“We need somebody that’s gonna care about Tennessee families and lifting them up and making sure that it’s them that we’re trying to cut costs and not cutting costs for corporations and billionaires,” Johnson said. “We’ve got to make sure that Tennessee families are earning a good wage, have access to affordable health care, have great schools for their kids, and can live in dignity and be able to retire.”
Those are real issues that affect actual Tennesseans and not a third-margarita rant about “damn libruls” taking your inefficient lightbulbs and precious guns that you use to shoot the lightbulbs when they burn out on you.
Johnson’s campaign ad contains more of this good stuff. We also learn that she’s 6 foot 3. Damn.
