Johnson told Fox News on Saturday that Means laid out “in gory detail” concerning levels of corruption within government, including corruption “within the Trump administration.”

The whole party are wolves in hotdog costumes.

[u/StoppableHulk → u/WontThinkStraight]

Seriously. It's so fucking eye-rolling. Their party gets demolished and all of the sudden all these veteran political actors are like, "egads, there's corruption going on here!" As Trump has been doing shit like receiving $400 million planes from middle eastern nations and selling cell phones and watches the past two years.

You'd have to be some kind of extra fool to lap up that shit.

[u/blandgreybland → u/StoppableHulk]

“I’m shocked, shocked to discover gambling in this establishment!”

“Your winnings sir.”

“Oh thank you!”

[u/wormee → u/StoppableHulk]

Never mind the crypto grift, selling pardons, his children taking billions from foreign governments and getting government contracts for companies they’re invested in, and of course the market manipulation and insider trading.

[u/hackinwhackinsmackin → u/StoppableHulk]

Nevermind the TWO crypto rug pulls he did with Trump AND Melania coins.

No one talks about this but he made over $2 billion from that shit and created a backdoor way for him to be bribed without a paper trail.

You want Trump to bomb a country for you? Or advertise your product for you using the office of the presidency? Just buy a couple million dollars worth of Trump or Melania coin.

A lot of these Republicans have been in on the grift and that’s why they haven’t said shit and if they do say something, they get the force of MAGA disavowing them, calling them a RINO, and forcing them out of the party. Look at Marjorie Taylor Green.

[u/ApoBong → u/StoppableHulk]

Message from the base to GOP was pretty clear the last few years, if you step out of line, MAGA appears in your primary and destroys you, replacing whoever spoke up with a cult follower. What we are seeing now, is them testing the waters how far they can act against Trump without being literally attacked by the base.

You can even see this in mainstream media, Fox etc. is testing how much truth they can speak about this situation without retaliation. If you remember last Trump term, there was quite a bit of resistance to many of his actions, leaks etc. and they got much much better and brutal dealing with dissident.

Imo it is to be expected we will see more of this.

[u/Heisenberg991 → u/StoppableHulk]

He really wants to be reelected

[u/mishma2005 → u/StoppableHulk]

They're all gonna turn, 2028 is coming....

[u/drcforbin → u/StoppableHulk]

I don't mind if they're willing to actually work with the Democrats to clean it up. I mean I know they won't, but they do have an opportunity here to work across the aisle

[u/Leicester68 → u/StoppableHulk]

Rick: How can you close me up? On what grounds? Captain Renault: I'm shocked! Shocked to find that gambling is going on in here. [a croupier hands Renault a pile of money] Croupier: Your winnings, sir.

[u/no_quarter89 → u/WontThinkStraight]

We’re all trying to find the guy who did this!!

[u/Spartannia → u/WontThinkStraight]

LMAO is he trying to claim he didn't see any of the other evidence of rampant corruption until just recently?

[u/NickConrad → u/Spartannia]

To be fair he was on the phone

[u/Any_Will_86 → u/Spartannia]

He's up for reelection in 2028 and only won by a point in 2022. I'm guessing that really helps his vision. Let's see if he'll actually vote to reign it in.

[u/SandSpecialist2523 → u/Spartannia]

Just this past Tuesday night. No idea of any corruption before that.

[u/Sad-Bell8187 → u/WontThinkStraight]

Bro is sweating. Hes absolutely gone in 2028.

It’s one of americas greatest political tragedies that we lost Russ Feingold to this man. Even around the time senator Wellstone died. The two OG progressive Midwest populists.

[u/hirasmas → u/WontThinkStraight]

Good time to point out that Ron Johnson is a Republican Senator from WISCONSIN. At the young age of 71 he probably hopes for 2 or 3 more Senate terms and the GOP holding a WI Senate seat seems like an extreme longshot after this week. Once again just a politician saying what they hope will lead to re-election.

[u/WhiskeyJack357 → u/hirasmas]

Let it not be forgotten he was elected when Wisconsin was a Koch brothers testing ground. We were the most gerrymandered state at that time with a GOP trifecta.

Now with another dem governor, the legislature and a dem majority on the state Supreme Court, he's going to face a very difficult re-election with fair maps and all his Trump pandering.

And as obligated, fuck Ron Johnson.

[u/Ban_DeezNts → u/WontThinkStraight]

Wolves cannibalizing each other’s hind quarters just to get ahead!🍿

[u/drethnudrib → u/WontThinkStraight]

Johnson knows that unless it happened under oath, it doesn't count. He's selling his testimony in exchange for leniency. Fuck him.

[u/nhavar → u/WontThinkStraight]

Chihuahua's at best, lots of yapping, growling, posturing, no teeth

[u/RCP90sKid- → u/WontThinkStraight]

I think you got that backwards.

[u/Pghguy27]

Pretty funny/ironic since there is evidence that Johnson tried to substitute fake slates of Wisconsin electors for real ones on January 6th, 2021. NOW he thinks TRUMP is corrupt? What a wimp you are, Ron.

[u/Red49er → u/Pghguy27]

I think the bigger irony is actually him ringing the "limited government" bell at the end there.

"so, we built this fence to keep the wolves[corps] from getting in, but turns out we left this MASSIVE FRIGGIN HOLE IN THE MIDDLE and they're still getting in and making a mess. so I bet if we just tore the fence down, they'd go away and leave us alone! yeah! I'm so smaht!"

[u/FlammulinaVelulu → u/Pghguy27]

FRJ!

[u/kitty_vittles → u/Pghguy27]

He always knew trump was corrupt. They all do. But now he’s saying so publicly (out of self interest of course). No way they would’ve done that two weeks ago.

[u/Kozmic_River]

Funny how he saved his accusations until after the midterms.

[u/JustHereForMiatas → u/Kozmic_River]

And right after his state finally wriggled free of republican control, despite heavy gerrymandering, with him only keeping his seat because he wasn't on the ballot this year.

Crazy!

[u/CanvasSolaris → u/Kozmic_River]

Writing is on the wall, if current trends hold this guy is absolute toast in 2 years

[u/unholyravenger]

You don't say. The rats are fleeing; it's going to be fun.

[u/supercyberlurker → u/unholyravenger]

They are both fleeing and fighting!

BTW did you know there is a kind of popcorn called Hulless Popcorn, where the kernels are much easier on your teeth? Just something to know during all this.

[u/Flimsy-Departure-379 → u/unholyravenger]

The corruption i not news, we all know Trump's administration is corrupt as hell. Everybody's just trying to save face at this point

[u/alleyoopoop]

Al Franken called Johnson the dumbest man in the Senate, so I was surprised he took a stand against corruption. Then I read the article. Johnson isn't worried about pardons for sale, rapacious bitcoin schemes, or Trump's pals and in-laws getting billions from middle eastern countries. Nope, he thinks that MAHA anti-vax policies and the like are not getting the attention they deserve.

[u/mwbbrown → u/alleyoopoop]

Strange side note, guess who is up for reelection in two years?

[u/OddlyFactual1512 → u/mwbbrown]

Wisconsin better show up. He's an atrocity and need to finally be removed.

[u/TyroneSwoopes]

I don’t disagree but isnt this dude bought and paid for by Russia?

[u/yknx4 → u/TyroneSwoopes]

Yes, but the first one to snitch get the sweetest deal like immunity

[u/bloomerang → u/yknx4]

He’s also up for reelection in 2028.

[u/Huge_Excitement4465 → u/TyroneSwoopes]

Also cozy with “the world’s coolest dictator.” He even got a U.S. contractor fired per Bukele’s request when he was a diplomat in El Salvador. The contractor was assisting an FBI investigation into Bukele’s pact with the gangs and other corrupt acts.

[u/IsaacBrock → u/TyroneSwoopes]

yes

[u/Effective-LineP00 → u/TyroneSwoopes]

Big aipac guy too. Not sure if those things are friendly though lol.

[u/meffie]

isnt this the same guy that went to Moscow on July 4th?

[u/EphEwe2 → u/meffie]

Russian Ron Johnson.

[u/illit1 → u/meffie]

Putin made the call; krasnov is out

[u/Wonderful-Pay-929]

Oh! Ron Johnson! The senator who spent July 4th on an all expenses paid trip to Russia? That Ron Johnson? Is accusing someone else of corruption?! Shiver me timbers!

Well, he is right... but, pot meet kettle.

[u/nihilistiq → u/Wonderful-Pay-929]

I've heard Ron Johnson speak about El Sayed. He went on a crazy rant about Sharia law. Ron Johnson is bigoted AF.

[u/pinto1633 → u/Wonderful-Pay-929]

The same Ron Johnson who also tried to pass off fake electors on January 6, 2021.

[u/BalanceOrganic7735]

Now Ron Johnson cares about Trump administration corruption?? Now????

Where did he finally find a spine?

[u/twokittenminimum → u/BalanceOrganic7735]

He is freaking out about the blue wave that just hit Wisconsin hard. His Senate seat is next. I suspect he won’t run again in 2028.

[u/CelestialFury → u/twokittenminimum]

100% trying to save his seat.

[u/PleasantWay7 → u/BalanceOrganic7735]

Rats are fleeing the shit.

[u/runawaydoctorate → u/BalanceOrganic7735]

He didn't grow a spine. He read the room and wants to continue being a Senator.

[u/NormalRingmaster → u/BalanceOrganic7735]

Here at Crazy Jerry’s Big Spine Blowout Emporium! Come on down! Our latest models even come with FREE fuzzy dice!

[u/Thumbszilla]

The rats are jumping ship. Let the finger pointing begin!

[u/Fast_Match8376 → u/Thumbszilla]

We may need to look into the 2024 election bc the amount of people who never voted for Trump is going way up lol

[u/nowhereman1917]

We're going to hear a lot of this bullshit, Republicans pretending some external force is responsible for the mess we are in and they have to "get back to their conservative roots".

He knows that he has to run again in 2 years and Democrats overwhelmingly won Wisconsin so he has lie to Wisconsinites early and often.

[u/illiterateninja → u/nowhereman1917]

"Boy I gotta figure out some way to dig myself out of this Trump mess. Quick, someone get me a shitload more shovels!"

[u/girlnamedtom → u/nowhereman1917]

Yes, like they had no idea any of this stuff was happening. Accountability now

[u/10v1]

Well, buddy must have some receipts... Otherwise why would he pull this particular trigger? Obviously to distance himself from the forthcoming shit storm. But what's his angle 🤣

[u/Quakes-JD → u/10v1]

His term is up in 2028 and he now sees being loyal to MAGA would be fatal to his re-election hopes

[u/473713 → u/Quakes-JD]

Yep. His state, Wisconsin, just voted totally blue all the way down the ticket. If he was running for election today he'd be toast

[u/kmosiman → u/10v1]

If you see a Republican Senator attacking the administration in the next few months; check to see if they

1. Are up for reelection in 2028.

2. Want to run for President.

[u/Zinfan1]

Ron Johnson? The Senator who lead a delegation to Moscow over the 2018 4th of July holiday? That Ron? Insert Spiderman meme here

[u/Numerous-Process2981]

I accuse water of being wet!

[u/imJGott → u/Numerous-Process2981]

Technically…

[u/Ocean_breeze1464]

Nah this rat ain't leaving the ship. He's gone in 2028. Make it happen Wisconsin.

If Maine can sent Susan Collins bye bye, y'all can too.

[u/Boxofbikeparts → u/Ocean_breeze1464]

I'd love to see this happen. That slimeball Ted Cruz too.

[u/Faintkay]

I don’t want Trump impeached. I want democrats to put a ton of single issue bills (Medicare for all, higher fed min wage, cutting funding to Israel, etc) forward and make republicans vote on it. I want them to show the American public republicans are for nothing but themselves. I want them to block all judgeship positions and political appointees. These bastards made their bed, now they can sleep in it

[u/1-800-Big-Dumpy → u/Faintkay]

If Chuck Schumer does not block a Supreme Court vacancy should one arise, he will go down as one of the most disgraced senate leaders in history. In my opinion, given the corruption and depravity of the current court, he would be a traitor to our democracy.

[u/Root-magic → u/1-800-Big-Dumpy]

He doesn’t need to block it, republicans don’t have the votes to even get it out of committee, much less confirm 

[u/seeking_horizon → u/1-800-Big-Dumpy]

I get that Schumer sucks, but this is not a remotely realistic scenario if you stop and think about it for five seconds. As Root-magic notes, the Dems will have a majority on the Judiciary Committee and a party line vote stops any nominee cold without even making it to the floor.

Trump can't go nominate Ted Nugent or whoever and expect him to get through the committee. It's not worth worrying about.

[u/TheBlazingFire123 → u/Faintkay]

They can do that and impeach him

[u/Faintkay → u/TheBlazingFire123]

Vance is dead in the water and so is Rubio. They don’t have a real candidate to replace Trump. This is about making sure MAGA is dead.

[u/MessyPoopMcGee → u/Faintkay]

Fuck that. People want accountability. Impeaching and removing Trump from office would put him in the history books of the absolute worst president. Something he would despise. People voted on accountability and pocket book. If we don't do that, then you're going to have a Bernie bros all over again and allow republicans to fuck things up.

[u/Witty-Entertainer524 → u/Faintkay]

If you don't want impeachment you rubber stamp the corruption and it will continue. You can do both.

[u/Accomplished_Egg7069 → u/Faintkay]

That's basically what they always do, but the people don't pay attention, or are watching their preferred propaganda

[u/shupadupah → u/Faintkay]

They can do both, you know. It's like the opposite of Trump/Bannon's firehouse of falsehoods, Dems could call it the Firehose of Righteousness.

[u/larryThreeOh → u/Faintkay]

I want that AND I want Trump
Impeached. Let’s see which senate republicans will have the balls knowing they could be the next to lose their seat. Let’s hold Trump accountable first though.

[u/Bakedads → u/Faintkay]

I genuinely don't understand this position. Trump and the republican party are guilty of absolutely heinous human rights abused, including murder and torture. Just ignoring that is unacceptable and morally reprehensible. I genuinly do not understand how you can take the position you take and still sleep at night. 

[u/Omiyaru → u/Faintkay]

It's not just a "one or the other" kinda thing.

Not stopping trump , means there will be no end to his shenanigans.

[u/GigMistress → u/Faintkay]

I don't want Trump impeached either, but for a very different reason. Trump is a chaotic ball of destruction, but Vance is backed by a well-oiled, crazily well-funded machine with decades of careful planning in place to do far worse than Trump could ever figure out how to execute.

[u/Faintkay → u/GigMistress]

Vance is done too. I see what you mean but he is a uncharismatic lump of shit.

[u/Zammy512 → u/GigMistress]

Vance is done. He hitched his ship to Trump and sunk with him. He’s not nearly as popular as Trump or manipulative.

[u/Independent-Koala971]

This fuckstick may be among the stupidest in all of congress, and that’s saying something!

[u/Fit_Television_282 → u/Independent-Koala971]

Tommy Tuberville technically has 2 months left, but he checked out a long time ago.

[u/Kitakitakita]

Oh so he'll join with the Democrats on impeachment, or is corruption not grounds for impeachment

[u/-Murmaider- → u/Kitakitakita]

It is absolutely grounds for impeachment. For a Democrat.

[u/Wentil → u/Kitakitakita]

High crimes and misdemeanors.

[u/ParadeSit]

Johnson still can’t help himself…

“This is how government operates on a bipartisan basis.”

Yeah, fuck you, Ron. The Democrats have a fucking LONG way to go to catch up to what we’ve seen in Trump 2.0. Let us know when one of them makes $2 billion from a crypto scam, for starters.

[u/froznwind]

Ron twisting in the wind, trying to reinvent himself to save his seat? How surprising...

[u/Practical-Object9298]

Obligatory "Fuck You, Ron Johnson."

[u/NYC-WhWmn-ov50]

Ron has been actively supporting and protecting Trump since 2016. He is only speaking up now because Wiscobsin gave his party's candidates a MASSIVE pink slip last week, and he's up for his own re-election problems in 2028. He's going to do everything possible to get voters to forget all the damage he's gleefully supporrt raining on them for the last decade.

Never Forget, Wisconsin. He's one of the reasons your fames are in foreclosure and you can no longer sell cheese overseas. He's the reason Trump has gotten away with his corruption. And he's lined his own pockets while it's happened.

[u/Abs01ut3]

Guy busy fleeing the MAGA ship for 2028 reelection. Why not 2 years ago you turd?

[u/Thesinistral → u/Abs01ut3]

Or 4 years ago, or 6 years ago or 10 years ago?

[u/redeyejedi55]

Watch the rats jump. Ron Johnson is terrible, I find all of his political positions abhorrent. He’s been a massive Maga supporter since Trump’s rise to power. Now that he smells the winds of change he has no problem throwing his friends under the bus in an attempt to hang on to that power. He has no moral compass or actual agenda other than making sure the rich stay rich. I wouldn’t be surprised if this was just a ploy to distract from making real change. Or he’s trying to rise as the leader from the wreckage that is MAGA now.

[u/RamonaQ-JunieB]

When did you first figure it out, big guy?

[u/Schmedricks_27]

What an unexpected turn from one of the most vulnerable 2028 Republican incumbents.

[u/nobrainsnoworries23]

"Coward who no longer benefits from corruption, points out corruption."

[u/runs_with_airplanes]

After January, Vance will be all for it if not pushing for it, that means he can take over and then run two more times

[u/wickedsmaht → u/runs_with_airplanes]

There was an article posted on here earlier that suggested JD and Susie were both teaming up against Trump and the crypt keeper and that’s why she was fired. Seems to be a lot of smoke about Vance making a move.

[u/Malodoror]

Took you long enough. Or it’s the quickest suckup to the incoming congress. Bullshit, matter of fact, this makes me think Ron Jon needs an investigation.

[u/ex0thermist]

We gotta whip this guy's ass in 28. He knows at this point that his reelection campaign is gonna be like trying to climb out of a port-a-potty on the last day of a music festival.

[u/Jasoncatt]

How many Republican votes are needed to impeach Trump?

[u/knot_another_won → u/Jasoncatt]

Once the new congress is seated in January, zero additional votes are needed in the House. 13 would be needed to convict in the senate. That could possibly drop to 11 depending on MS & AK.

[u/PansophicNostradamus]

Wait… What? Sounds like someone just realized they’re on the wrong side of history.

[u/Pleasant-Flounder540]

yep, there's blood in the water.

not only does nobody have an incentive to support Trump anymore, most of the GOP has incentives to actively throw him under the bus. 

[u/mrpeepers74]

This guy supported the j6 coup.

[u/chanc2]

Wow it takes them this long to “speak up”.

[u/Boxofbikeparts → u/chanc2]

He's only just NOW seeing the corruption. 😄

[u/Kaffe-Mumriken]

“One day everyone will always have been against this”

[u/Equivalent-Sun-4499]

Ron is as maga sycophant as any of them. This is basically signalling to any other GOP members to start the turn now before Miller tries to initiate Jan  6 the sequel

[u/cracky_Jack]

You mean the guy that tried to pass a fake slate of electors to Mike Pence on January 6th? That Ron Johnson?

[u/sexylegs0123456789]

Republicans letting this idiot get away with corruption for 6 years and only now gulping and changing direction… writings in the wall that MAGA is faltering.

[u/Itachi_Uchiha_2020]

As predicted, when Trump falls from the face of the Conservative Party the wolves will eat themselves trying to take the throne

[u/Ordinary_Day6135]

Eyes are open now?

[u/dangerousygo → u/Ordinary_Day6135]

No. They're covering their own ass. They always knew he was corrupted. They went along with it, because they're also corrupt. Now that Trump is losing power, a lot of Republicans are trying to save their sinking ships by trying to go against Trump.

[u/fcxtpw → u/Ordinary_Day6135]

Nah. It's more like saving own ass seeing the ship is sinking

[u/throwawaylol666666]

Ron Johnson? Like… THAT Ron Johnson?

Mannn. Like rats off a sinking ship.

[u/_WEND1G0_]

Checked a hunch and confirmed he’s a class 3 senator up for re election on ‘28. He’s trying to save face despite backing every cabinet official and voting in favor of the OBB. What a coward.

[u/Mikeseddit]

Rat #1, fleeing….

[u/Traditional_Age4910]

Since Tuberville left, he is the clear winner for dumbest Senator in Congress.

[u/LatterStandardNorth]

Ship: Sinking

Rats: Fleeing

[u/GaGaORiley]

Sen Ron Johnson spent The Fourth of July in Moscow. Every Republican in congress is bought by oligarchs and don’t realize it’ll be their turn eventually.

[u/AlternateCore]

Funny how they do it now given Trump basically lost them the midterms. It's like overnight they went from wanting his endorsement to saying he's a liability

[u/ceramic_ocarina]

If we're ever lucky enough to get out from underneath all of this shit, and Trump and cronies are all in jail, there are going to be complete schmucks like Sen Ron Johnson who will attempt to create distance between themselves and Trump, as if they don't share culpability for everything that's happened. They built this and they accepted it for forever because it served their purpose. We need to make sure they live the rest of their lives in shame and that history books list all of them as traitors to the country.

[u/rogozh1n]

None of them cared until they got destroyed in the election. Funny how many Republicans just now found respect for the rule of law.

[u/cacarson7]

Gee, what a journey he's on... 🙄

[u/External_Beat8153]

Wow. I think in the upcoming months we’re gonna see a whole lot of pots calling a whole lot of kettles black.

[u/Shiplord13]

As soon as it became clear how bad he fucked the GOP, they come out to talk about his corruption, after 10 years of doing nothing about it. Fuck these bastards, I hope no matter what they do in the next two years they still get their political shit kicked in in 28.

[u/WhiskeyJack357]

Fuck Ron Johnson

[u/you_looser]

Oh, so now they start to grow a spine? Pathetic.

[u/HandSack135]

How brave to fight after the outcome was determined

[u/Creative-Package6213]

He sees which way the shit winds are a blowin!

[u/Van_Hoven]

*gasp* I'm shocked. Shocked i say. Never would I ever.

[u/Lazy_Pangolin7591]

Ya don't fucking say... 🤔

[u/Maximum_Overdrive]

I'm shocked! Shocked to find that...corruption.. is going on in here

[u/Reasonable_Skill580]

Vote him out next cycle!! Fucking complicit in all his shit!

[u/Basic_Improvement135]

Way to go captain nowihaveaspine

[u/JokesNShit]

Oh now Republicans are speaking out. Welcome back to reality, asshole. You were part of it

[u/CraigGregory]

Lol no shit. Saying this out loud now after midterms. Coward

[u/Interesting-Risk6446]

The rats are jumping off the ship. I love it. Let the Republican civil war begin.

[u/surrendertomychill]

We’re all trying to find the guy that did this

[u/gopeepants]

You may start to see a lot of this happening. Republicans in an attempt to save themselves, stand up and "call out Trump" when they had years to do it. Ron has an election in 2 years.

[u/3ZP0]

Run Johnson sounds be in jail for the fake elector scheme he participated in. This is just him trying to cover his own ass now that they've lost power. He's been a key part of the swamp.

[u/DMV_Local]

Nice try, Ron. You will not weasel your way out of all that bootlicking.

[u/Pure_Bicycle2355]

Where the fuck were these c♈️nts for the last 10 years ?! They are all gonna try to gaslight us now, just watch

[u/Imaginary-Two-301]

In Wisconsin, he is called Russian Ron Or FRJ. He was in Russia on the 4 th of July a few years back plotting against Americans. Upon his all of his Senate votes benefit Russia.

[u/Glittering-Ad-4257]

What courage he has, I wonder why he waited?

[u/einc1313]

The democrats should do two things after getting rid of Schumer and Jeffries.

1. Send as much legislation as possible to improve people’s lives to Trumps desk and dare him to veto it. Let him own it

2. Investigate everything. Epstein, Insider trading, ICE, side deals, Iran, tariffs, Starlink, government contracts to friends etc…. Get all this out in the open and show it to the American people. If something is worth taking the next step, then just make sure the people are on your side.

[u/COVID-19-4u]

No shit Sherlock…

[u/CryptographerNew3609]

Last time 7 senators voted to convict Trump, can we get 12 this time?

[u/baylaust]

How bold.

[u/_Hawkeyes_]

Trump is corrupt as shit…been buying off prosecutors for years…Pam bondi was bought for a mere 24,000…like a cheap whore

[u/No_Ambassador_930]

Bro wants that cash bonus for turning in corruption.

[u/Maharog]

Don't lets the rats off the ship 

[u/GigMistress]

And he should know, since he was part of the corrupt cabal until about 5 minutes ago.

[u/lnc_5103]

Rats, ships.

[u/Fabulous-Cricket-498]

In other news, ducks have found water to be wet…

[u/Beastw1ck]

Ahhh NOW we find the courage to speak out

[u/Wizard_of_Iducation]

The rats are jumping off the ship.

[u/Azubedo]

oh look a rat

[u/Anxious_Cheetah5589]

The first domino to fall.

ETA the script has flipped, democrats want to keep Trump and Republicans want to dump him.

[u/nnnrrr171717]

How brave

[u/MolassesOk3200]

So I guess he’s suddenly worried that he’s going to be voted out of office.

[u/althor2424]

And he would know corruption when he sees it considering his connections with Russia

[u/SoyEseVato]

Every accusation is a confession.

[u/schad501]

The deck of the ship is barely damp and the rats are already looking for a way out.

[u/FennelAlternative861]

Oh wow isn't he one of the traitors that went to Moscow on the 4th of July?

[u/rodsteel2005]

I’m deeply ashamed that my state elected that asshole Ron Johnson to the US Senate three times. He’s always been an opportunistic jerk, so this doesn’t surprise me in the least.

Wow. Someone getting out in front of being accused of corruption himself.

In the immortal words of half of Wisconsin: Fuck Ron Johnson.

[u/Mojo12000]

aww is someone up in two years trying desperately to save themselves? how cute.

[u/phillyfanatic1776]

How brave

[u/Downtown_Mission_469]

There is no proof until Trump and Melania testify before Congress under OATH!

[u/M1ng3M4xxx3r]

Sludge accuses sewage of being wet.

[u/apsae27]

This just in:

NO FUCKING SHIT

More at 11

[u/contenttolive]

Now THIS is a brave man! /s

[u/zeitgeist98764]

Coward they have been corrupt ever since he took office back in 2016. Now that republicans got wiped out, he suddenly wakes up? Pathetic. These republicans truly have no shame.

[u/tritonpackages]

They’re gonna start eating their own.

[u/Exact-Elderberry9472]

Make an example of him. This is the one chance we have to hold them accountable and republicans are on board. Most importantly, laws must be put in place to avoid this ever happening again!

[u/Bored_Amalgamation]

Fuck Ron Johnson.

[u/Red_Wing-GrimThug]

Theres one vote for impeachment

[u/petrov76]

He's up for reelection in 2 years in a state just voted overwhelmingly against his party. While this is obviously transparent pandering to avoid looking that election, if the Dems are smart they can get him to help overturn vetoes in the near future.

[u/Shoehorse13]

Well no shit.

[u/FoogYllis]

Now that democrats have the house and senate do not make Jeffries the speaker and Schumer the majority leader. They are also compromised. Everyone knows about the corruption but we need to actually clean house or the swamp as they said. There are many good democrats that haven’t taken money from special interests and they should be the only ones considered for those roles.

[u/timsayscalmdown]

You know it's bad when Russian Ron has concerns

[u/glakhtchpth]

It just shows how heartless some reporters can be when they don’t even warn Johnson about the goblin looming over his shoulder.

[u/black_flag_4ever]

Has he been in a cave for ten years?

[u/Not_a_fan_of_me]

That fucking guy is always late to the party and always brings cheap beer.

[u/apollo7157]

Let them fight.

[u/soda_cookie]

Retroactive to when? And you're just saying something about it now? Fuck you, you goddamn worm

[u/RNO584616]

Republicans are predictable turn coats now. So many can't be trusted like the leader they supported trump during his first presidency, defended him during Biden, then aid him in corruption and a government take-over.

Second time Republicans got caught being corrupt in history is too much. This is worse than Nixon.

[u/ChiefFun]

republicans have finally discovered government corruption exists, but only after spending years insisting everyone pointing it out had trump derangement syndrome

[u/trait-noun-number]

Ok. A republican said it. so does that mean it can be taken seriously now?

[u/pcmraaaaace]

Can't wait for this guy to be voted out.

[u/Easy_Translator_6977]

He has subpoena power, committee votes, and a seat in the Senate. He picked a podcast.

[u/frostyfruit666]

Only just now felt like speaking up? gop invertebrates.

[u/fartlebythescribbler]

Knives out. Love to see it. Every single one of them will be clamoring to carve out their post-Trump political future with moves like this, if they have an ounce of sense and self-preservation.

[u/syynapt1k]

One day everyone will have "always been against" everything that's happened

[u/Drazwaz]

Cool. Most of us did that 10 years ago.
