Senator Sherrod Brown Out Here Pissing Off Republicans by Stating the Obvious

Via ABC News, here's Senator Sherrod Brown in a shouting match with Senator Orrin Hatch, of Utah, over the new Republican tax bill.

"I like you personally very much," Hatch tells Brown, "but I'm tellin' ya. This bullcrap that you guys throw out here really gets old after awhile."

His net worth is $14mil, so he really understands the underprivileged.
Wonder how he made that much from "this stinking job"

I wish he'd run for Prez. Wouldn't Connie Schultz be an awesome First Lady? LIGHT YEARS better than Donnie and Moronia.
