Ron Johnson says ‘we’d be better off not passing another piece of legislation’

During an appearance on Real America’s Voice Monday, U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) criticized other lawmakers for wanting to get “results,” contending the country would be “far better off if we never passed another piece of legislation.”

“Inside the bubble, Republicans say, ‘We need to get a result, we need to effectively govern.’ To me, that’s almost code words for ‘we got to do Democrat-lite,’” Johnson told host Jack Posobiec. “I think we’d be far better off if we never passed another piece of legislation.”

The senator also defended the widely panned Tucker Carlson interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin by referring to the Moscow subway shown in a segment, saying it “looked like a cathedral.”

Johnson was first elected to the Senate in 2010. Despite his recent words, Johnson has called for major changes to U.S. policy that would require passing laws. Johnson has taken a particular stance against Medicare and Social Security, the latter of which he has labeled as a “Ponzi Scheme.”

Johnson has also rejected scientific research on climate change and labeled the issue as “bulls-— in 2021. In 2011, Johnson co-sponsored the Energy Tax Prevention Act, which would have prohibited the Environmental Protection Agency from regulating greenhouse gas emissions if signed into law.
