Senator Ron Johnson (Q-Moscow) was busy spreading the bovine manure extra thick at the Wisconsin Republican state convention this past weekend. But he went overboard with the bullshit when he started talking about racism:
The Oshkosh Republican argued those on the far left are driving the narrative that Republicans hate Dems on principal, adding it’s just not true. He also disputed claims on the left the GOP is racist.
“All these groups on the radical left are basically accusing Republicans, conservatives of hating them, and it’s just not true,” he said. “We’re not racist, we embrace Martin Luther King’s vision for this country.”
Johnson added Dems are more focused on treating people differently based on race, but Republicans “embrace judging people by the content of their character, not the color of their skin.”
The Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee member also blasted Dems for arguing white supremacy is the greatest national threat, adding he’s also opposed to white supremacy.
“We’re opposed to it, but it’s not even close to the greatest threat that faces this nation,” he said.
Setting aside the fact that if RoJo really believed the malarkey he was spewing, he'd being jumping up and down screaming racism and pointing at the Democrats.
But maybe, just maybe, he still has enough mental acuity to realize that someone might still have the receipts, like this:
"I knew those were people who love this country, that truly respect law enforcement, would never do anything to break the law, so I wasn't concerned," Johnson said about the predominantly white crowd that marched to the U.S. Capitol to overturn a presidential election and triggered an assault that left five people dead, 140 police officers injured and windows smashed.
"Now, had the tables been turned, and Joe — this is going to get me in trouble — had the tables been turned and President Trump won the election and tens of thousands of Black Lives Matter and antifa, I might have been a little concerned," Johnson said during an interview with syndicated radio show host Joe "Pags" Pagliarulo.
Yeah, so a bunch of good old white boys carrying confederate flags into the Capitol building is not a problem for RoJo. But if they were a few Black people marching on the steps, by God, there better be a platoon or five of US Marines there ready to defend him!
But it's the left that is supposed to be racist? Um, yeah, but no. Go hang up your robe and hood, RoJo, and toddle off to the old fascists' home, would ya already?
