for reasons he’d like.
It all started when the Washington Post reported that Johnson referred to “idiot inner city kids” in a radio interview.
The headlines speak for themselves:
- Washington Post: Sen. Ron Johnson regrets referring to ‘idiot inner city kids’
- Milwaukee Journal Sentinel: Sen. Ron Johnson refers to ‘idiot inner city kids’ on Milwaukee radio
- WGBA-TV: “Ron Johnson is taking some heat for his choice of words…he referred to inner-city students as ‘idiots'”
- WRC-TV: Ron Johnson: “They just don’t want to let those idiot inner-city kids that they purport to be so supportive of…”
- Associated Press: Senator refers to ‘idiot inner-city kids’
- Talking Points Memo: GOP Sen. Was ‘Being Very Sarcastic’ With ‘Idiot Inner City Kids’ Reference
- The Capital Times: Sen. Ron Johnson refers to ‘idiot inner city kids’ on Milwaukee radio
- Sun Times: Wisconsin senator regrets ‘idiot inner city kids’ comment
Then, BuzzFeed News reported that an extremely misleading ad by the pro-Ron Johnson Restoration PAC ad used a photoshopped image of President Obama. Here are some more Ron Johnson gems:
