A Puzzle For The Reality-Based: How To Rebut Bogus Trump Claims Without Amplifying Them?

[malc]

He must have an awful bunch of constituents that have kept him in. I can’t fathom this kind of stupidity

[mariaczubernat]

That chairman Johnson have to be kick out for attempting coupe

[Cleanblack]

Ron Johnson has no shame. He should resign today. He needs to run away not run for office.

[ruthdepew]

Ron Johnson so reminds me of Wisconsin's earlier democracy destroying Senator, Joe McCarthy. I expect Johnson to come striding into the Senate tomorrow carrying an 1952 era briefcase stuffed full of his fraudulent claims.
"Have you no shame, Senator Johnson? Have you no sense of decency?"

[gltchy_lllilll]

We the people of Wisconsin vote trump out. We will vote Ron Johnson out too

[BubblewrapHighway]

"I don't think the science knows, actually." -t***p

Say no more, not interested.

[wethepeople]

Why don't Americans have affordable healthcare, education and housing like they did in 1950s ?
..

[richardplato]

Wish someone would ask what is Ron Johnson hiding or covering up this guy looks and sounds dirty as heck

[debrawilliams]

Put everyone under oath, see if answers are the same, push back was weak, have them present evidence, how much did that cost, ask johnson what did he learn from this

[susanmann]

Trump is afraid of losing his immunity. That's why he won't give up.

[abberepair]

I grew up in Wisconsin. Went to school in Wisconsin. Who funds Johnson et al? Who do we boycott?

[tinavan]

I want to cast my vote for trump as one of the worst cult leaders in US history

[geoffhalpin]

Doesn't matter what anyone says, Trumpets keep touting the same bs.

[kerstinklenovsky]

Shame on those who are trashing the truth like that!

[dennislawrence]

The Republicans President, Pootin, congratulated Biden on his win.

[desertportal]

Sedition is a crime. No rebuttal necessary. Just lock them up.

[jamesricker]

Call him out directly for what he is doing
Pull no punches, label him as someone who does not believe in democracy and who has a dangerous disconnect from reality

[gg-nsew]

people have the right to know the objective truth, the authorities must guarantee this.

[velvetvanburen]

Than you Sen Peters for being a REAL HUMAN..fighting for our Democracy!
