Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., says Democrats are launching smear attacks against conservatives because they cannot stand on their record as Americans sour on crime, the economy and gas prices.
“They can’t defend the disastrous results of their policy,” Johnson told the John Solomon Reports podcast in an interview that aired Friday. “They can’t defend open borders and record high gas prices and 40 year high inflation.”
The average price of gas nationwide exceeded $5 per gallon for the first time in history earlier in June
“So all they can do is smear and engaged in the politics of personal destruction,” he continued. “All they can do is try and destroy their political opponents. And they’re very practiced to doing it. They’re very good at it. Yes. And it’s very unfortunate.” The Wisconsin lawmaker, who us up for re-election in November, spoke after the House Democrat-led Jan. 6 committee made a number of sensational allegations against Republicans, some that ultimately proved false.
Host John Solomon notably cited the case of Georgia GOP Rep. Barry Loudermilk whom the committee accused of leading a tour through the U.S. Capitol to familiarize rioters with the building’s layout. Capitol Police completely cleared Loudermilk, asserting that he never even entered the Capitol building with the tour group in question.
Likewise, Johnson was accused of attempting to hand then-Vice President Mike Pence false electoral information from his state, which was hotly contested and a focal point for allegations for voter fraud.
Johnson flatly denied the story and texts showed his staff actually decided not to have the senator deliver an alternate slate of electors to Pence.
The Wisconsin senator explained that he received texts from a Trump attorney attempting to get him to pass a document on Wisconsin electors to Pence, but asserted the attorney also was an “innocent bystander” in the episode.The […]
Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our Giving Fuel. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
