John: The New York Times is reporting that Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson has replaced Trump as “the Republican Party's foremost amplifier of conspiracy theories and disinformation.” So we're going to kick him out of the Senate.
Johnson, a chairman of the Senate Homeland Security Committee, has mounted a full-blown effort to dismiss the Capitol riot on January 6 as “jovial” and “festive,” claiming that Trump supporters weren't even there. In fact, Johnson brazenly told reporters he would have been more afraid of the rioters who stormed the Capitol building if they had been Black Lives Matter supporters.
We're not surprised by these comments, John. This is coming from the same man who promoted discredited COVID-19 treatments, toted anti-vaxxer conspiracy theories, and believes climate change is a hoax.
You and the hundreds of supporters who stepped up last week made it clear we should prioritize getting rid of Ron Johnson and Trumpism — and we've listened. That's why we've set an ambitious goal to raise $6,000 in the next 24 hours to launch our Defeat Ron Johnson Fund and finally get this conspiracy theorist out of Washington.
We know we can win this seat, John:
- Johnson is running in Wisconsin, a battleground state Biden won in 2020.
- Senator Tammy Baldwin, the first queer woman ever elected to the Senate, cruised through re-election in Wisconsin in 2018 by about 11 points.
- And according to POLITICO, Johnson only clung to his seat in 2016 because Republicans nationwide rushed millions into his campaign at the last minute.
Now is our chance to protect and expand our razor-thin Senate majority. We have to vote out this dangerous, lying Senator — but we can't do this without you.
