Quick reminder about this RU tool as he spouts more lies and faux outrage in front of Congress today #russianasset
As I wrote back in 2019, Ron Johnson has been a traitor for over seven years now...ever since he got back from his Fourth of July trip to Moscow in 2018.
No surprise he's been out there spreading Kremlin propaganda about vaccines.

"In his egoism, Trump exhibits an overarching desire to squeeze the nation dry, including by converting as much of America’s wealth to himself regardless of the consequences. What Trump can’t take with him, he would just as soon ruin."
We are all passengers in Trump’s death cab
The nihilism of the regime is its most terrifying attribute.

Trump nominated a legit white nationalist to a top post at the State Department. I asked him some basic questions about his belief in the “erasure of white culture”. Watch this embarrassing, fumbling answer. Like he has never before been asked to explain his views.

Freely admit Ron Johnson mystifies me, an aggressively purple state whose other senator is a Democratic lesbian and has made real progress in undoing Koch malfeasance over the past few years, yet still represented by a man who rivals Tommy Tuberville in oafish malevolence

Trump’s pardons for Jan. 6 rioters were already indefensible.
The fact that so many of those who received pardons went on to commit additional crimes, including many felonies, makes the move look so much worse.
