After dabbling in racism with his comments on the Capitol insurrection, Johnson this week decided to go all-in on the overtly racist replacement theory that is all the rage amongst Republicans and Fox News:
This is no surprise — Johnson has been screaming about migrant caravans and the border since even before Joe Biden took residency at the White House. He was one of the GOP senators who went down to play soldier in a photoshoot down at the border a few weeks back and he continues to blair the false alarm and rile up racist sentiment.
..........................
Johnson’s racism isn’t confined to Latinos, however. He’s been called out again and again for smearing Black Lives Matter — remember when he said that he wasn’t afraid of the Capitol rioters he helped incite, because they “love this country,” but would have been terrified of BLM protestors? What’s gone unreported thus far is that in the same interview in which he made those horrible comments, he also spread some disgusting lies about George Floyd’s death.
In short, he says Floyd may have died of a drug overdose, which has not only been disproven in the Derek Chauvin trial, but is the sort of lie that devalues a Black life and suggests that Floyd deserved to die.
These comments mark the latest evolution in Johnson’s de-evolution from right-wing creep to outright racist. Just look at all the horrible things he’s said over the past year — casting doubt on COVID, promoting quack medicine dismissed by the FDA, promoting Trump’s Big Lie, helping incite an insurrection, and then saying incredibly racist things about Black Lives Matter.

Response:
I’ve got 3 things to say.
#1- Ron Johnson is a dick with ears.
#2- I don’t know if I’m amazed or not that Larry Kudlow has his own show on Fox News (we are talking about Fox “News” after all), but every time I’ve ever seen him being interviewed (or now his own show) on TV he’s reminded me of a character from a sit-com. Like Seinfeld perhaps. He just doesn’t seem real.
#3- That was a great commercial from Tom Nelson. I’ve donated to his campaign before and will continue to do so. Good luck Mr. Nelson. You too Blue Tuesday.
