Johnson: ‘We’ve Got To Compete With Free Speech’ … from Crooks & Liars Chris capper Liebenthal

When a reporter asked Sen Ron Johnson about President Elmo trying to buy the election for Wisconsin Supreme Court, he served up a big, old bowl of word salad:

REPORTER: How do you take the money out of politics and stop this arms race?

ROJO: I don’t think you do. Listen, people have… You know, so, I don’t like how expensive these races become but in in terms of what’s at stake and what, you know, how much we’re spending in comparison to other things, people, compared to how much we spend in peanut butter a year That’s not the issue. The issue, first of all, is free speech. And that would be something else I’ve got to thank Elon Musk for doing is buying X, Twitter. Probably was not a particularly good investment, but he reopened that to free speech. So, again, this is about free speech and when you’ve got the leftist media, and I’m looking at you, okay, controlled with media, by and large, controlled by leftists The only way you can compete is with money and paid media. It’s not a fair fight It’s not level playing field, but we’ve got to be able to compete with free speech

Now, I like me some peanut butter as much as the nest guy, but if there is no comparison between the $25+ million that President Elmo is spending on an election and what I spend on peanut butter in a year. And Elmo doesn’t even live here.

But I digress. RoJo is absolutely correct when he said that they are competing with free speech.
