Alternet: ‘Cruelty’: Johnson buried for using ‘classist stereotype’ to justify GOP’s Medicaid cuts

US Speaker of the House Mike Johnson sets new low records for ignorance and condescension in his analysis of the top source of Medicaid fraud:

Johnson blamed what he suggested is a large number of male gamers on Medicaid for “draining resources.”

“So if you clean that up and shore it up, you save a lot of money, and you return the dignity of work to young men who need to be out working instead of playing video games all day,” he again declared.

40% of Speaker Johnson’s constituents rely on Medicaid for their health insurances. That’s an awful lot of male gamers draining resources by playing video games all day instead of being out working.

More likely Speaker Johnson, like so many of King Donald’s sycophants, is simply out of touch with reality and needs to move on after his clock is cleaned in the 2026 mid-terms.
