Perhaps no senator has been more in Trump’s pocket and flirted with propaganda on behalf of Russia than Ron Johnson. Oddly, a state that, until perhaps eight years ago under the dangerous Scott Walker leadership, was renowned for its common sense and enlightened public school and university system has fallen so far, so fast, down the MAGA hole, even though Joe Biden narrowly won the state in 2020. Now Ron Johnson faces the voters again in the mid-terms. It is a close race, though leaning right. But the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel recommends that voters give Johnson the boot.

He’s an election falsifier who recklessly promoted lies about the 2020 presidential race long after it was clear Donald Trump lost.

He’s a science fabulist who suggested, without evidence, that the COVID-19 vaccines could make the pandemic worse and who repeatedly touted unproven remedies for the disease — from Ivermectin to mouthwash.

He’s tried to rewrite the sordid history of the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, claiming the attackers were “people that love this country, that truly respect law enforcement, would never do anything to break the law.”

For years, Ron Johnson has demonstrated that he should be retired to his family’s seaside Florida home — and not representing Wisconsin in the U.S. Senate. Voters should send him packing this November.

1. It's always nice when a major media outlet sees what we see

I just wish it wasn't quite so surprising when it happens. It's a pleasant surprise, don't get me wrong.
