When it comes to spouting conspiracy theories, few can match Wisconsin GOP Senator Ron Johnson. Whether it's claiming the FBI having advanced knowledge of the events of January 6th, pushing Ivermectin as a cure for COVID-19 and giving credence to white replacement theory, Johnson never met a conspiracy theory he wasn't willing to promote.
At least in public that is.
When Johnson was approached by someone who he thought was a Trump supporter who claimed that Joe Biden didn't win the election, Johnson poured cold water on the claim and said there was nothing "skewed" about the results in Wisconsin and that Donald Trump had underperformed on the ballot compared to other Republicans.
As it turns out the "Trump supporter" was a liberal activist who secretly recorded their conversation and put it online. Now Johnson is on the defensive with MAGA World. I say let him explain himself.
The fact is Ron Johnson knows he's lying whether it's about January 6th, Ivermectin, white replacement theory and his support for an audit of the 2020 election in Wisconsin. But Trump supporters believe his lies and Johnson knows this all too well and that's what makes the lie even worse. Perhaps Johnson thought he was in a one on one situation and was safe to tell who he thought to be a Trump supporter the actual truth.
Well, now Johnson is on the defensive with MAGA World. I say let him explain himself. Of course, now Trump supporters think Johnson is lying to them and is a traitor. The monsters which Johnson unleashed now want his blood.
In which case, Johnson will now become even more hyper loyal to Trump. Other Republicans, seeing what is now happening to Johnson, will make sure never to deviate from Trumpthink - even when they think they are in one on one conversation. Or perhaps even when they are alone.
