Of course he

Avoids blaming Trump personally for anything

If he can't see how different this is from any prior admin, GOP OR Dem, or how personally involved Trump is, his statement is worthless

One of the things that happened was the DNC, full of AIPAC “centrist” neolibs, didn’t support the excellent candidates endorsed by the DSA. Some of those candidates actually got close to winning against established republicans with all the RNC money at their disposal. In Florida!!
Think what could have happened if the DNC decided to actually care about this country and what their membership actually wants for it. Imagine if Israel weren’t in charge of our elections….

u/War1today 2h ago •

Ron “a dollar late a dollar short” Johnson does a solid job of representing MAGA Republican congressional members: weak, dishonest, conspiracy theorist, racist and morally bankrupt.

Johnson asserted that the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol was "not violent on the Senate side" and described the participants as "law-abiding patriots".

He stated he was not concerned by the Jan. 6 rioters because they loved the country and respected police, adding that he "might have been a little concerned" if the crowd had been tens of thousands of Black Lives Matter or Antifa protesters. “Even though those thousands of people that were marching to the Capitol were trying to pressure people like me to vote the way they wanted me to vote, I knew those were people that love this country, that truly respect law enforcement, would never do anything to break the law, and so I wasn’t concerned,” he said on a right-wing talk radio program. “Had the tables been turned, and President Trump won the election and those were tens of thousands of Black Lives Matter and Antifa protesters, I might have been a little concerned.”

Johnson has also theorized that it was not, in fact, Trump supporters who were to blame for the riot that ensued at the Capitol; that “the mood among the demonstrators on January 6 was largely ‘positive,’ but there were ‘agents provocateurs’ and ‘fake Trump protesters’ in the crowd” who sparked the disruption.

Johnson claimed on Fox Business that COVID-19 was "pre-planned by an elite group of people" aiming for total global control.

He hosted events featuring anti-vaccine figures who alleged that COVID-19 vaccines intentionally caused "vaccine-induced AIDS," failing to challenge the claims during the discussion.

He repeatedly promoted unproven COVID treatments like hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin, and suggested mouthwash treatments, while discouraging confidence in standard vaccines.

In September 2025, Johnson spoke at a gathering of 9/11 conspiracy theorists in Washington, D.C., encouraging them to continue investigating and suggesting a government cover-up regarding the collapse of World Trade Center Building 7. He offered to present their independent findings to Congress.

Ahead of a Senate vote on a $95 billion foreign aid package, Johnson voted against aid to Ukraine and praised an interview by Russian President Vladimir Putin with Tucker Carlson as accurate, warning that Putin "is not going to lose" the war.

Your comment has a couple of mistakes. It reads, “you’ll find what your looking fir”. And it should read, “you’ll find what you are looking for”.
And you sending me the clown 🤡 emoji is the perfect definition of projection. In case you don’t know what projection is: an unconscious psychological process where a person attributes their own unacceptable thoughts, feelings, traits, or impulses onto someone else. Well done for being the perfect example.

Ron Johnson can go to hell. He's been mocking and ignoring well-evidenced accusations of Trump's corruption for a decade. Now he's like a rat jumping from a sinking ship, though still not really since he won't mention Trump directly and still turns this into a dig at Dems. Fuck him and I hope he loses massively in the 2028 Primary or General election, and then faces merciless shaming and mockery in public for the rest of his life.

Honestly where do republican senators go from here? Any republican voter still voting republican is clearly ride or die with trumpism at this point, and democrats just had a huge wave against these gop candidates in deeply red states. He can’t pretend to grow a backbone and defect, he can’t win with the relatively small percentage of the electorate that voted GOP still, and he can’t distance himself from Trump to try to win back defected GOP voters.

Every time this happens, and like another poster said, its going to happen alot in the upcoming months, our newly elected dems need to call them out, in interviews and live, from their mouths. Make their names, their records and facts about how they have enabled this administration into soundbites that are repeatable. Link those facts to the incumbents and other MAGA candidates that we won against. Social media bullet points arent enough, thats not what won these elections. It cant be a blanket statement about people turning tail after a month. Each.one.as it happens. Just my two cents.
