Ron Johnson Used Private Jet as COVID Precaution While Blaming Media, Democrats for Creating Hysteri
Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson, a Republican, has been using a private plane to travel to and from Washington, D.C., as a precaution during the coronavirus pandemic despite publicly saying that the media and Democrats have overexaggerated the virus' threats.
Jake Sherman, a reporter with Politico, first reported on Johnson's new mode of travel in a tweet on Monday. A spokesperson for Johnson's office later told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that Johnson started using the private plane, which is owned by his children's company, earlier this year for "safety and logistical reasons." According to federal aviation records obtained by the paper, Johnson has flown from his home state to the nation's capital and back 14 times since early May.
Johnson's spokesperson, Ben Voelkel, said that the senator's decision to fly in a private plane did not contradict previous statements Johnson has made about the severity of the virus.
"Senator Johnson has repeatedly said he respects this disease, does not downplay its severity or human toll, has supported the use of masks in appropriate situations and does everything he can to avoid getting or spreading it," Voelkel told the paper. "Flying a private charter is entirely consistent with his public statements."
