I am not ready yet to die for Trump's bank account.
Kenosha County Democratic Party
Ron Johnson's op-ed appeared Sunday March 29th in USAToday.
Johnson, one of only 8 Republican senators who voted AGAINST the coronavirus relief bill, penned this op-ed which touts his let-them-die-for-the-sake-of-the-economy philosophy.
And its just as compassionate as his "I’m sure the deaths are horrific, but the flip side of this is the vast majority of people who get coronavirus do survive” quote earlier this month.
This time he's telling us to "keep things in perspective" and reminding us that "Each year, approximately 48,000 Americans commit suicide and an estimated 67,000 die of a drug overdose. " As if that's somehow comparable to a highly infectious virus for which there is inadequate testing and no vaccine.
He suggests people's fear of the virus is disproportionate and media hype is responsible for that concern, as if we should turn a blind eye to the growing number of people infected, the hospitalizations, the growing death toll, the fact that people are dying alone-isolated from loved ones, the lack of PPE for our healthcare workers, the refrigerator trucks holding bodies, the soccer fields and convention centers turned into make-shift hospitals, and that our healthcare system in parts of our country has been completely overrun.
Thank you once again for showing us your deep compassion for humanity, Senator Johnson.
What a guy!
