Twitter buries GOP 'scumbag liar' Ronna McDaniel for claiming '82% of Americans' make over $400,000/

Ronna Romney McDaniel, the chairperson of the Republican National Committee, on Sunday faced backlash after suggesting that “82% of Americans” make more than $400,000 per year.

In a tweet on Sunday, McDaniel pointed to a video clip from a conservative media group, which asserted that “middle income earners” will see a tax increase under a Joe Biden presidency. However, Biden has said that he will not raise taxes on individuals making less than $400,0000 per year.

“Joe Biden would raise taxes on 82% of Americans, and we cannot afford it!” McDaniel wrote.

Whatever she’s taking for COVID-19, stay away from it. Can’t taste, smell or read percentages.

More likely 82% of all income belongs to those making over $400K.
Poor are getting poorer and the middle class is exterminated.

Retirees, non-working spouses, and college students are three categories that mostly don't make more than $40K.

I may know a handful of people who could make that much but at least one of them is internationally recognized as being at the top of his field.

I'd have my own home,and I wouldn't have this cyst poking out of my thigh that looks like a golf ball under my skin. The excess skin from being fat would be gone .Oh and I could have a reliable car and I would travel and that asshole free zone and cat sanctuary would already exist. And I would look like a rainbow panther via body mods and tattoos.

Every professional liar knows it sounds much more truthful if you throw a decimal point in your number.

Doesn't 82.4% sound more convincing than 82%?

Maybe I should ask for a raise. And I'm a professional. Imagine all those people scraping by on minimum wage.

As RNC chairwoman, she probably meant to say that 82% of the people THAT SHE KNOWS make over $400,000.

82 percent of Americans pull down a half-million a year? Lay down the pipe, dear; smoking crack is the wrong hobby for you.
