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.”

Note just McConnell gone but replaced w a conservative!!
These guys are convinced we are so stupid that we believe everything they say. Like we just ignored everything we have seen over the last 5 years, culminating in the most corrupt and non-transparent election in history. These SOBs are no good.
Can someone in his state tell him on behalf of a lot of conservatives that the Senate will not get any money until McConnell is removed as leader.
I will be contacting my two and telling them the same.
Time for new leadership.
Shake in you boots everyone.
McConnell, Atop a Fractious Party, Is Open to Jumping Into Primary Races
Real headline from the WSJ.
You're going to trash Johnson, the one senator who criticizes Mitch and defends us?
C'mon man!
Here’s a novel idea, vote the SOB out of leadership or watch us all stay home next election.
>>>Not one vote nor one penny until Mitch is gone.<<<
What? Don’t you mean Mitch AND at least seven traitorous so-called GOP senators?
Haha. And I heard they have a petition signed by more than half of republican senators to remove the turtle from his leadership position. Of course the vote will be confidential so they call all say, “I voted to remove him.” This is getting as old as, “keep your power dry...”
* insert B or M as desired
China Mitch does not reflect 75,000,000 voters.
What the Heck is that pic about? He looks like somebody nearly beat him to death...……
He’s not a king and he’s not god. You can fire him any time you want. Do it.
************
Republican don’t “do things”. They just talk a lot. Especially before elections when they’re trolling for votes.
McConnell, Cheney, McCarthy, and Thune need to go.
***********
They can stay on the sinking ship for all I care. We’re the ones who need to go — to a new party that won’t stab us in the back anymore.
Until McConnell is booted..never again. They can all go to hell
************
McConnell will stick around. Just like Paul Ryan.
Republicans are too weak and timid to remove bad leaders. Well...that and they don’t care about us either.
You’re going to trash Johnson, the one senator who criticizes Mitch and defends us?
C’mon man!
It’s just not good enough. He needs to go to the floor of the Senate and defend us.
DJT wins again!
Right now the only thing I hate worse than a Democrat is a Republican.
Ron Johnson, thank you, however fire Mitchell McConnell. Prove that you are for us!! Thank you...
