Ron Johnson may have gone too far in boorishness in his second and final debate with his Democratic opponent, Lieutenant Governor Mandela Barnes, at Marquette University. ed_kilgore writes
for a man of grace and eloquence. I routinely refer to the plain-spoken ideologue as “hammerheaded” and find that to be a technically proficient description. But he may have gone too far in boorishness in his second and final debate with his Democratic opponent, Lieutenant Governor Mandela Barnes, at Marquette University.
The senator also commended the lieutenant governor’s family and upbringing but later used the question to attack his opponent. “I mean, likewise, I appreciate the fact that Lt. Gov. Barnes had loving parents, a school teacher, father who worked third shift. So he had a good upbringing,” Johnson said. “I guess what puzzles me about that is with that upbringing, why has he turned against America?” he asked before receiving boos from the audience.
Moderators closed tonight's Wisconsin Senate debate by asking each candidate to say something they find admirable about the other.Johnson said Barnes is "against America."
