@JoeBiden explains how Ron Johnson has been shilling for huge pharmaceutical companies to kee prices high.
Explosive booing.

Folks jump to their feet, cheering, pumping fists
@JoeBiden explains how @RonJohnsonWI helped pharma block a $35 cap on insulin costs. “But I’m coming back and getting it.”

“When FDR signed the National Labor Relations Act, he didn’t say it was *okay* to be in a union. He said he *encouraged* unions.

“You can’t be pro insurrectionist and pro democracy.” – @JoeBiden
