Just how stupid is Ron Johnson? (R-MAGA, Wisconsin Senator)

This stupid.

Unfortunately, he still has two years before he's up for re-election.

Ron Johnson implies federal government was involved in ‘coups’ to ‘take out’ Kennedy, Nixon and Trump

Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) issued another unfounded conspiracy theory on Wednesday, when he alleged that the federal government was involved in coups to “take out” former Presidents John F. Kennedy, Richard Nixon and Donald Trump.

“The first coup is you take out Kennedy. The second coup, you take out Nixon. Then you take out Trump,” Johnson said on the “Federalist Radio Hour” podcast. “You know, to what extent is the federal government involved in these things?”

(snip)

Johnson’s coup statement comes a day after the senator dubiously claimed on “The Vicki McKenna Show” that the Great Depression was “pretty well planned.” After offering no evidence for his claim, Johnson said he doesn’t “completely understand it” but that he feels it in his bones that it’s true.

On my scale of stupidity, there isn't a bottom low enough to include him / Johnson on. tRUMP is down there too on the bottom of this scale too.

Knowledge gets near him and is never seen again. Just a glimmer at the event horizon that it never got near him.

To get busted for faking a phone call. He should have called the other Johnson, Mikey. He could have told him how it is done.

After offering no evidence for his claim, Johnson said he doesn’t “completely understand it” but that he feels it in his bones that it’s true.

"I don't need any evidence, whether to prove it to myself or to you." That's the essence of "truthiness".
