Ron Johnson Auditions For Russian TV

It's no secret that Senator Ron Johnson (Q - Moscow) is a Russian ass(et). We knew that in 2018 when RoJo and seven other Republican lawmakers spent the Fourth of July with Vladimir Putin in Moscow. Ever since then, RoJo has been Putin's lapdog, regurgitating Russian talking points time and time again. Lately, he's been taking up the Russian talking points regarding their invasion of Ukraine.

But in an interview yesterday on News Nation, RoJo sounded more like he was auditioning for a spot on Russian TV, maybe with Tucker Carlson. After patting himself on the back for being an useful tool for the Russians, he goes starts to sing paeans to Putin and Mother Russia:

I'm hoping the $61 billion will convince Vladimir Putin to come to the negotiating table and end this war. But I don't think it will. I mean, again, my point for well over a year is Vladimir Putin will not lose this war. They have four times the population. They can produce four and a half times the 155 millimeter shells at a tenth of the price of the West. The average age of Ukrainian soldiers is 43 years.

So when Chuck Schumer came out of the White House and said, this is simple, if Ukraine gets the $60 billion, they win. If they don't, they lose. I mean, again, he was lying through his teeth. He knew that wasn't true. And now the Biden administration is saying, well, I don't think this is going to quite do it. They're talking about a 10-year security pact.
