Ron Johnson rambles on for 6 minutes and tries his best at Republican grandstanding, only to get smacked down like an annoying gnat with a succinct and articulate response from a very smart woman. Forward to the 6:00 minute mark to cut to the chase (unfortunately this is the only version I can find on YouTube, so you’ll have to click through to watch it there).

Is 'BOOGA BOOGA', expect to be smacked down hard. Of course, Johnson and the rest do not care one iota about the first amendment or any facts. So, she just wasted her time in there. But, I loved it!

It would be nice for someone to point out his rhetoric, and how much he has lied, how much he has contributed with misinformation...the guy is a giant SOB!
