Ron Johnson, GOP Senator from Wisconsin, on why he decided to run for Senate again despite promising to
impose term limits on himself:
“There are many factors [about why I changed my mind]. It
wasn’t an easy decision. But I think probably the easiest way to put it is that
I love America dearly. I love the American people. I love the folks in
Wisconsin and I think this country is in trouble. I think Democrats in power in
Washington have put us on a very dangerous path and I think I’m in a position
to help improve things. It really just boils down — it’s that simple. We need
to restore confidence in so many institutions within — throughout America,
whether it’s in governmental agencies, whether it’s in media, in big tech.
People have lost confidence. And the only way I can see restoring confidence is
we need to ask a lot of questions, we need to get some answers, we need
accountability. We need the truth and unfortunately the truth is being censored
today at an alarming, very disconcerting rate. And so, I’m just one of those
truth-tellers. I ask tough questions, I try and get answers. But when I tell
the truth, the truths that the media elite, the governing elite don’t want to
hear, I get censored, I get attacked, I get vilified but it doesn’t deter me.
And I think we need people who are willing to seek the truth.”
In short, Ron Johnson knows he could never get as cushy a
job as one where he does very little actual work and thinks he can fool the
people of Wisconsin into keeping him in the Senate.
Do your job, Wisconsin, and send crazy home.
