U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson said he opposes new gun laws and blamed "wokeness" and critical race theory for school shootings days after a gunman in Texas killed 21 people, almost all of whom were elementary school students.

"This is a society-wide problem, a society-wide sickness that is not going to be solved by some gun law, additional gun laws here in Washington D.C.," the Oshkosh Republican told Fox Business host Neil Cavuto.

Asked whether stiffer background checks could curb future school shootings, Johnson said people will always fall through the cracks. He clarified in the interview some people shouldn't have guns but said there are issues in making the determination of who shouldn't be able to buy firearms.

"The solution lies in stronger families, more supportive communities, I would argue renewed faith," he said. "We've lost that. We stopped teaching values in so many of our schools. Now we're teaching wokeness. We're indoctrinating our children with things like CRT, telling, you know, some children they're not equal to others and they're the cause of other people's problems."

Hey, Ron.....GFY.

🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕

1. He certainly is not about to admit

his responsibility.

[TheRealNorth]

2. A fucking embarrassment to the State of WI

That this SOB beat Russ Feingold twice is beyond me.

3. wait...

I thought it was video games

I thought it was mental illness.

I thought it was the lockdown and COVID.

I thought it was lack of religion in school.

I thought it was Antifa.

I thought it was BLM.

I thought it was not enough law enforcement and punishment.

So... all that is wrong... it is CRT and Wokeness?

But it is never, cannot be, no way... GUNS.

4. These idiots glom on to a new buzzword, label, or scapegoat, & once they've been told

it's the cause of all evil, they pass laws to forbid it, even if there's no there there, and they trot it out to explain away everything--until a new buzzword is chosen and promulgated.

5. He is an evil man.

That is all.

[Scrivener7]

7. This guy is OUSTABLE. His polls against ALL the Democratic contenders are close.

I hate Empty Green as much as anyone. But there is no way we'll oust her.

Johnson, however, could be.

If you have money to donate to candidates, donate to the winner of the WI primary.

Another good Senate race to invest in is Pennsylvania. Fetterman has an excellent chance against either OZ OR McCormick.

8. I don't think

I don’t think anyone has been banned from here due to extreme profanity, but if I comment on him, I might be the first.

9. So, Ron, do you think you should pass some laws making it harder for "wokes" to buy guns?

[Stuart G]

10. Ron Johnson up for election in November...Vote him out....

[Emile]

11. Well that's a new one. Blame everyone but the gun nut!

[Stuart G]

12. Whoever runs against Johnson in this November's election will get donations from me.

He is a complete idiot.

13. RoJo

was SO relieved when Tuberville was elected and he didn't have to be the dumbest guy in the senate any more. Now he's rooting for Herschel Walker, just like Tubs is, so he can move up a notch from second dumbest to third dumbest.

14. DUers, if you have Twitter, only refer to this tweet with #RonJohnsonIsADisgustingDisgrace

I don't want to see any DUers not using this hashtag for this atrocious remark, let's do it.

15. He is so full of shit.
