GOP senator admits trying to overturn Biden win was effort to 'disenfranchise' voters



By Oliver Willis -January 27, 2021 3:32 PM

A total of 147 Republicans voted against certifying the results of the 2020 presidential election.

Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) admitted on Tuesday that voting against certifying President Joe Biden's election win, as many Republicans did, was an attempt to "disenfranchise" millions of voters.

147 Republicans — 8 in the Senate and 139 in the House — voted against certifying the election results. Those votes against certifying came even after a mob of pro-Trump rioters attacked the Capitol, leaving five people dead.

Johnson's characterization of the vote came during a discussion of Donald Trump's second impeachment trial on the syndicated "Joe Pags Show."

If he decides to run, he is going to need to start fund raising now. He wants to bring back his donor who
have move away from those who attempted to disenfranchise black voters.

Follow the money; He wants to be a good boy again.

The Lincoln Project will remember the facts.
