I think Senator johnson has already overstayed his welcome. He's not representing his constituents; he's simply following his own agenda and that is NOT what we are paying him to do.

Because he is a RussianAsset and has to do what his Boss orders. Right SenRonJohnson js_politics

To ensure PUTINS AGENDA is favored for HIS COUNTRY? This GOP politician will help trump and their COMRADES

Yeah. THAT'S not suspicious at all. Right?

lizsmithtweet You mean the guy who spent last July 4th in Moscow not Milwaukee (or even Mequon) is spiking cybersecurity bills? Huh!

Russian assets

Isn't SenRonJohnson the guy that was totally not supposed to win against russfeingold and somehow pulled out a win? Hmmmm....maybe he had a little help and is now paying his debt.

He's on the take. Didn't he win his election in a way that was very strange and not expected?

“Senator Ron Johnson (Wisconsin), who went to Russia on July 4 & says we should overlook Russia’s election meddling, enjoyed one of the most surprising election wins of 2016 after Russia compromised WI’s election system.” By patrickLSimpson & jennycohn1

SenRonJohnson WHY? Why are you killing significant cybersecurity-related bills?

maladamus IMHO Well obviously he is getting Russian RUBLES & dirt on his enemies/opponents from Russian Hackers! (IMHO) Y in the world would he want (allow) cybersecurity? Some business issues too (IMHO)

Wonder why? Follow his money.

Start looking for the money trail. Really.

Of course and providing a back door to Russian interference including elections

He was a beneficiary of Russian interference. As I recall he was never ahead in any poll.

SenRonJohnson is failing to protect this country from very real cyber security threats. Why does he not care? He should, it’s his job!

Wonder why...

dude thinks russians are our friends

Why?

“Lead, follow, or get out of the way”

.SenRonJohnson is the doorman holding the gates open for hackers of our democracy and sovereignty. He’s an enemy od America who most probably remains in his seat because he hack “wins” the elections he runs in. He’s also threatened to filibuster any newly introduced gun control.

SenRonJohnson, you do realize that by not allowing Congress to protect our nation’s cyber security, you look like a traitor. Time is of the essence. Unless we secure our elections and infrastructure now, we will surely fall prey to Russian or other foreign attacks. Take action!

Cybersecurity would hurt Republicans chances of getting elected because they wouldn't have cyber-help from Russia, Isreal and Saudi Arabia. Just sayin'.

What?! Comrade Johnson? Can’t be. Must be a mistake.

When your accounts are hacked, your identity stolen, our power grid shutdown, our nuclear plants offline, our communications cut, transportation stopped, remember this clowns name. He caused it

Took his tech training from Orin Hatch

Cha-ching followthemoney

Why?

I honestly think all these older lawmakers need technology classes. They just don’t understand how it all works.

The article is informative, but short on information that would help us to understand why Johnson has consistently blocked cybersecurity legislation.

Oh god I cannot wait to vote this fool out in 2022.

Follow the money - who are his contributors?

What the hell is wrong with that crook he must be on Russian payroll

China and Russia thought it fit to invest in cyber security. Cyber offense too.

We need those bills

There's got to be a law against stupid Senators. I mean seriously, do these people have just no basic common sense? It's like they are stuck in the 60s and 70s and don't know technology affects everything, or Russia has kompromat on them. Or, maybe both?

evil is as evil does.

And what do you know, Senator Johnson was one of the GOP Senators who went to Russia this past July 4th

And the obvious question is why?

CyberSecurity , that’s because of the silacon Valley lobbyists

Is this guy working for the Russians also?

why? someone - like a reporter or an actual news media outlet ? - should investigate his ties to - say Russia or China?

Kremlin puppet.🙄

a world where good things happen. a world where good laws are passed. a world where committees do their job and not act as stopping points for politicians to earn their stripes. that would be nice. even if for a little bit.

Turned? The Sequel?

It’s because he knows a mole in the FBI that has information on secret deep state cabal.

From WISCONSIN of Scott Walker corruption fame

'Goddamit -- What's wrong with a good old fashioned telegraph!?'

This just in, old white guy doesn't understand computers.
