Sen Ron Johnson is actually dumber than you think...or more malevolent.

Besides his ignorance and stupidity demonstrated in the Chuck Todd interview he has stood up proudly, about 10 years ago or so, to defend pedophile priests and the church that concealed them.

The Green Bay Wisconsin diocese asked him to go to bat for them at the Wisconsin state capital hearings on child abuse laws that held organizations like the Catholic Church responsible for their priests sexual assault on children. Johnson, ever the pride of rural Wisconsin, stood in the well and fought to protect priests and the church from those evil children who where so enticing to the celibate.

So it’s no wonder that he willingly throws himself into the path of the trump corruption bus and comes out the other end looking like..., well, like Ron Johnson.

That decreased Democratic turnout in WI in 2016 helped Johnson beat Feingold as well as helped Trump.

It's hard to believe that Wisconsin would elect Johnson over Feingold TWICE. Johnson is such an empty suit/brain.

live in Wisconny,and Catholic,well the Faithful were encouraged to support Johnson because he saved their diocese from being Bankrupted and forced to sell all their holdings in order to comply with Court Orders.

Could not believe the stupid statements coming from these people. Well if the Courts don't get enough money from the church,well,they will come after us. Geez! And these were folks who backed Feingold at one time or other.
