won the election and those were thousands of Black Lives Matter and antifa protestors I would have been concerned."
"Senator Johnson's remarks are racist and unacceptable. There is nothing patriotic about storming the Capitol to attempt to overturn an election and murder elected officials," the statement reads."Apparently for Ron Johnson, simply being Black is a bigger offense than launching a violent insurrection. Ron Johnson is an embarrassment to the United States Senate and the state of Wisconsin. He needs to resign immediately.
"Out of 7,750 protests last summer associated with BLM and Antifa, 570 turned into violent riots that killed 25 people and caused $1-$2 billion of property damage," Johnson said."That's why I would have been more concerned."

"In many of these cases police took a heavy-handed approach to break up the protests, prompting clashes with demonstrators and escalating the event into violence," Jones said."Additionally, in some cases, violent or destructive behavior may have broken out as a result of aggressive intervention by counter-demonstrators or non-state actors like militia groups, and BLM-linked demonstrations were also targeted in dozens of car-ramming attacks throughout the year.
Fake
No Sen Johnson you didn’t feel threatened & that was bc you were prob in on this insurrection. You were touting all the words w/Trump every chance you got. Did you give any tours b4 Jan.6 w/these insurrectionist?Perhaps FBI should check any tapes from the Capital prior to 6th.
This guy Johnson is the poster boy for birth control? What a lying smug bastard he is.
I think we saw his ass jumping down those steps, running first. And now these pathetic lies. Fire his ass.
RonJohnsonWI, VP45 was is enough for all to wonder if you are capable of being an elected official. Your inability to understand what is most vital and grasp the critical meaning for the ugly actions that took place on 1/6/21 is a horrible mental weakness on your part.
And now we visit MC Ronnie J as he performs his racist breakdance to the latest Kid Rock song in his 'Tighty Mighty Whiteys'. I ain't neva scared son. White Nazi, gun carrying, police murdering, coupe de tat, Trump insurrectionist storming the Capitol are good law abiding people!
Pitiful.
He needs to go now!
I think there is a big difference between the attack on Jan 6th and the BLM protests last summer. The riot that happened during Jan 6th didn’t care who they attacked as long as they listened to the cult leader. The BLM protesters, wanted the senseless brutality to end.
😳😳😳😳
orangeorchards Censure time.
As the investigation continues in the capital attack, it seems that there a quite a lot of Nazi's and Nazi sympathizers. It's becoming clear that the GOP favors them and quite frankly have no honor. This exposes the truth that Trump is a Nazi.
He spoke the TRUTH!
For what? BLM and Antifa ARE violent
His comments were his right and they were in no way 'racist' the BLM and Antifa are domestic terrorist organizations.... So yea, he might be more worried ....
SenRonJohnson How could he be elected to represent in the Senate? And then get to grind about the same things all the time. Stop nagging & start doing your job for god's sake.
Deemed 'racist' and 'unacceptable'? Hell no! It IS 'racist' and TOTALLY 'unacceptable' to any human being; that of course, leaves out the GOP.
💩💩💩🙀‼️
And where was he, exactly, while Jan 6th was going on ?
No he’s not. He meant what he said. He made sure everyone knows it, loud and clear. He’s a White supremacist politician with an agenda to grow his base. He is racist and proud of it.
Filthy old man.
White supremacists and other rightwing extremists have been responsible for 67% of domestic terror attacks and plots so far this year, with at least half of that violence targeting protesters, according to a new analysis from a centrist thinktank.
Lock him up
This is the “Red Meat” Sen Rob Portman ridiculed during his Resignation speech. The elderly, white Senior male members of the GOP seek attention like gang leaders.
I mean it makes sense - BLM and Antifa if it was them they might go after Conservatives in the same way the rioters went for Dem’s sh!t. Not really sure how that’s a racist comment
Honestly what do you feed your politicians over there?
I think I’m beginning to understand Libtard language. Racist just refers to anything that’s true
Get rid of him and his ilk!!!
Remove him from office
Didn't he say at the congressional hearing that the people who attacked the Capitol were Antifa dressed as Trump supporters. 🤨
The GOP became a cult full of idiots and racists.
All the evidence points to the fact that conservatism is a learning disorder.
Is “ White Cammo “ a word yet ?
blah blah blah blah racist and unacceptable...stop it! Let a man state how he feels and have his own opinion.
These are the ones that want to make America great: an all-white America, excluding white latinos also...
Get in line... Many sleeper agents in 🇺🇸.. ARREST the Taliban shooters whyte children..By Wednesday, Osbourne was near tears as she proclaimed on the show that neither she nor Morgan is racist. 'They pay him for his opinion... He's a royalist, and there's nothing wrong w/ that🤬
He’s not racist 😂 You are 😂😂😂
Blue lives matter* *some restrictions apply.
Blue lives never mattered It was code for I'm a racist.
The commenters aren’t “deemed” anything. They ARE racist and they ARE unacceptable. The racist should go....
It's not racist to be more afraid of pasty white antifa idiots, & the BLM protests that are mostly 75% white people. Liberals & leftists over use the racism thing so much that people just yawn over it. It would be easier to just post a list of things you don't think are racists.
Good! He needs to be VOTED OUT
Why would he be surprised he’s facing backlash? Is he that ignorant?
GQP Sen. DON Johnson (Q-WI) had said he was going to be a senator only for 2 terms. Now, he is running for a 3rd term! This will be a Democratic pick up next year.
Ron Johnson is not worthy to earn the title lawmaker a racist and should be strip of his title Republican party needs to undergo reform a senator representing a constituency should never be biased people of race color diversity voted them to power why racism why discriminate?
There’s no “racist”. It’s racist.
The first time he made that speech I thought that I had heard him incorrectly. Then I remembered that the world is full of jerks just like him. He should be recalled
Backlash? Somebody should give him a backhand.
His racist ass ain’t facing nothing...tomorrow will be just another day stop the fake hype
Doubling down on his insurrection fame.
Racist
Why would he feel threatened by his friends and family?
This is the GOP of 2021... out loud, insensitive, inappropriate remarks are the new norm for the party of Trump. Open racisim is now part of their platform.
I can’t suggest what I really want to, but he is from Wisconsin? Ppl don’t vote in ALL elections, 🙄 white man, white views, white thoughts, klan mentality, klan intentions🤬WISCONSIN? Show some LOVE❤️VOTE THIS POS WHITE MSN OUT🤬😡🤬😡
One question. How do these people get elected?
Racism in GOP, why isn't this a surprise.
He needed to make this statement for people to know he is racist?
Can I say Ron Johnson is A DUMB BLONDE? or just a fake Senator?
Unbelievable
Johnson is a bad joke
The senator from Wisconsin should be forced to resign for his horrible comments TheDemCoalition SenateDems SenateGOP SenSchumer SenRonJohnson LeaderMcConnell
RonJohnsonWI you are a 🍕💩
Nothing will happen to him. Meanwhile Andrew Cuomo is finished. So whose behavior is worse?
Few days ago someone defined 'Dog whistling' to me. What the person said? 'Coded words that get decoded by like-minded few'.
CNN NYTIMES WASHINGTONPOST MSNBC CBSNEWS FOXNEWS Reuters Why, it seems easy to scream bloody murder. When Democrats get caught with feely feely or racism comments. To get the boot quick. While, Republicans just get a pat on the back or their hand spanked?
F*ck backlash! EXPEL this Klansman!
He was 100% correct have you seen damage and death caused by BLM the past year
Yet nothing will be done to him so...moving on...
Of course he’s racist, he’s in the gop.
Disgraceful AND he deserves every bit of backlash we can throw at him! If he runs in 2022 he needs to be defeated!!!
Total Racist!!
Backlash from who? The GQP? Didn't think so.
As he fucking should
Rightfully so. On Jan. 6 those were his people. He IS racist and unnacceptable. The BLM protests were not his people and if they had gotten a hold of him, the consequences would have been unkind BUT extremely well-deserved.
What do you expect ,, he is just another worthless asshole of a repuke. TRAITORS all !!!
He’s all, “what? I just happen to like white robes & pointy hats!”
it was who they were, not what they did. that's racist.
Every one across the south is a clown.
good luck
Lock them up! Period.
He's still wacky.
So....he is EXACTLY who we thought he was!
Thanks to Bitcoin, you can take the little that the rich gives you as you work for them and build your own riches too DM Amelimarkdonald for more info
Simple solution get rid of him asap.
ExpelTheSeditionists
RonJohnsonWI duh! Of course you pasty saltine butt didn’t. Go kick some rocks while playing in traffic you po💩
Duh ! why the fcuk would his saltine butt would? Man gtfoh and go kick some damn rocks in some damn traffic
There is never a consequence for Republicans. They just pretend nothing ever happened.
Idiot
This man is a racist and is scared to death of the year 2042 when the pasty whites will not be the majority of Americans!
His words are unacceptable,get rid of disrespectful people.Racist
Resign, impeachment
He needs to resign he is with the insurrectionists like many in the GQP party ! Unpatriotic
Racis
The most shocking ...jaw dropping...shouted ‘ WTF ‘ so loud at my phone, while listening to Rachel Maddow podcast, that I scared the crap out of my German Shepherd moment. Is this guy for real? He things he is above the ‘ how normal decent society ‘ should behave obviously.
Abc.... this is why I do not watch you.... he has a opinion. So what. I personally don’t like YOURS
...and shows he’d “unfit” to continue holding office. Is at least a censure from the Senate coming
Sorry, but if you're scared of black people without weapons demanding to not be arbitrarily shot in the streets and their own homes, but not white people with assault rifles storming the Capitol, you are **definitely** racist. There's no two ways about it.
Gee shocker
RonJohnsonWI is a KKK leader
More evidence in support of his low IQ and rapidly declining approval ratings.
And here, so many thought that the stench in Wisconsin was coming from the cheese.
100% Racist
Deemed by who
Maybe he should claim the “my racist comments are due to my diabetes” defense.
And he was deliberate. His voters agree.
Damn diabeetus :-)
He is racist. Why is he not being removed from office?
It is important for everyone that all politicians always agree and solidarity on the distinction between the right to peaceful protest and freedom of expression and opinion and refusing to break into legitimate elected institutions, disrupt their work or impose tutelage on them.
That's because he's an unacceptable racist.
RonJohnsonWI You didn't feel threatened? Then why were you hiding? Should have come out of hiding and greeted the terrorists with open arms. I wonder if they'd have crushed you as they did the officers who tried valiantly to contain them! You weren't worried, you were scared!
He should have stayed back instead of going into hiding. 😜
SenRonJohnson is a crook too.
Get him out!
Now there is a man that needs to resign. His words were hate speech. His ideas are racist. He has no business having a seat in the United States Senate. People need to call for his resignation immediately!
BECAUSE HE IS A KKK PERIOD
Dear Ronnie, if you felt so safe, Why didn’t you go out and talk with them
He just spoke the truth. There were no weapons found on Jan 6, and BLM - Antifa killed 30+ last summer.
Backlash from who? Certainly not the republicans!
But backlash from even a single person from his party?
Unacceptable to who? Just because you don't like a statement does not make it wrong.
Cheese Head!
He loves the “backlash...”. He is from one of those “nowhere” states...I mean Midwest states...any headline is a good headline...
Perhaps people who oppose training on implicit bias and covert racism might not realize their own biases...
Why would any Republican that backs Trump be afraid. They all feel terrorism is fine as long as it benefits them.
Ron Johnson should resign for his baseless remarks, that means he support 6th Jan attack, it was fair for him. let him resign otherwise he has to apologies.
“deemed” by who Some righteous irrelevant Dem?
I didn’t think the GQP ever considered anything they said or did wrong.... I thought they loved willful ignorance and asinine statements — isn’t their motto “The more racist and authoritarian the better?” His supporters will continue in their support because he represents them.
They weren’t just comments. He was revealing his true self.
When a racist tells you they’re a racist...believe them!
He has a right to his opinion so tell the backlash to take a flying leap!!
He is racist
It’s the mans opinion can’t he have one? Everybody to quick to judge everything people say. Don’t think that’s what the founders had in mind when they said FREE SPEECH
Don’t sweat it, Ron. I’m afraid of my own countrymen, too - the White ones.
Deemed?
I thought that he was quitting for Wiscon's benefit?
GOP Sen. Ron Johnson said during congressional hearings that it was antifa dressed as Trump supporters who attacked the lawmakers. Then he said he would have been afraid if antifa was attacking the lawmakers. Johnson lies make no sense.
As a white resident from Wisconsin. I can confidently say RonJohnsonWI should be more nervous of the people he’s supposed to be working for, and not about BLM. He’s the most hated man in this state. Yup...more than Avery or Dahmer
Why isn't the Gop demanding HIS resignation?!
Duh, racists are as racists do.
Just a backlash, nothing will happen. Watch him win election over and over again.
Let me guess. It was just some innocent, casual racism this time. SoundsAboutWhite
Ron is not running for re-election. He is saying all this because he wants attention. He wants to go out with a bang.
Don’t back down sir! You said nothing wrong!
The only ones that were scared of them were the democrats and Nancy Palosi for fucking over the American 🇺🇸 people!
He was correct. Watch video from last night.
What a jerk. He needs to go. Vote him out.
everydayracism GOP
Whitey ain't scared of white mobs?
Deservedly so.... RonQAnon is a racist Insurrectionist
Sadly, racist-biased & seditionist comments are acceptable by gop!
Good! now vote him out or call for his resignation.
Lead with the propaganda terms, bury the quote.
You are so blowing it with this racist hype.
🙄
