“This wasn’t what this interview was going to be about,” a flustered Ron Johnson said to CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins.
When asked Monday about Republicans in Wisconsin having falsely claimed to be electors for Donald Trump in the 2020 election, Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) claimed that Democrats have done the same “repeatedly in all kinds of different states”—yet failed to provide even one example, telling CNN’s Kaitlan Collins merely to “check the books.”
On The Source, Collins mentioned how 10 Republicans in Johnson’s state settled a lawsuit last week that was brought by Wisconsin’s legitimate electors, who had sought $200,000 from each elector. Though no fine was handed down, each elector admitted that Joe Biden won the election and agreed to not be an elector in 2024 or any election in which Donald Trump was a candidate. They also agreed that by posing as electors, they were “part of an attempt to improperly overturn” the election results.
That’s essentially all he says, just with lots more filler words.
I love firing back with two examples of “Republicans did it, did it worse, and are still doing it” for every example a MAGAt pushes.
Oh, you have 3 articles about a trans person shooting someone? Here’s 47 of a republican doing the same just because the other person was [insert minority or political view here].
Got one of a “librul” stealing funds? Oh boy you might want to sit because we are gonna be here awhile.
Got a tale of THOSE DEMON-RATS hiding someone’s sexual impropriety? Well damn. I think it’s easier to list the Republicans not doing that.
Reverse cargo cult.
