According to Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI), the possibility of a government shutdown is a distraction from Benghazi! from Planned Parenthood cooked up by Democrats and the Liberal Media.
"Yeah, the shutdown's a diversion from the main problem which is the harvesting of little babies' organs. We need to focus on the harvesting of little babies' organs," Johnson said. [...]
"We'll win that political fight. But if we're diverted by the government shutdown then we know who wins that," Johnson said. "The Democrats, you know quite honestly outside.."
"The media wins it," [radio host Vicki McKenna] interjected.
"Yeah, the media wins it," Johnson said. "Which is why they love promoting it."
If Republicans want to shut down Planned Parenthood, and if they're willing to shut the federal government down to accomplish it, does that mean Republicans are the distraction?
Are congressional Republicans secretly behind the government shutdown distraction from the Planned Parenthood videos? Are Johnson's fellow Republicans conspiring to deliver a win to Democrats?
Is it possible to satirize what is already a self-parody?
The GOP's desire to destroy Planned Parenthood is the primary reason why we're days away from a federal government shutdown. If Ron Johnson is concerned that a government shutdown may get in the way of their witch hunt, he should probably urge his colleagues to fund the government immediately.
When Johnson said "they love promoting it," I assume he was referring to his fellow congressional Republicans and several of the Republican presidential candidates. They love promoting a shutdown.
