As Ron Johnson suggests Covid was “pre-planned by an elite group of people,' it's worth appreciating his lack of credibility as he pushes other theories.

I mention all of this for a few reasons. The first, obviously, is that it’s quite odd to see a prominent public official — who actually led the Senate committee responsible for domestic security policy for six long years — claim that Covid was “pre-planned” by a secret group of “elite” people he hasn’t identified. It’s unfortunate when a random crank on Twitter says this to his four followers, but it’s more unsettling when a three-term U.S.

What’s more, it’s difficult not to wonder about the impact Johnson’s strange rhetoric might have on those who might be inclined to trust him, unaware of the fact that the far-right Wisconsinite has no idea what he’s talking about. But let’s also not forget that Johnson has been equally eager of late to share a variety of other ideas. The Republican returned to Fox Business on Tuesday, for example,that he “knows” that there were “all kinds of irregularities” in the 2020 presidential election, adding that his conspiracy theories about the election are “indisputable.”

A day later, Johnson appeared on Newsmax, another conservative outlet, claiming that prosecutors holding Donald Trump accountable for alleged crimes makes the senator feel as if the United States is “The rhetoric was, of course, quite bonkers, but for conservative voters unsure what to believe, consider the larger context: The far-right politician

that U.S. officials are trying to “imprison their political opponents” is the same far-right politician who claims Covid was “pre-planned by an elite group of people.”
