How wisconsin choose him over the honorable Russ Fiengold is beyond me!? I've lived here my whole life and I've come to the conclusion that most of the state has gone mad!

[ralphharding]

Like most Repugnants, he's a hypocrite.

[Annie-zdrn]

We NEED to come stronger and harder this time! Have more than a blue 🌊 but a blue 🌀 to show the GQP Democracy and Justice MATTERS!

[Codayev]

Wisconsin has one of the beautiful people both inside and outside, nice and welcoming human beings. I go through every other day and I couldn’t how such a nice people will elected this kind of clown

[bluesmamarara]

We need to get him out of our government. I'll be voting blue in WI.

[cynthia]

In 2016 WI didn't know how big a grifter he was. Now we know. Yes, vote him out!!

[robertmahler]

How can the good people of Wisconsin not see how much of a joke this "man" is?
A senator should be a man with integrity, decency, and knowledge, and he got none!

In 2018, Johnson and a group of Republicans wanted to show their patriotism by spending the 4th of July celebrating America's independence in Moscow.
In 2018, eight republican lawmakers celebrated the 4th of July inMoscow: Senator Richard C. Shelby of Alabama, who led the delegation, along with Senators Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, John Neely Kennedy of Louisiana, Steve Daines of Montana, North Dakota’s John Hoeven, Jerry Moran of Kansas, South Dakota’s John Thune, and Rep. Kay Granger of Texas. The dubious reason they gave for the trip was “engagement."

The group met with a number of RussianAgents, and keyRussian officials, including foreign minister and former RussianAmbassador to the US, the two who 14 months earlier were photographed by the RussianPress yukking it up with Trump in the Oval Office, the day after Trump fired Comey for daring to do his job of investigatingRussian interference in our elections. To this day, we have no way of knowing what was discussed during their visit toMoscow, as the media was barred from the closed-door meetings, much to the delight of the GloatingRussians.

Independents, GOP and democrats must band together to vote blue midterms 🇺🇸 💙 2022 to safeguard American democracy against anti-democratic GOP leadership is crucial!!!!

I sent my son to Marquette University in Milwaukee. I have great respect for the people I met with during those years. I cannot connect those I met to this Ron Johnson. His cognitive dissonance is so pathetically deep nothing he says make consistent sense, it is almost utter madness. Wisconsin is so much better than him. IMO

[eldorfthe_wise]

Johnson is the perfect example of the "under-educated" that Trump loves so much.
Johnson needs to go.

[barbaragdisis]

realize that Johnson remains a sitting U.S. senator in good standing. I'm less sure why. Under normal circumstances, today would be the day in which other Republican senators started putting some distance between themselves and their beleaguered Wisconsin colleague.

[summerrain]

Please, Republicans, vote these Qcandidates out in midterms! Vote for true Republicans or vote blue for now just to get these crazy people out!

[thomasl]

Democrats will kick out Ron Johnson big time !

[kevinbundy]

It's time for the Democrats to pick more seats for congress and senate

[juniebugg]

Hey Wisconsin Friends - I am your Minnesota neighbor and I totally support any effort to vote Ron Johnson OUT! Here's a nice easy phrase to remember and share: Vote BLUE in 2022. Do it once more in 2024!

[vonjames]

People in oshkosh Wisconsin are sick of his BS!!!

[terrencekane]

Vote red? America's dead.
Vote Blue in 22!!!💙💙💙

Do your part. Help save our Democracy!!🇺🇸

"We can't just shut everything down because of covid, when it only kills 1-3% of people." - Qanon Ron, saying he's ok with somewhere between 4-11 million Americans dying.
Is that really the best you can do, Wisconsin? 😅😂🤣
