Ron Johnson privately 'unnerved' by new Dem attacks (gag in mouth alert)
Raw Story (via MSN) ^ | August 17 2022 | Matthew Chapman

On Wednesday, NBC News reported that Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) is privately flustered and worried about the effectiveness of Democratic attacks on him as a wealthy elitist who uses his political office to enrich himself.

This comes as Democratic Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes mounts a campaign to unseat him in the midterms — and as the most recent poll from Marquette University shows Barnes leading by 7 points with likely voters.

I've been noticing that this "Raw Story" site has been appearing on the MSN feed. Is this another Soros financed site like Media Matters?

Remember the national poll that the Sunday before the 2020 election said Biden was ahead of Trump in Wisconsin by 19 points? Biden ended up stealing it by a half point.

Corrupt Democrat scum will steal the Senate, pack the Supreme Court, and put Trump in prison.

And cowardly Republican politicians will say nothing.

We should all be “unnerved.” The Big Guns are out for Johnson, armed with $$$$$$$$$$$$. It’s sickening.

The Democrats worked with Assistant Democrats of the Paul Ryan strain to Get Out The Cheat in the Milwaukee ring counties, which are Republican strongholds.

It shows up in the numbers versus Obama's record 2008 turnouts in Wisconsin.

This was in conjunction with all the other cheating going on - the illegal absentee voting, the drop boxes, the nursing homes, the Green Bay election offices, the Madison vote harvesting operation...

Make is sound like you’re against Social Security, Medicare, caps on prescription drug prices, alternate slate of electoral voters, and God knows other issues and Johnson wonders why the Democrats are attacking him?

Ron Johnson had chair of a committee that could’ve drilled down on the FBI/DOJ/DNC conspiracy to hound Trump. He would not use that powerful position to help our cause. He kept deferring to “other ongoing investigations”. Same as graham w/ his committee.

If he’d been more than just a limp=along talking head on the news shows, maybe he’d have less trouble holding serve in Nov.

"as a wealthy elitist who uses his political office to enrich himself."

You can say the same thing about most if not all Democrats. They can never accuse Trump of that, however, which is why they must resort to RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA.

People have wised up to the 100% voting by the senile in WI nursing homes. They will need to find another way to cheat in the midterms.

The response to this is so easy. “I was rich before I went into politics, and am still rich. How do you explain folks that were poor before going in to politics and are now rich? Where did they get their money from?”
