Note: This is NOT the shit statue
Q: What’s the difference between Ron Johnson and a 180-pound heap of manure in the shape of Ron Johnson? A: About 4 pounds of manure.
Now, I don’t know for certain that Sen. Johnson weighs 184 pounds—and, regardless, it’s a grievous social faux pas to openly speculate about a churl’s weight—but the question is more relevant than you might think. Because the other big difference between a pile of manure and Ron Johnson is that the former shows up in support of action on climate change.
A shit statue in the shape of Ron Johnson will be unveiled on Thursday at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee to demonstrate that climate change isn’t actually “bullshit,” despite what Johnson has said in the past. So as still more extreme weather pounds the American South, Ron is showing up in the only way he ever has—as a big, honkin’ heap o’ scat.
The event, hosted by NextGen PAC and MoveOn, is designed to “expose Johnson’s harmful views and take action on climate change. The events will center around an unveiling of a life-size sculpture of Johnson made of manure—a ‘scatue’—that will be toured around the city.” Additionally, volunteers will “be using the opportunity to talk to students about the importance of voting this fall to combat change and committing students those students to sign a pledge to vote.”
