Ron Johnson grinds Senate to halt, irritating many

Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) is grinding the gears of the Senate to a halt as it seeks to move forward with President Biden’s $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief bill.

It is just the latest step by Johnson, who is up for reelection in a state narrowly won by Biden, to burnish his Trump credentials, whether that’s by repeating unfounded theories about the Jan. 6 attack or becoming the face of GOP opposition to the coronavirus bill that is broadly popular even among Republicans.

To be fair to Johnson, almost every senator gets a D or F. Johnson is the 12th best senator, as ranked by liberty score, and still gets a D.

the coronavirus bill that is broadly popular even among Republicans.

Virtually none of that bill has anything to do with coronavirus and it would not be "broadly popular" among anyone if the press would report what was in it.

According to Breitbart, the dems aren’t allowing any language in the bill that would keep money from going to the abortion industry. In other words the dems are bailing the babykillers out.

Do you think the reading will help or hurt Sen. Johnson’s 2022 campaign? I hope it will help him, but our state might have too many liberals.

Just remember, they like to believe that writing like this is still “journalism.”

Rewriting these hacks' atrocious article openers is becoming a tad tedious, but here we go:

"Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) is slowing the Democrats' pushing the Senate to pass Pretendesident Biden’s masters' $1.9 trillion "COVID-19" constituent-reward bill. It is just the latest step by Johnson, who is up for reelection in a state narrowly stolen in the fraud, to burnish his Trump loyalty, whether that’s by repeating media-denied truths about the Jan. 6 attack or becoming the face of GOP opposition to the porkfest that is broadly popular among RINOs."

So do I. It is a stain on our nation's soul, far greater than the stain of slavery.

This should be made standard practice for all legislation.

The so-called journalist calling something an “unfounded theory” after spending 5 years propagating the Russia hoax, is a laugh riot. Also, Republicans aren’t happy with Johnson delaying the bill because they want to lose quickly.
