Jon Tester Calls GOP Group 'Jackasses' For Shaming His Car
HuffPost
The Montana Democrat said a Toyota Prius he uses to get around Washington, D.C., isn't the only vehicle he owns.
Sen. Jon Tester (D-Mont.) on Monday slammed national Republicans for mocking the car he uses to get around Washington: a red Toyota Prius.
“What a bunch of jackasses,” Tester said in response to a press release from the National Republican Senatorial Committee that called Tester’s choice of vehicle a “bombshell.”
Tester bought the Prius in 2020 and regularly uses it to get to and from the U.S. Capitol for votes in the Senate. It’s not the only vehicle he owns, however.
