'I'd rather be somewhere else': Ron Johnson suggests he doesn't want to be in the Senate

The Wisconsin Republican has been mounting a campaign against his own reelection for months.
Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) told a right-wing host on Wednesday that he does not actually want to be a U.S. senator saying he only took the job out of love for his country.
Johnson, who is considering whether to stick with his two-term limit pledge or run for reelection in 2022, made the comments during an appearance on Wendy Bell Radio. The remarks were first flagged by the liberal opposition research group American Bridge 21st Century.
Bell is a conservative talk show host who has embraced the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrectionists. She was fired from Pittsburgh's KDKA Radio last fall after calling for Black Lives Matters protesters to be killed. Bell was also fired from WTAE-TV in March 2016 for making racist comments in the wake of a mass shooting. She was dismissed from WJAS-AM in May, though an official at the company would not disclose details, saying only that it was a "personnel matter.".................

(9,944 posts)... this means he's going to break his pledge and run for yet another term... he's really saying he "hates big government" but will sit in the office and stop it from working for as long as he lives.

(32,584 posts)By-the-way, this article says Ron Johnson spoke on Wendy Bell's show. Wendy Bell is a diehard ChumpHumper, angry, bouncing-off-the-walls conservative. She's been fired 3 times in the last couple of years from various Pittsburgh radio stations. She's done in Pittsburgh radio. It looks like she has a webcast now.

Polling data in 2016 did not suggest a win for you and it was shock when Russ Feingold lost
