  1. Ron Johnson debate performance was just gross.

  2. Johnson is just shameful ..

  3. How did Lt Govenor Mandela Barnes turn against America?

    Isnt Rep Ron Johnson being accused of attempting to have VP Mike Pence fraudulently overturn the Presidential election?

  4. mandy barnyard STILL can't figure out how to dress like a big boy and actually put a tie on. No doubt, to be fair, he wouldn't even know how to tie it, but he MUST have a clip-on SOMEWHERE in his toy box at mommy's house…

  5. OMG 😳 this Ron fellow is 🍆 knob. Does he even know what’s going on?

  6. just realized that I went to the same high school as Johnson 🤮🤮🤮

  7. This is like swing and missing at a 45 MPH eephus pitch 😂

  8. Well he was right, I can't understand why Barnes dislikes his own country so much. But the moderator was trying to see if he knew how to play nice. So what is more important playing nice? Or telling the truth? In certain people in politics have not been playing nice for a long time I guess he's got nothing but the truth left

  9. Say something nice. That's like the ultimate challenge for today's Republican party.

  10. Oh Look, a new affirmative action politician

  11. Voters in Wisconsin are nuts if they vote for Barnes. He's supporting evil. He has no idea that Pelosi and Raskin were behind Jan6. BLM and Antifa did the dirty work for them.

  12. They brought up Jan6, but not BLM/Antifa riots.

  13. Hi! I'm Ron Johnson and if you elect me- I promise to continue being the most awful human being I can be at every given opportunity!

  14. Johnson forgot his white robe tonight.

  15. Ron Johnson just can't be a decent human being , even when given the easiest opportunity. And he is ahead in the polls???

  16. Really Wisconsin? Ron's got to go.

  17. The hosts DID NOT instruct the audience about NOT applauding during the debate! Totally unprofessional!

  18. A typical Republican can't make a compliment without turning it into an insult. Yeah real classy Ron🤡

  19. That only goes to show the true character of Ron Johnson. Johnson is self-serving,he will never get my vote! We need to rid our government of these self-serving, power controlling individuals. We need to bring trust, respect, honor, compassion and loyalty back into existence in our world, without it we will FAIL, desperately FAIL!!!

  20. Johnson is a liar and a thief. Vote Blue to save the country from tyranny.

  21. Stay Classy, Senator Johnson!

  22. They gave Johnson a softball, he swung…and missed.🤣🤣

  23. Ron Johnson is just another in a long line of QAnon-Republican Trump Cult Members who doesn't care about America or its people.

  24. Oh, boo-hoo…did poor little mandy's feelings get hurt by mean 'ol Senator Johnson??! Sissy democrats can dish it out but can't take it. 🙄

  25. Ron Johnson is a dooshbag. Just look at him. Pasty and pompous. He's just GQP villianous with not an ounce of honesty nor integrity…

  26. Shame on Wisconsin if they re-elected this bozo fascist yet again. They will forever be WisconSINed

  27. TBH Barne's answer was also meh

  28. RUSSIAN RUSSIAN RUSSIAN RUSSIAN RUSSIAN RUSSIAN RUSSIAN RUSSIAN RUSSIAN RUSSIAN RUSSIAN RUSSIAN RUSSIAN RUSSIAN RUSSIAN RUSSIAN RUSSIAN RUSSIAN RUSSIAN RUSSIAN RUSSIAN RUSSIAN RUSSIAN RUSSIAN RUSSIAN RUSSIAN RUSSIAN RUSSIAN RUSSIAN RUSSIAN RUSSIAN RUSSIAN RUSSIAN RUSSIAN RUSSIAN RUSSIAN RUSSIAN RUSSIAN RUSSIAN RUSSIAN RUSSIAN RUSSIAN RUSSIAN RUSSIAN RUSSIAN RUSSIAN RUSSIAN RUSSIAN RUSSIAN RUSSIAN RUSSIAN RUSSIAN RUSSIAN RUSSIAN RUSSIAN RUSSIAN RUSSIAN RUSSIAN RUSSIAN RUSSIAN RUSSIAN RUSSIAN RUSSIAN RUSSIAN RUSSIAN RUSSIAN RUSSIAN RUSSIAN RUSSIAN RUSSIAN RUSSIAN RUSSIAN RUSSIAN RUSSIAN RUSSIAN RUSSIAN RUSSIAN RUSSIAN RUSSIAN RUSSIAN RUSSIAN RUSSIAN RUSSIAN RUSSIAN RUSSIAN RUSSIAN RUSSIAN RUSSIAN RUSSIAN RUSSIAN RUSSIAN RUSSIAN RUSSIAN RUSSIAN RUSSIAN RUSSIAN RUSSIAN RUSSIAN RUSSIAN RUSSIAN RUSSIAN RUSSIAN RUSSIAN RUSSIAN RUSSIAN RUSSIAN RUSSIAN RUSSIAN RUSSIAN RUSSIAN RUSSIAN RUSSIAN RUSSIAN RUSSIAN

  29. Johnson easily won tonight’s debate. Looking forward to 6 more years of a hard working man like him. Mandela has never worked a real job. Would be devastating for small business if elected.

  30. That's right Johnson, just rise up and dunk on Barnes. Who hasn't led in a poll for a month now, while you've led in almost every one (one tie).

  31. What a classless act. I can't believe this guy is a U.S. senator.

  32. Republican politicians lack humanity.

  33. You could put 10 of them in a room the.only sentence they would form liberals are makinhg us think recess?? Welove the military and police arm all of trumps insurrectionist have a blood bath!! We can say they were illegal immigrants that always works for poo white people on entiled men programs!!!!

  34. Ron is exactly what the senate needs, mandella would be another tami Baldwin dem vote that only speaks during election years

  35. Fake Electors, not Admirable!

  36. Johnson just showed his true colors, again, as a racist and MAGAnut seditionist. No honor, just like the rest of the Trumpists.
