Ron Johnson Tells The Dumbest Lie Imaginable As He Claims People Were Crying And Begging Him To Run

NOT THE ONION!

Johnson said, “I didn’t want to do this. I was happy twelve years and go home. My wife really didn’t want me to do this, but we’re both patriots and when we started opening up after COVID, as I’m going around the state, and people are coming up to me with tears in their eyes, streaming down their cheeks, you gotta run. You gotta help us save this country.” 🤣😂🤣

They should worry about saving it from crazy-assed "patriots", as they call themselves in Texas, who are hell-bent on destroying any progress civilization has created in the last century.

If you're going to lie like trump you have to go big like trump - "Sir, you gotta run! You gotta help us save this country!"

"Honey, I really wanted to mow the lawn today - really, I did - but people kept coming up to me with tears streaming down their cheeks, just begging me not to mow it."

"No, officer, I really didn't want to drive 10 MPH over the speed limit here. Really, I didn't, but just yesterday, this man came up to me - a big, manly man, like, 6 feet four and 240, and he had tears streaming down his cheeks, and he just begged me to drive faster."

The possibilities are endless...

Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) claimed he broke his term limit promise because people were crying and begging him to run.

Said Johnson: “I didn’t want to do this… but people are literally coming up to me with tears in their eyes, streaming down their cheeks saying, ‘You got to run. You got to help us save this country!'”


Ron Johnson Claimed People Were Begging Him to Run (politicalwire.com)

at least god did not beg johnson to break his campaign promise to self term limit, though i'm sure that if the tears of those poor people of wisconsin had not been enough an angel would have been dispatched forthwith.

i was going to close with a few brilliant qiotes from this lion of the senate, but i think johnson gets his material straight from senator phogbound (from l'il abner for you children)

Wisconsin sent fake electors. Wisconsin elected Scott Walker. Wisconsin let Kyle Rittenhouse walk away scot free.

There are definitely Wisconsin MAGAts so unhinged they'd cry at the prospect of Johnson leaving the Senate.

Hell, almost every state has such people.
