Wisconsin Examiner: “Sen. Ron Johnson was one of 30 Republicans who voted against the recently passed $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill – yet in an appearance on the conservative Dan Bongino Show, Johnson said he hadn’t even read the bill. The package passed the Senate last week but has not yet passed the House of Representatives. It could bring billions of dollars to Wisconsin to repair roads and bridges, expand internet access across the state and replace lead pipes; 19 Republicans, including Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) voted for the bill.”

“Johnson noted the bill’s 2,700 page length and its price tag in his public statements about the vote, but later said he didn’t read it. ‘And, I’ll be the first to admit, I didn’t read the thing,’ he said on the Aug. 12 episode of the Dan Bongino Show. ‘I was able to glean pretty quickly on that there was no way I was going to be able to support that pig…’ Democrats in Wisconsin say Johnson admitting he didn’t even read the bill is another sign of his failure as a leader in the state. ‘Once again, Ron Johnson’s complete lack of leadership and disregard for the office he holds is on full display,’ Philip Shulman, spokesperson for the Democratic Party of Wisconsin, says. ‘In refusing to even read the bipartisan infrastructure plan, Ron Johnson sent a very clear message to Wisconsinites that their interests and needs don’t matter to him.'”
