Joy Reid demolishes Ron Johnson
Republican Senator Ron Johnson is a particularly unsettling combination of openly pro-Kremlin and openly racist, to the point that we’re all left wondering if he’s just that disturbed or if he’s doing someone else’s bidding. In any case, he reached a new low when he praised the character of the January 6th Capitol attackers.
Let’s just say that Joy Reid wasn’t having any of it:
I am REALLY hard to shock, but here is @RonJohnsonWI screaming the quiet part. The overwhelmingly white seditionists who stormed the Capitol, chanted “hang Mike Pence” and brought an actual noose; who attacked cops and left 5 people dead, were AOK. Had they been BLACK, though… https://t.co/KPaYhqMx7i

Joy Reid is correct; this is all about race. Ron Johnson is praising these domestic terrorists, even after they murdered a police officer and tried to murder the Vice President and Speaker of the House, simply because they’re white. Johnson is becoming more open about his true loyalties by the day – and one of his loyalties is to white supremacists.
