Woody Johnson has never been a man of the people

Just a year back, Johnson was serving as President Donald Trump’s ambassador to the United Kingdom, and his remarks made the State Department take notice. Woody Johnson was investigated for allegedly making some ‘racist and sexist’ comments. A diplomat aware of these comments told CNN’s Jennifer Hansler, Kylie Atwood, and Nicole Gaouette, that the comments were ‘cringeworthy‘ and objectified women of color.

A similar situation happened in 2018 when Woody Johnson asked if the audience would be “a bunch of Black people” prior to an event celebrating Black History Month.

On another occasion, Johnson appeared offended to have been invited to an International Women’s Day gathering, and raised the question of why he had to partake in “a feminist event.”

Such occurrences have been regular with the 76-year-old, and maybe the fans have plenty of reasons to not rally behind Woody Johnson.
