Ron Johnson?

[imanamerican63]

Says that the January 6th riot “was mostly a peaceful protest”?

He is right about that statement! It was peaceful before it started and after it was over! The fact that he doesn’t see what transpired is ludicrous and inaccurate to say the least. If it was a “peaceful protest”? No one would have died. No one would have been arrested. No one would have stormed the Capital building. No one would have been chanting “hang Mike Pence & Nancy Pelosi”. No one would have been barricaded in their offices. And no one would have have listened to Trump when he screamed “take back the White House”!

Just another GOPer mouth piece looking to make the news!

1. How many police officers are generally murdered at a peaceful protest?

Just wondering how many police officers are murdered by peaceful protestors?

Can you answer that Johnson?

[Buns_of_Fire]

2. He got the same memo they all did: Play it down. 2022 is coming.

And the more people see the "visitors" carrying "Trump" flags while dressed up like a SWAT team member and violently engaging with Capitol Police, the more they start to make connections.

3. The tourists presented no threat

[newdayneeded]

4. Play

That evening of the play that Lincoln went to was nice....except for where he got shot...other than that, really nice!

So embarrassing knowing this guy is my senator.

5. He's just repeating what his puppetmaster, Vlad, tells him to say.

The Cult will buy it, but the rest of us believe our own eyes, and what they saw that day.

[Traildogbob]

12. When the special committee

Starts the investigation into the traitorous insurrection, Maybe go back to 2018 July 4th and see what the direct orders from Vlad to RoJo and the other dozen that went to Moscow.
Every time he opens his ignorant mouth, it should be answering to that question.

[DENVERPOPS]

20. Proof that Putin

is still running things and that he has the goods on a ton of Republican Politicians as well as Trump.

[oasis]

6. What a waste of a U.S. Senate seat.

[calimary]

22. And I'm back to the same question:

What does that say about the folks-back-home who somehow saw fit to vote him into office? To represent THEM!?!

[dragonlady]

29. It's more a question of who didn't see fit to vote that year

They didn't help Hillary Clinton either. I think many of them learned a sad lesson.

[Blue Owl]

7. Get a brain, MoRan Johnson

[barbtries]

8. if the republican trumpster fascists get their way,

history will show that the insurrectionists of 06Jan2021 were as heroic as Paul Revere or Washington crossing the Delaware.

it's propaganda. Lies.

i am losing hope that the US will be able to stand up against it to be honest. there should be a difference between free speech and free propaganda. or we'll never be united again. we will not achieve a time again where reality is the same for us all.

9. JFK's motorcade through Dallas was mostly an uneventful ride

Focusing on one negative incident is disproportionate to the overwhelming number of people who came out to see the president and have a good time.

[johnthewoodworker]

10. As a thinking resident of Wisconsin, I refer to Ron Johnson as moRon Johnson. He doesn't think.

[mahina]

13. That's mine now

I’m stealing that, thank you very much

[SeattleVet]

11. "Well, other than *that*, Mrs. Lincoln, how did you enjoy the play?"

[monkeyman1]

14. just another Russian asset !!

[spooky3]

15. How many hours and $ were spent cleaning up poop, broken glass, etc.? Nt

[niyad]

17. Over 30 million dollars. No idea how many hours.

[spooky3]

19. Thanks. I meant it as another response like those in the OP,

to Republicans who claim it was just another tourist day, etc.

I just saw this: https://www.democraticunderground.com/100215449915

[niyad]

21. Thank you. Had not seen that one.

[OMGWTF]

16. You know how we have absolute proof that Traitor Tot was in charge of the 1/6/21 insurrection?

They all went home when he told them to.

[intheflow]

28. Also, he wasn't whisked away to a secure location.

If he didn’t know what he was stirring up, he would have scurried like a rat away from DC.

[andym]

18. He and many of the GOP are habitual gaslighters

They will help destroy the US as we know it with their lying self-serving behavior.

[Skittles]

23. their "protest" was based on a lie, pushed by Donald Fucking Trump

it makes me cringe when anyone compares it to BLM

[Moostache]

24. So I take it Ron won't be offended when I host a "mostly peaceful protest" at his house? (n/t)

[Jon King]

25. Repugs truly hate America

They are the greatest threat to the country. We are trying to compete with China, educate kids for the future, save the planet from climate change, work on the issues of slowing population and the economy, fix health care, fix infrastructure.

And they do nothing but advance nonsense. No other answer but they are paid by Russia and China to harm America. Nothing else makes sense.

[DFW]

26. If someone were making an equally "peaceful" protest at his private house

He'd call the cops, the National Guard, and be firing out of his hiding place with all the ten or twenty guns he's keeping in there.

[Vinca]

27. Do you suppose these characters would be singing a different tune if they'd actually hung Pence?

I totally think they would have if they'd managed to get their mitts on him. Ron Johnson might have found himself on the wrong end of a flagpole, too, if they'd encountered him. The idiots don't know who's a Trumphumper or a Trump hater.
