Ron Johnson: “I've worked in the private sector for over 40 years.”

“Mr. Barnes claims to be part of the working class, but I haven't really found evidence that he actually had a real job in the private sector. Maybe he had some, but he certainly doesn't talk about it. So I've worked in the private sector for over 40 years. Again, I've worked shift work, started with very humble beginnings. I know exactly what people are struggling with. I've worked really hard to make sure that our economy can grow so we have great opportunities.” (16:49–16:52)
