If you have heard Senator Ron Johnson speak for more than 30 seconds and realize

that he is in the same intellectual category as Rep. Gomert, it has to be both puzzling and frightening to hear him described by the MSM as a "powerful Republican Senator".

He literally would not be in the Senate without Russian intervention. He “won” by a small margin in a state Russia focused on (and Republican voter suppression focused on.) He’s completely invested in defending Russia and Trump.

I can't even imagine the outrage from republicans if a single Democrat had done the same.
