Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) said on WISN’s “The Jay Weber Show” that Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell’s (R-KY) speech saying former President Donald Trump was responsible for the deadly riot at the U.S. Capitol dose not reflect the majority of Republican lawmakers.
The Johnson interview starts at the 53:00 timestamp.
Johnson said, “You got Leader McConnell voting not guilty, not to convict but then just providing a scathing speech on the floor of the Senate that does not reflect, I think, the majority of our conference. I haven’t done a whip check to find out what exactly how everybody thinks but you kinda put two and two together by their votes. So you’ve got our leader out there really representing himself and that is his right to do. But at the same time, he has to realize as our leader, what he says reflects on us. I didn’t particularly like it.”
He added, “We can’t afford to lose in 2022. We have to unity our party, our movement. And their is certainly elements of the Republican Party that never liked Trump and really thinks this is a great opportunity to purge the party of Trump. But as I have been advising my colleagues the group of people who have been supporting Trump, the hundreds of thousands of people that attend those Trump rallies those are people that love this country, that would never have done what happened on January 6 which is why I was not concerned. That is a group of people that love freedom. That is a group of people we need to unity and keep on our side.”

Well have a vote and dump the turtle....
GOP is dead with there leadership at the federal level..
Funny how they are all tiptoeing through the political graveyard each trying to save his own ass.
Time for a new leader then.
Prove that you are serious Senator. Replace your leader. He’s not a king and he’s not god. You can fire him any time you want. Do it.
Good thing he waited a few days to give us this limp stuff on some radio show. Brave.
Time to change leaders so you don’t have to keep making excuses for Mitch the crooked goofball.
Not one vote nor one penny until Mitch is gone.
Then vote in a new leader.
Then grow a pair and fire his sorry a**.
Does anyone ever proofread? I don’t know if it was the writer or Ron Johnson but, between incorrect word usage and the wrong “their”, it is difficult to take it seriously.
I post this realizing I am probably posting some sort of error, as well. lol But, I am not a blogger or news organization.

McConnell, Cheney, McCarthy, and Thune need to go.
GOP Leaders whom Targeted Trump.
Notice, too, their boy, Joe, gets a free pass. Happy as pigs in shtt.

“....We can’t afford to lose in 2022...”
Ditch will continue to be in the minority in 2022. He sealed his fate the other day.
Remove him Senator
The best way to deal with this is to eliminate Murkowski and Cheney in their primaries next year. Failing that, Patriots get the rare dispensation for voting for the Democrat in the fall. Neither is them cost us much. Literally I can’t remember the least meaningful vote that we ever got from either of them. They need to learn that we can cast unpopular votes too.
You do that Whip check, Ron. Let me know how it turns out. I need to know. If the Senate GOP, in fact, supports Trump, you can let me know with a vote to replace McConnell as minority leader.
Until McConnell is booted..never again. They can all go to hell
The herd is spooked because they sense the danger.
“Ron Johnson on McConnell’s Anti-Trump Speech: Our Leader ‘Does Not Reflect’ Our Conference”
Hold a vote and ditch the douche.
