Ron John the clown praises anti-vaxx author

Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) on Monday praised a conservative author who has questioned the need for COVID-19 vaccines and last month drew a sharp rebuke from the country's leading public health official over his comments about the coronavirus pandemic.

"Alex Berenson has been a courageous voice of reason throughout the pandemic. As a result he has been censored," Johnson said in a tweet sent from his official Senate account. "During his suspension on Twitter, you can find him on Substack. ... He provides a valuable counter perspective to the group-think mainstream media."




The author and activist, Alex Berenson, has downplayed the dangers of the coronavirus, questioned the need for lockdown restrictions and speaking openly about resisting mask mandates and vaccines since the beginning of the pandemic last year.

Last month, he sparked cheers from a crowd gathered at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) when he celebrated the fact the U.S. had not reached President Biden's nationwide vaccination rate goal.
