In an item I didn’t get around to covering over the weekend due to the need to recover from the Covid-19<\/strong> jab, Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) takes a different tact in his quest for the title Clown of the Senate<\/em> – frantic fantasies concerning the Insurrection of January 6th:<\/p>\n

\n

Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wisc., described the pro-Trump rioters who stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6 as people who \u201ctruly respect law enforcement\u201d and \u201cloved this country\u201d in a radio interview Friday and expressed worry if the mob had been Black Lives Matter protesters or Antifa members.<\/p>\n

Johnson said he “never felt threatened” as thousands of rioters broke through barricades, forcing Congress to evacuate parts of the building and\u00a0abruptly pause a ceremonial event<\/a>\u00a0affirming that President-elect Joe Biden won the November election. In one dramatic moment, police officers drew guns as rioters tried to break into the House chamber. The day\u00a0left several dead<\/a>, including a police officer, and more than 100 other officers injured. [NBC News<\/strong><\/a>]<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

While Johnson may have been honest in suggesting he was not alarmed at the sacking of the Capitol – more fool him – the suggestion that the mob was respectful in the face of video evidence of the murder of one officer and the desecration of the Capitol in the form of defecation simply renders Johnson’s comments ludicrous. Shitting in someone’s office cannot be twisted into the belief that the mob greatly loves their country.<\/p>\n

Good luck, Senator, on your quest for the title.<\/p>\n

Incidentally, the Senator will be up for reelection in 2022, and his intentions are not yet known. With five GOP<\/strong><\/em> Senators planning to retire in 2022, no doubt there’ll be pressure on him from the RNC<\/strong><\/em> and quite probably former President Trump to run for reelection.<\/p>\n

Don’t do it, Senator! You don’t want to reach the depths of notoriety currently inhabited by the late Senator McCarthy<\/a> (R-WI)!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
