Ron Johnson suggests CARES Act may be funding Kenosha instigators

[Poiuyt]

U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson in a recent interview said those responsible for violence and destruction in Kenosha may be using pandemic unemployment benefits or are being funded in other ways to travel around the country to create havoc.

Johnson, chairman of the Senate Committee on Homeland Security & Governmental Affairs, said groups that set fire to buildings and looted in Kenosha are likely part of a coordinated effort.

"They picked up stakes and probably headed out to D.C. to harass the people who went to President Trump's acceptance speech including people like Sen. Rand Paul," Johnson said of violent and destructive protesters after more National Guard troops were deployed to the area. "This is an outside insurgency."

Trump isn't the only one losing his mind.

1. I guess he missed the part where Cares ended...I sincerely hope he is tossed out of office next time

[Poiuyt]

9. I don't think he's running for reelection

His departure can't come soon enough

[JT45242]

2. Not out of his mind -- Following Putin's orders

This jerk form Wisconsin is one of the clearly owned and operated by Russian intelligence (R)s in the Senate.

He has consistently spewed forth Russian propaganda for years.

3. Johnson lost his when he went to Russia for the Fourth of July.

Sounds like it’s not coming back.

4. Is he referring to the Blue Meanies (Beatles reference) or the Proud Boys?

Those are the instigators, looters and arsonists. Remember Minneapolis?

10. Are You Bluish?

I most definately am.

I often wonder what John Lennon, would have to say about Bush's War in Iraq, The Obama Years and now, Trump.
I suspect it would be some great 'toungue in cheek' sarcasm, as which Lennon was a master.

Yellow Submarine was a wonderful film.

11. There would at least be a rewrite of Gimme Some Truth.

I can also see an album just about Iraq, just as Neil Young did.

Too bad some of our most patriotic folks come from other countries. Irving Berlin comes to mind now.

5. can't wait to see this guy gone, hopefully to prison

[Roland99]

6. he's close...but it's likely Russian money funding the white supremacists acting as the instigators

[Beaverhausen]

7. right. Aren't the ones "traveling the country wrecking havoc" the right wingers?

Pretty sure the BLM protesters are local.

[duforsure]

8. Sounds like to me ....

Again we have republicans in Congress promoting russian generated propaganda for putin. Disinformation. Like trump is doing too.

[JI7]

12. I wonder if Russia has something on him . Remember that Russia DID hack into Republican Orgs Also

they just didn't release it like they did with the Democrats.
