What is it about Wisconsin Republican Senators? How much do you want to bet that Johnson

has a likeness of Joe McCarthy tattooed on his ass?

His lack of decency, arrogant ignorance and total disregard for the truth may yet win him the title "Tailgunner Ron".

Johnson was one of the eight Republicans who made the trip to Moscow, on July 4th, 2018!

Sen. Ron Johnson of Wisconsin returned from a trip to Russia earlier this month with some new perspectives on the US sanctions on Moscow after its annexation of Crimea and meddling in the 2016 presidential election.

“We need to take a look at sanctions — are they actually changing Russia’s behavior?” Johnson said on Friday. “And right now, unfortunately, I don’t think they’re particularly working from that standpoint.”



Johnson appeared to walk back some of his earlier comments and that he was not suggesting to weaken the sanctions but rather, “we need to take a look at what works.”

My theory is that the 8 were either paid off...or perhaps the FSB(KGB) presented them with evidence of certain actions they or a family member have taken...that they assumed had been erased from the record...
