Supporter,

Sen. Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, the extreme far-right Trump lackey that he
is, is pushing the unfounded claim that "fake Trump protesters" and "agent
provocateurs" were the ones really responsible for the January 6 siege of
the U.S. Capitol – despite more than 200 mostly self-identified Trump
supporters already facing federal charges for the insurrection.

Have right-wing lawmakers like Johnson learned nothing about the dangers
of trafficking in such lies and disinformation?? Or do they just not care?

With your help, we’re going to hold Johnson accountable. His Senate seat
is ripe to be flipped from red to blue next year and he’s at the very top
of our target list.

Johnson’s fellow Republican, Rep. Adam Kinzinger of Illinois, said, “It’s
disgraceful for a sitting Senator to spread disinformation so blatantly …
It’s a disservice to the people he serves to continue lying to them like
this. It’s dangerous and it must stop.”

Quoting an article published on a far-right extremist website, Johnson
falsely claimed the “great majority” of protesters had a “jovial,
friendly, earnest demeanor” and the violence was instigated and led by
anti-Trump infiltrators.

Rep. Mark Pocan, also of Wisconsin, said Johnson was “a small step away
from blaming Bigfoot [and] the Loch Ness Monster.”

And, as Wisconsin’s Lieutenant Governor – and an important member of
People For’s Young Elected Officials Network – Mandela Barnes pointed out,
that this reckless extremism is nothing new for Johnson:

“Expect the expected,” Barnes tweeted, “Same man who fear mongers with
unsubstantiated immigration claims, suggests that health care, food, and
shelter are privileges, and continues to dismiss the virus. This is who we
know.”

Let’s do what it takes to kick Ron Johnson out of the Senate and flip his
seat!
