said Johnson's stunt would"accomplish little more than a few sore throats for the Senate clerks who work very hard day in, day out to help the Senate function."
The clerk begins reading 628 pages of the Covid Relief bill on the Senate floor of the Capitol on March 4, 2021.The Democratic-controlled Senate voted Thursday afternoon to begin debate on President Joe Biden's relief package in a party-line vote. The bill does not need any Republican support to pass because Democrats areto bypass the filibuster. However, Republicans are expected to raise objections to the bill anyway.
Before a final vote can be taken, there will be a period of lawmakers introducing unlimited amendments, known as a vote-a-rama. The House passed a version of the Covid-19 relief bill in February. Once the Senate bill is approved, the House will need to vote on it again before it can be sent to the president.
Sad and shameful
Despicable
There are no words 😶 for your Ignorance or Alarming🚨 disgusting disrespect that you have for Others. 😳😐🤐😤
disgusting. people are starving
Every bill should be ready by every person in congress before voting on it, there is so much pork in them
Why? How does this help anyone?
The democratic pork in the ridiculous bill should be heard by all Americans. Then add the crisis at the border and all Americans should be expecting to pay $4 a gallon for gas. How crazy as all of this adversely impacts all Americans, particularly the most vulnerable.
Lock all the republicans in the senate. They must listen to every word as he is implying they can’t read. Democrats can leave and come back for the vote. Simple. That will put an end to stunts like this
Then, republicans left the building and when the bill was read a Senator asked if there can be a 3 hour debate instead of the 20 hours. Because no republican was there to object, there is now a 3 hour debate. Thanks republicans!
What in the world? I’m so over all this petty crap
Just a total asshole
Good
What’s his beef? Not enough pork for his state?
Be proud, Wisconsin. Your Senator's an embarrassment to the state he's supposed to be representing. A worthy peer to Cruz and Cornyn, the two assholes (mis)representing MY state.
I hope there followers are looking at this there showing there true colors to there own people and to the country and to the world
Not surprise
Loser
Hero clerks read really fast.
Damn near every Bill has other crap jammed into it that’s consistent. What’s also consistent is Ron Johnson being morally bankrupt
I thought GOP believed in individual responsibility. It’s like ur history teacher reading the entire chapter aloud even though it was an assignment the night before 🤦🏼♀️ They support millions of Americans 2 make their own decisions w/ Covid but not elected officials reading a bill?
🖕
Republicans will be damned if they help the citizens in need. Though they glorified the tax cut for the rich leaving the large debt for Americans to pay. How in the world could anybody with any sense support a republican that thinks that the people are less human then them.
Just another Republican tactic they’re acting like little brats because they didn’t win they can’t get their way so they’re going to do whatever they can to stall They just pathetic
What a douche, that Johnson.
You will go down in history as a ‘ big loser” 🤣🤣 because you are!
While America suffers!
Chuck Schumer should have ruled this clown out of order and skipped this travesty.
Shouldn’t they all have read this prior to voting What do you people do anyways 🤔probably the first time they’ve voted on something that they 🙄actually know what’s in it
Shame on you Johnson!👎
They should do this for every single bill they pass. Every single one
and Every single Republican should be there for it. But they won't Because being there for anything isn't what they do. Just as Cruz and his inability to be in state during the Snowstorm in Texas. RepublicansRun
GOP senators of this era are special kind of evil folks.
Biden you have the power to get it moving after all you are our President
Just really petty and stupid
What a cock
What a loser.
Fake news!!
YES! A legal agreement always needs to be read out loud for all parties to have the option to understand all details pertaining to themselves...
I hope he gets boils on his buttt ,while he sits & reads it .All the Republicans should sit their asses while he reads out loud .To learn how the bills should be written for the People!!!
Johnson = Traitor, full stop....
SenRonJohnson Will senators take a quiz on the contents of the bill afterwards? We’d like their scores published.
Read the bill, what a concept
SenJohnson SenJohnsonSD to whom ever it applies, Just stuuuuuuuuuupid ...
He needs to pay the clerks he made read this. This helps nobody. Just a stupid move by Russian Ron.
It’s time for him to go to a psychologist to undo his conspiracy theories. Maybe former guy’s niece, Mary Trump could commit him.
RON JOHNSON like all other 'Trump Republicans' pull from their same old PLAYBOOK of Misinformation, Misdirection, LIES & Obstruction of what A MAJORITY OF AMERICANS WANT even many Republicans! They want THE RELIEF ACT to PASS! BUT, JOHNSON PLAYS GAMES!
What a dick
America, answer this question whereas is this childish behavior promoted by SenRonJohnson and the GOP SenateGOP what you really elected your representative? This is not about what's in America's best interest but rather one parties best interest. This should not fly!
What a waste of time. Its precious for those who cant feed their children, pay their rent, find childcare, get a job. Basic needs are needed in many states. Try going hungry Sen Johnson. This is what you are delaying for REAL people. At least sit and listen.
Alex, I’ll take “Things a douche would do” for $1000.
This is so stupid. The GOP Senators should have to sit there with nothing to read or write with, no laptops, nothing to do but listen. And no bathroom breaks. And no sleeping.
Def the 1 hated man in the USA right now. 😂
America, answer this question whereas is this childish behavior promoted by SenRonJohnson and the GOP SenateGOP what you really elected you're representative to represent you? This is not about what's in America's best rather one parties best interest. This is not fly!
Outrageous. He should have to read it and ALL should have to listen to it without their phones to play on or their computers.
Good for him it's about time 👏 And news channels should cover it so we the American people can hear what the Democrats are trying to pass under our nose
What does Senator Johnson have against those poor Senate clerks who have the job of reading out loud all 628 pages if Covid-bill? Stop this madness and let those poor people go home to their families already. Stupid stunt by a Republican.
Bottom line is, that money will end up in these Senators states uplifting their own state economies. It will turn into tax revenue to help make up for the lost taxes and help them balance their budget. Why would they vote against that?
Why does the GOP not want to get money to the people?
What a jerk.
Your tax dollars are supporting this man's childish behavior.
Republicans simply do not care
😳
Why don't they make it provisional on the proposer being present for every word?
Foolish!
Ron Johnson’s stunt in the venerable Senate should embarrass anyone who voted for him in Wisconsin.
Acting like a kid !!
SenRonJohnson is up for re-election in 2022. Lets make sure that he's sent packing and face people that he wanted to screw over.
As a follow-up, how about getting Mr.. Johnson to read the Manhattan phone book?
Fck this dude
Ron Johnson throws a HissyFit
I bet it's dark where his head resides!
“Grandpa, why do Johnny and I have to kneel on gravel for 12 hours to get our 50 cent allowance?”
i hate when the fucking Democrats and Republicans both do this shit. either stop the fucking legislation or vote on it and take the loss. It's such a waste of fucking time.
I wonder how many people working in SenRonJohnson factory a.k.a sweat shop, is struggling to make ends meet because of this pandemic will still work under his whip when things get better.
The Republicans really want the people to believe they are working for the average American. When they delay and delay helping the American people who are suffering due to the pandemic and the results of it.
I don't how we can ever claim to be an advanced country. As long as we elect assholes and traitors like SenRonJohnson, we will remain a laughing stock of the world. How embarrassing. Forcing low level clerks to read a 600-page bill when no one listens. Dems better man-up.
Dumb bastid!!!
Democrats should of had Twister and 4 speed readers to do it in 1 hour
Sen. Johnson does not care that covid funds will be held back while he and his Republican friends play games with our lives. What kind of people do this? I guess he is fine since he got his shot.
Well, isnt he Mature , NOT
SenRonJohnson has guaranteed that this will be his last term. He represents the rich and greedy, while people suffer. If this idiot had his way people would be living in tents with their heads bent and backs broken. Remake of the movie They Live starring Johnson as an alien.
I agree it should be read to the American people and instead voting for something we might not be aware of
What is this? reading comprehension politics. 🤣
This actually might be a good thing. Tired of both sides sneaking other items in bills. Bills should be single items. Understand the political give & take, but they can do this with the 1 issue of concern in the bill. ABC CNN MSNBC StephenAtHome jimmykimmel
He is so insecure this is the only way he could get attention because, he couldn't organize another Capitol insurrection.
Spending July 4th in Moscow again Senator?
What’s the point? To confirm how an asshole he is?
Is he illiterate?
Childish!!!
lf092313 Is the micro-machine guy still around by chance?
Johnson is a complete embarrassment to the people of Wisconsin
Literacy in local, state & federal elected officials today is lacking when compared to those who founded the USA. Reading a bill to Members may improve the process. Perhaps voters could listen in.
That’ll help those in need:( the GOP doesn’t care about it’s citizens unless they make over $400K
Asshole
Care about himself he got money in his pocket he get free prescription coverage. Doesn’t need cataract eye surgery that Medicare don’t pay 4. Time to stand up for ppl that elected you wasting our time to get our money you use all ppl SS like it a piggy 🐷 bank account for politic
there’s literally people dying...
Whether in power, or out of power, The GOP in DC spend most of their time trying to do nothing about nothing.
Waste of money, waste of time, waste of space.
Sen Johnson's behavior is similar to hazing a pledge during fraternity rush week. He should pay the clerks extra to do his scut work
Vote him out
SenRonJohnson Is another GOP Senator who does not care about the taxpayer. He only cares about that big donor money, kickbacks, corporate money, and doing what the GOP tells him. We see the GOP true colors again.
What are these people thinking there are people out there that are hurting that are losing their homes that are losing their jobs that can't put food on the table for their children how can people be so cruel
RussianRon
Jeez, if he can't read, he should just say so.
I see they skipped debate on the pension gift to the Teamsters
Should have made him sit there and listen to it.
Way to go A hole
