Last March, Ron Johnson (Q-Moscow) made the ignorant comment that he would have been more concerned if it were Black people storming the Capitol during the January 6 sedition riot.
Deborah Lipstadt, the nominee to be the State Department’s special envoy for monitoring and combating antisemitism, called him out by name, saying he was acting like a white supremacist.
RoJo nursed the resulting grudge for nearly a year until a delayed hearing for her confirmation last week. He coerced her into giving him an apology and then continued to badger her because his feelings were still hurt:
But Johnson, who has made controversial and false claims about the Jan. 6 riot, did not appear assuaged by the apology. He told Lipstadt she was “not qualified” to serve as the State Department’s antisemitism envoy.
“You don’t know me. You don’t know a lot of the people you have accused online in front of millions of people,” Johnson said. “You have engaged in the malicious poison [and] vile and horrible charges against people including me that you don’t even know.”
