Ron Johnson

I think we literally passed it out of this Committee, under my chairmanship, twice, I think unanimous bipartisan support.

I think what we should be doing is taking a look at targeting what we have already authorized.

This is going to be a party line vote. We don’t expect any Republican senators at this point to actually support the bill.

I don`t want to sound like a leftist but I`m going to resist. OK, so the first way I`m going to resist is I`m going to go down and object to the waving of the reading of the bill. I will make them read their 600 or 700 page bill.

I think those of us on this side of the aisle are certainly concerned about the smaller mom-and-pop shops that also provide products and services in a way that consumers value as well.

But when the Government comes in and mandates a cost structure, a wage, and puts a smaller competitor out of business, that is what concerns many of us.

Senator Ron Johnson... pushed the preposterous claim that the insurrection was really the work of fake Trump supporters disguised as real ones.

A very few didn`t share the jovial friendly earnest demeanor of the great majority. Some obviously didn`t fit in. And he describes four different types of people, plainclothes militants, agents provocateurs, fake Trump protesters, and…

When he said the mood of the crowd was positive, and festive.

I appreciate the Chair's comments about the bipartisan/nonpartisan investigation here seeking out the truth.

I would urge anybody that criticized me for entering an eyewitness account into the record last week to please read the eyewitness account to take a look at actually what the truth is.

Is part of that because of what you had experienced in the past, what this Mr. Waller experiences, the vast majority of Trump supporters are pro-law enforcement and the last thing they would do is violate the law?

I find the videos... sickening, the violence reprehensible, the racial slurs repugnant.

From my standpoint, Leader McConnell speaks for himself in this case, I don’t believe he speaks for the conference. I think it needs to be a little careful. You know, when I speak, I do actually try and take in mind how it might reflect on…

The fact the matter is, this didn`t seem like an armed insurrection to me. If that wasn`t a plan arms direction, man, you`re really a bunch of idiots. I`m sitting back my office watching video of the armed insurrectionists staying within…

The fact of the matter is, this didn't seem as an -- like an armed insurrection to me. I mean, armed -- when you think of, hear armed, don't you think of firearms?

The president`s lawyers blew the House manager case out of the water. They legally eviscerated them.

I would love to work with the administration to try and target this, and, again, I know it is not easy, but I think it is essential.

This is going to be a growing crisis and another disaster based on, again, no deportations, we are not going to build the wall.

So based on the fencing with concertina wire surrounding the Capitol right now, apparently somebody thinks fencing actually works, and I would agree with that.

I believe DACA was the catalyst that created what President Obama referred to in 2014, the first peak here, as a 'humanitarian crisis.'

Democrats can`t have it both ways, an unconstitutional impeachment trial, and confirmation of the Biden administration`s national security team. They need to choose between being vindictive or staffing the administration to keep the nation…

It will divide. It is like opening up a wound and throwing salt in it. That is not a healing process.
