Embattled U.S. Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI), a top Trump supporter, admitted that he felt safe during the January 6 insurrection because he trusted the MAGA crowd, thousands of whom were breaking not only the law but government property and causing physical harm.
But he also admits that if those rioters had been Black Lives Matter protestors he would not have felt safe he would he felt "concerned."
His remarks are causing anger and accusations of racism.

OK, then?
Or is it just the dumb-fucks that you feed shit and think they will give a shit about you in their mayhem?
Prematurely senile?
Crazy?
Just plain stupid?
Or all three?
