The senator joined 1310 WIBAMilwaukee on Monday to discuss school choice, where he lamented that liberal politicians send their children to private school while pushing against school choice initiatives.
"Its unbelievable to me that liberals, that President Obama, of course he sends his children to private school, as did Al Gore, and Bill Clinton and every other celebrated liberal," Johnson said. "They just dont want to let those idiot inner city kids that they purport to be so supportive of
they just dont want to give them the same opportunity their own kids have. I think its disgraceful."
Johnson then told the Post on Thursday that he was being sarcastic and trying to express how liberals think of inner city youth.
