Johnson Desperately Tries To Paint BLM As Violent In Fictitious Scenario | Talking Points Memo

Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) said in a recent interview that he “wasn’t concerned” about what ultimately amounted to a deadly attack on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 by a pro-Trump mob led by far-right violent extremists, but would have been concerned had those storming the Capitol been affiliated with a movement for racial justice known as Black Lives Matter.

You’d have to be a real idiot to believe anything that oozes from this guy’s mouth. I can see through him like he’s made of water.

”I knew those were people that love this country, that truly respect law enforcement, would never do anything to break the law…”

”Other than overthrow the government, murder police officers, and try to hang the Vice President."

If you dare say that you have to put sugar on top by saying something extra-scurrilous about the first wingnut bugaboo you can think of. He might have made it about “cancel culture” but he’s kind of a slow learner.

Yes, but does Wisconsin know they can do better? The first step in fixing a problem is acknowledging you have a problem.
