Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that there were “enough” Republican senators who would not vote for the so-called “big, beautiful” spending bill without significant changes.
Host Jake Tapper said, “How determined are you to be that guy if it actually means telling President Trump you are going to vote against the bill and you’re going to try to get other Republican senators to join you, unless there are major, major changes?”
Johnson said, “Well, in 2010, I sprang out of the Tea Party movement and as I did parades I would shout, this is a fight for freedom. we are mortgaging our children’s future. It’s wrong. It’s immoral. It has to stop. I haven’t changed. My campaign promise in 2010, and every campaign after that was to stop mortgaging our children’s future. It’s immoral. It’s wrong. it has to stop. So he may not be worried about that. I’m extremely worried about that. That is my primary goal running for for Congress. This is our moment.”

This is what I hate about Republicans, is the Big Beautiful Bill the best legislation that has ever been drawn up, I’m sure it’s not, instead of boasting to Jake Tapper about having the votes to kill the legislation, why not work to make it better and do your complaining behind closed door and work to get it passed instead of working to kill it.
Ron Johnson has been a stand-up guy, particularly during the COVID attack on liberty. If they can’t get Congress to cut Medicaid for illegals, then they’re useless. They have to get at least that much. The left will scream bloody murder no matter what they do. Hence, there is no real political penalty for making those cuts; indeed, there will be a LOT of Republican voters disgusted with them if they don’t that would surely hurt them in the mid-terms.
who needs democrats when you have these clowns doing the same thing?
Close down the government. No more CRs.
Why doesn’t Johnson say what he is going to do to fix the bill?
Exactly!
Real conservatives don’t show up on CNN to complain about their own party.
RINOs and the usual Democrats are fighting to keep very expensive medical care for illegals.
We should not be funding the medical care of foreigners, no other country does this.
“New York Governor Kathy Hochul Complains Republican Spending Bill Could Cut Services to ‘Members of the Undocumented Community’”
We really need to start talking treason.
Contact Ron Johnson https://www.ronjohnson.senate.gov/contact and politely share your thoughts
I’ve been asking this for weeks now...
How many pages is this big, beautiful bill?
Can it be read in 24 hours, or do we need to pass it to find out what is in it?
This guy has been on political scene for 15 years. He’s part of the problem.
House Democrats can rely on Senate Republicans sometimes
Until he started chirping against this bill, I supported the guy, thinking he was stand up and loyal. How wrong I was, he can go to hell.
Exactly! What’s your solution Little Johnson?
The one thing about democrats is that they support ANYTHING their party does, no matter how damaging it is to America.
GOP consists of backstabbers, anti-Americans and punks - albeit a very few- who will undermine the party at the drop of a hat.
Back to the status quo screw America, right Ronnie? What’s going on with you cheeseheads?
this is what I wrote him.........I was saddened to hear you on CNN’s “State of the Union” proudly stating you have enough No votes on The Big Beautiful Bill. First you should always keep your concerning “in house” while it is being worked out. Going public with disagreement on the party is not wise. I really hope in the end you will be a YES vote. The bill is far from perfect. Does not have enough cuts in it but at least it is something. You should be putting out single page bills implementing the DOGE cuts to each department as well. You have a fiduciary responsibility to votes to spend our money wisely and stop the waste, fraud and abuse. Acting as you did on CNN today could be a reason we lose the Senate in the midterms. You have a year left to do your job before democrats take over so DO IT.
Ron Johnson (R-WI) is a grandstanding jerk. That’s why he wants to have CNN idiots kiss his butt.
Johnson thinks he’s the team coach - calling the plays... Rather than a minor player on the field. He rode the Tea Party - knew which way the wind was blowing - and that’s his big excuse for taking on the ‘elected’ coach? Hey Ron try being a team member for once - back Trump.
Effing loser. Primary the jerk.
I went to his site and asked him where his solutions/changes were.
