Sen. Ron Johnson Is Quite Pleased Roy Moore Lost

Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) did not mince words when asked to comment on Tuesday night's election results in Alabama. When asked what he believed the "message" from last night was, Johnson said that "Alabamians didn't want somebody who dated 14-year-old girls." 

He then said that Steve Bannon should learn that the GOP needs better candidates in order to win Senate races before going into an office away from the camera. 

NBC News tweeted a video of the exchange. 

Watch the video here:

Well, golly. Tell us how you really feel, Johnson, don't hold back!

Johnson has been critical of Roy Moore after nine women came forward to say he behaved inappropriately towards them. In November, Johnson said the allegations were disqualifying and said that if he were elected, he doubted that the Senate would actually seat him. He also said that if he were in Moore's shoes, he would have resigned as a candidate. 

Moore was defeated by Democrat Doug Jones by a slim margin. He has refused to concede the race.

Moore did not deserve any of it.

How about I pay 13 women to say you harassed or raped them? Would that also be appropriate to you?

Do you realize that if we lose the House and the Senate in 2018 the rats in the House will be able to impeach President Trump and the senate will remove him from office?

I didn't think so.

Corker, who is “retiring” after this term, also said he was really happy Moore lost.

Where the heck did that come from? And why was it aimed at me? I lambasted this idiot Senator Johnson for celebrating a GOP loss (he views it as a victory)... he is not a Republican...at least not according to the GOP’s formal platform. And to celebrate the loss of the Senate seat as a victory (giving the Democrats one step closer to taking back the majority)... he is flat wrong.

But your accusation pointing at me was the truly misguided one. So snarky “I didn’t think so” was immature and misguided (trying to give you the benefit of the doubt).

Or maybe you accidentally responded to the wrong post?

Who cares what that RINO Corker says. He can’t leave soon enough for me, as he has never done anything for my area in Tennessee even though my city is the fifth largest city in TN. It’s just like we don’t exist.

Oh believe me, I agree with you. I think Corker’s a big piece of junk and will be glad he’s gone. Hopefully Bredesen doesn’t win that seat.

Johnson was against the tax bill because of the 30% pass-through rate abomination. He managed to get it knocked down to 23%, IIRC.

Does that mean you are going to vote for some third party candidates who have absolutely no chance whatsoever? You might as well stay home and not bother voting at all.

I've been voting Republican since Reagan. Do the math, that's kicking 40 years. We Cons haven't gained one inch of ground. It's all a ruse. Why should this Vet vote for another lying, thieving, seditious, treasonous, malcontent member of the biggest welfare cheats this Country has ever produced, esp. since I swore a blood oath to protect this Country from that very thing? Voting is...unproductive. I feel treasonous by doing such. I guess I'll just have to wait for the rest of y'all to finally catch up. Waiting...

What difference would it make? Swamp RINO or democrat? They both hate Trump but at least Democrats do something other than sit on their asses
