When U.S. Representative Karen Bass said, "there is real pushback, constituents in my district, the last thing in the world they want to hear is us getting into another conflict," Johnson interjected that the war fatigue Americans feel isn't because we've been at war longer than at any other time in our history, but because President Obama has done a realllllly crappy job selling them to the American people:
