GOP Sen. Ron Johnson calls for "saving this nation" and says Wisconsin voters who love America should vote for him -- a guy who actually admitted he played a role in a plot to overturn American democracy on Jan. 6, 2021.

Johnson* said this is his pitch to WI voters:
“If you love this nation and are concerned about its future, join us.... Join us in unifying and healing and saving this nation.”
*Johnson was involved in an effort to give fake electors to VP Pence to thwart a national election.

It remains incredible that Ron Johnson 1) was busted attempting to deliver a list of fake electors from WI and MI to the vice president 2) admits it and 3) says it's no big deal because he was only involved in a plot to overthrow an election for "a couple seconds."

He still has no good response to questions about his role in passing along a list of fake electors to the VP.
“I had virtually no involvement,” he told a local reporter recently -- right before describing how he was involved. “Literally, my involvement lasted seconds. OK?”

It's also incredible that Johnson has said the reason he didn't deliver the list of fake electors to the VP that day wasn't because, I dunno, it's illegal and anti-democratic, but because he learned that Pence said he didn't want it.
Totally normal stuff!

As if that's not bonkers enough -- and all in plain sight -- Johnson continues to have a paid staffer on his campaign who was one of the 10 Wisconsin Republicans who signed the fake paperwork claiming to be an elector backing Trump.

Johnson also said today in an interview with Hugh Hewitt that he feels “so depressed” that Biden hasn’t done more to bring Americans together.
And then promptly downplayed an actual attempted coup at the Capitol by made false claims about the Black Lives Matter movement.

“Let’s be honest. It is the left that is dividing this nation. It has always been the left that divides this nation,” said Johnson, who... tried to help stop the presidential transfer of power after an insurrection fueled by a lie aimed at keeping a defeated Trump in office.

In case you weren't aware of Ron Johnson's role in attempting to give the VP a list of fake electors from MI and WI falsely claiming that Trump won those states instead of Biden, here it is -- in his own words!

Anyway, Ron Johnson is rolling out his pitch to Wisconsin voters that if they love America, they should vote for him.

And he was one of the republicans who went to Moscow on the 4th of July.

Don’t forget he sat in the impeachment jury pretending he didn’t know anything about it, voted no to witnesses, voted to acquit trump, then voted no to the bipartisan jan6 commission.

Don't listen to
@SenRonJohnson
. Don't believe anything he says. He cares only about his own huge pile of money. He hates our republic. He knows that he is not a patriotic American and that no one who is a patriotic American will vote for him this fall.
Will he be indicted?
