Mandela Barnes: WI Senate Opponent Ron Johnson Is ‘The Biggest Hypocrite Out There’

Wisconsin is one of the states that could decide the future fate of American democracy on Election Day. In the race for Senate, the Trump loyalist and Big-Lie pushing incumbent Ron Johnson is currently in a tight race with Wisconsin Lieutenant Governor Mandela Barnes. Johnson will not even commit to accepting the results of the election. Ali Velshi speaks to Barnes and learns why he thinks Ron Johnson’s Big Lie behavior “just goes to show you just how low he'll go.”

How can you trust any Senator that would rather spend the 4th of July in Moscow with Putin than be with the people who elected him. That goes for 7 other Republican Senators like Jon Kennedy of Mississippi.

[dannmarceau]

Johnson is what the Founders warned us of.

[sarahjoe]

Love Barnes. Smart guy.

Do the right thing Wisconsin!!!

[slflower]

If I could vote in Wisconsin I would vote for Mandela! Let's get back to reality and human decency. 💙💙💙

[jvcyt]

Mandela needs to tell everyone how obscenely wealthy Johnson and his family are, and how that wealth is at the expense of the citizens of Wisconsin.

[catwilliamson]

I sure hope Barnes wins. Not only is he a GREAT candidate but you have to get rid of Johnson.

[YZW]

I think lying Ted and Gym Jordan are right up there with Ron.

[siccmade]

GO OUT AND VOTE BLUE 💙💙 NO MATTER WHAT STATE YOUR IN

"Ruskie" Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) spent Independence Day July 4th, 2018, in Moscow, Russia, with seven other Republican United States Senators.

[teresalegler]

If I lived in Wisconsin, where I have family, Mandela Barnes would get my vote. Meanwhile, I continue to support him financially.

Vote BLUE!

[jtempleton]

I've donated to Mandela's campaign. Let's support him! 👍

[smartist_witin_kintucky]

how about we stop electing people who were born during a time when everything was made of wood

[francynelane]

Make a plan, take the day off work/school if necessary, wear comfortable shoes, give rides and GO VOTE DEMOCRAT THIS TUESDAY MANDELA BARNES 🌊🌊🌊

[susanmaguire]

Please remind all your friends and family to vote!
The turnout for voters 18 to 25 has been extremely low. So let's all contact any younger family members and tell them how very, very important this midterm is for the future of our country and for their futures.
Repeat the message everywhere.

Ron Johnson saying that he wants to return trust in our elections is like Brock Turner saying that he wants women to feel safe on campus.

[estherjoseph]

We support yuh all the way to the Senate

[MichaelMoore-rcch]

Sherly this can't be the same ron johnson who said he would not serve more than 2 terms . Because that would make him a big f!!n. Lier!

[foureyes]

In these times it's very hard to say that any one politician is the " biggest hypocrite " . There's a lot of competition out there for top Spot.

[lilianfowler]

Listen carefully, Ronnie, the big plan is that Democrats will vote. No alternative electors.

[monteharwell]

North Carolina here, go ahead on mr Barnes .I'm all in with Cherie Beasley .vote blue no matter who....monte
