Johnson: Holding Me Accountable Is Divisive

Last week, Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers became the first state official to make any kind of statement drectly regarding the fake electors scheme. He said that the people involved with it, including Senator Ron Johnson, should face some kind of consequences, although he would not say what form those consequences should take, but did say it shouldn't involve jail time:

In an interview with the Journal Sentinel, Evers said the Republicans should face penalties that could include charges, fines or losing their jobs for participating in a plan to sign paperwork falsely claiming to be electors for Trump after he lost reelection and trying to hand those documents to then-Vice President Mike Pence on Jan. 6, 2021.

"He was part of the deal. Something should happen to him," Evers said of Johnson. "He knew. He knew. Why in the world would a U.S. Senator involve himself with something that is patently against the law?"

He said he did not think the actions warranted jail time.

Unsurprisingly, RoJo took great umbrage at Evers' comments before telling his biggest whopper yet about the fake elector scheme he participated in:'

On Friday, Johnson accused Evers of "spreading dangerous disinformation in order to divide and mislead the American and Wisconsin public" and attacked the media for reporting the comments.
