R Senator Jon Husted of Ohio told Americans they need to "work harder."

An average voter might not understand the specifics of the War Powers Act or how a reconciliation bill works, but explain to me how anyone could vote for a Republican condescending douche like Husted over a fighter of average people like Sherrod Brown?

How would he know how hard somebody does or doesn't work?
This guy should have been disqualified from office based on sheer stupidity & obliviousness.

Sen. Jon Husted: "People living in poverty are just not very, um, experienced at navigating the real world, right? I remember talking to one young lady who said, 'Well, I don't really know how money works at a grocery store,' because she grew up and has lived all of her adult life using SNAP cards to buy groceries. You literally have to teach people how to budget ... “

Says this wealthy douchenozzle who probably never set foot in a grocery store or tried to feed a family working for minimum wage.

Jobs are in decline because of Trump's policies and they want people to work harder. They are not recognizing the flaws they are creating, but instead, putting the blame on the American people.
