Sen. Johnson Talks Gibberish About Wisconsin Election

Sen. Ron Johnson spoke with Matt Smith of Wisconsin-based UpFront to discuss last week's elections:

SMITH: Tuesday night. You know this data incredibly well. How did this happen on Tuesday?

ROJO: Well, Matt, you know, there's no way to sugarcoat this. It was a disappointing loss. I know Brad Shimmer worked his tail off. A lot of other people did as well. It's just a sad fact, sad reality that more than 600,000 people that voted for President Trump, they want to see him succeed. You either weren't aware or weren't energized or just didn't feel as important enough to try and make sure that he would be able to be effective for the full four years and put at risk a couple of House seats, voter ID, and a bunch of other things as well. So, I mean, the good news is we did have the advisory referendum. So, I hope the justices were looking at the fact that Wisconsinites overwhelmingly support voter ID because they don't want their legitimate vote canceled out by a fraudulent or illegitimate vote.

SMITH: I was going to say, you said this on the campaign trail about these Trump voters who stayed home. The Shimel campaign said it loud and clear, knowing they had to get out. Why do you think these voters stayed home?
