Clyburn slams Ron Johnson: "The guy is racist"

During an interview with CNN’s Don Lemon late Tuesday, Clyburn called Johnson a “racist,” and alleged that he knew exactly what he was saying.

“The moment he prefaced his last statement, ‘I know I’m going to get in trouble with this,’ and then went on said to me he knew exactly what he saying,” Clyburn said. “He knew why he was saying it and knew exactly how the reactions would be, he just wouldn’t care.”

“The guy is racist, this is not the first time he has indicated such,” Clyburn said. “I would hope that the people of Wisconsin would take note of this and do what they can to help make this country a better place.”
