Wisconsin Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) mistakenly called South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley (R) an immigrant in a radio interview posted on his YouTube account Wednesday and picked up by Buzzfeed Thursday.
Asked by The John Howell Show about Haley’s State of the Union rebuttal and a possible backlash from Donald Trump, Johnson said, “That may be, but let’s face it. No two people agree on everything. And Governor Haley is an immigrant. “
Haley is the daughter of Indian immigrants, but was born in South Carolina.
“She has powerful stories of being an immigrant. And experiencing discrimination herself,” Johnson continued. “And so she’s obviously gonna react different to somebody who’s never experienced that. I tend to align myself more with Governor Haley’s comments on the issue.”

Russ Feingold is running hard to regain the seat. Send some coin his way.
Oh look! Now the Republicans are practicing “Outreach” in their own party!
“She has powerful stories of being an immigrant. And experiencing discrimination herself,”
I now have an irony headache…
What a dumbfuck.
Oooooooh, a Freudian slip if there ever was one.
