There is no calculator powerful enough to tote up all the lies that Ron Johnson has told during the course of a political career that, from its very beginning, has sought to deceive the voters of Wisconsin into electing and reelecting a self-serving millionaire whose only real purpose in the U.S. Senate has been to enrich himself and his campaign donors.

But it is easy to identify Johnson’s biggest lie.

That was the political careerist’s claim that he wasn’t sure whether he wanted to run for a third term in the Senate.

When he was bidding for a second term in the fall of 2016, Johnson promised he would not run again. The headlines were straightforward and unequivocal: “Sen. Ron Johnson Says He Won’t Seek 3rd Term if Reelected in November.”

No one who was familiar with Johnson’s record of grasping for political power ever believed he was going to keep that promise. But Johnson kept suggesting otherwise until, finally, in January of this year he formally announced that he would break his commitment to the voters. The senator suggested he was doing so because he was concerned about the fate of the nation.
