Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) accused his critics Wednesday of “playing class envy” as he defended doubling his wealth while in office and inserting a major provision into former President Donald Trump’s signature 2017 tax bill, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Said Johnson: “I’m up against massive amounts of spending. I’m up against the media. They’re very good. They are very good at assassinating people’s character, playing class envy, distorting things beyond any reasonable recognition of things I say.”
He added: “That’s been twisted to I carved out a special deal for myself. When you cut taxes for everybody, everybody gets a tax cut.”
