One Year of Donald Trump Isn't Enough for Ron Johnson

One year after Trump launched his presidential campaign, voters in Wisconsin are still stuck with the “Ronald and The Donald Show.” So to mark their one year anniversary we thought we’d take a walk down memory lane, and remind Senator Johnson of the all the sexist, xenophobic and racist comments Trump has made . 

It should be noted that Sen. Johnson has said he would pull his support for the presumptive Republican nominee if Trump said anything that “crosses the line.” Since he is still wholeheartedly committed to The Donald, it’s clear none of these comments crossed the line for Johnson.

• Accused most Mexican immigrants of most likely being “rapists,” drug traffickers, or criminals

• Mocked a disabled reporter

• Taunted John McCain for being a POW

• Declared that a federal judge from Indiana could not fairly judge him due to the judge’s Mexican heritage

• Said Megyn Kelly had “blood coming out of her wherever”

• Continued to cling to thoroughly debunked birther theories about Obama and even Ted Cruz

• Argued there should be “some form of punishment” for women who get abortions

• Been hammered by revelations on lawsuits by former students of Trump University accusing it of fraud among other claims

• Referred to reporters and the media in general as “absolute scum” and casually wondered if he would kill them (the answer, after careful consideration, was no)

• Refused to condemn his notably white supremacist and neo-Nazi supporters, like David Duke

• Repeatedly supported and encouraged violence against protesters at his rallies

• Suggested widespread nuclear proliferation would not be “a bad thing for us”

• Called for a total shutdown of Muslim immigration into the US, repeatedly

• Had a self-described white nationalist listed as a California delegate

• Implied that Ted Cruz’s father played a part in the JFK assassination

• Praised – and been praised by – Putin

• Said North Korean dictator Kim Jong-Un deserved “credit” for taking out his rivals

• Claimed that President Obama supports ISIS

Of course, Wisconsinites have never warmed to Trump the way Johnson has. A majority of voters in a new PPP poll said Johnson should pull his support from Trump, and even many of the state’s prominent Republicans like Reid Ribble and Charlie Sykes led the “Never-Trump” movement.

But while Wisconsinites are sick of the Ronald and the Donald Show, Johnson can’t get enough. In fact, he’s so attached to Trump he can’t even find the right words to express his commitment. In just one month he’s endorsed him, supported him and been in “total agreement” with him on the “big issues” like nominating Supreme Court justices.
