Watch Ron Johnson Run Away Like a Little B**ch Instead of Answering Questions About the Uvalde Tragedy

By

Ron Johnson, man, this dude is a piece of work.

A devoted Trumper, Johnson is one of the patriotic Senators who spent July 4th in 2018 in Moscow. Which, makes you ask questions, you know?

Now, in light of the tragedy that happened in Uvalde, Texas earlier this week, we must note that Johnson, a Republican (duh) from Wisconsin, has received $1,269,486 from the NRA, according to the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence.

On Wednesday, Johnson was asked some questions about what happened in Uvalde, but the elected official stayed silent and ran away, trying unsuccessfully to get into an office on Capitol Hill as he was questioned by CNN’s Many Raju.

Here’s Ron Johnson on July 4, 2018 being a patriotic American by…spending time in Moscow.

The NRA itself has called the mass shooting “the act of a lone, deranged criminal”. Yeah, a lone, deranged criminal with a gun. A gun he bought days after his 18th birthday. This criminal couldn’t buy an alcoholic drink, but he could walk into a gun store, but the gun, and walk out with the gun the very same day. Easy peasy. No different than walking into a store and buying a carton of cigarettes. PSYCH! He would’ve had to be 21 to buy cigarettes.

The gun rights group, who is often blamed by critics for standing in the way of meaningful legislation, released a statement on the shooting on Wednesday.

“Our deepest sympathies are with the families and victims involved in this horrific and evil crime. On behalf of our members, we salute the courage of school officials, first responders and others who offered their support and services.”

And the group added: “Although an investigation is underway and facts are still emerging, we recognize this was the act of a lone, deranged criminal.”

Yeah, f*ck you Wayne LaPierre. With your mansions and boats and cars and planes. F*ck you.

Yes, we are placing this image in every story about Uvalde. We want you to see their faces. God, they mattered.

Anyway, let’s get back to this piece of shit Ron Johnson, who is so firm in his convictions that he…runs away and won’t answer the questions. Because he knows what he HAS to say is wrong. He knows these powerful weapons like AK-47s don’t belong in the hands of anyone who isn’t in the military or law enforcement. But he can’t say that. Then he wouldn’t get that sweet, sweet NRA blood money. And a campaign won’t finance itself. So he runs. Like the coward he is.

People on Twitter were truly disgusted:
