Fact-checking Sen. Ron Johnson's continued efforts to mislead on Covid-19 and January 6 insurrection
CNN
Wisconsin Republican Sen. Ron Johnson's penchant for spreading false claims and misinformation shows no signs of stopping after a week in which he touted falsehoods related to both the January 6 Capitol riot and Covid-19.
The senator faced online punishment Friday after making false claims over treatments for Covid-19 and, over the weekend, downplayed the events of the January 6 riot during an interview on Fox News. Johnson has been one of the most prominent Republican senators this year to make false and incorrect claims -- often repeating narratives touted by former President Donald Trump and his allies -- over the pandemic and the Capitol riot.
