Senate Guidelines Committee Chair Amy Klobuchar nailed Sen. Ron Johnson for pushing conspiracy theories through the Capitol assault listening to.
Sen. Johnson stated, “Lots of the marchers have been households with babies, many aged, obese or plain drained for frail, traits not sometimes attributed to the riot inclined. Many professional-police shirts or pro-police black and blue flags. Though they represented principally the working class by method and speech, some stood out. Didn’t share the jovial, pleasant, and earnest demeanor of the nice majority. Some clearly didn’t slot in. He describes 4 several types of individuals, plain-clothed militants, provocateurs, pretend Trump protesters,s after which disciplined uniform calm protesters, I believe these are the individuals who in all probability deliberate this. The overwhelming majority of Trump supporters are pro-law enforcement, and the very last thing they might do is violate the regulation.”

Sen. Johnson has been pushing the conspiracy theory that the armed insurrection never happened. It’s tough for the Senate to meet its duties of oversight when individuals like Ron Johnson are abusing their place within the Senate to push conspiracy theories.
It isn’t like Johnson was attempting to play to Fox Information, because Fox wasn’t covering the hearing. Ron Johnson was doing what he does. Sen. Johnson toxically spreads lies and misinformation everywhere in the Senate as a result of he views it as his solely path to remaining a Senator.
Ron Johnson will stay an issue till the voters of Wisconsin kick him out of the Senate.
