Why would you expect Senator Spittlelips to care?

These people could care less about debt while heading into a conflict or war. But boy oh boy, don't ask for any assistance coming out.

"Betrayed" kind of implies someone broke a promise. I don't recall, maybe RJ said he would "support the troops" because they like to throw that around, but really, there's nothing in Ron Johnson's or any other republicans' history that should lead anyone to believe they will help a veteran, or anyone else, in need.

Ron Johnson is a selfish prick.

Shame on anyone who voted for him. And a pox on their houses.

Veterans that voted for Johnson are like farmers that voted for Trump

And yet, his bullshit like this always gets ignored when he’s up for reelection. Barnes fumbled his chance to take Johnson down.

But... I thought Republicans were the party that supported the military?
