Ron Johnson presses for Secret Service to push protest zone farther from GOP convention

Source: The Hill

05/19/24 10:54 AM ET


Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) on Sunday said he is urging the Secret Service to push the protest zone farther away from the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee in an effort to prevent conflict at the event.

“The Secret Service — they use their criteria, they set this plan — and now the director of Secret Service [is] saying, well, they have the authority to set the plan, they don’t have the authority to change it,” Johnson said in an interview on NewsNation’s “The Hill Sunday.”

“They put the protest zone a block away from the actual convention site. The initial plan had the entrances on the north and south side adjacent to that park.

You know, there’s no control of that park. There’s no fences around it, so it’s a gathering site for all kinds of potential mayhem. So, this is a very obvious concern. It ought to be corrected,” Johnson said.

It's called the "First Amendment" and the right "to petition the government for redress" and THEY are part of "the government". It's not just the "religion Amendment".

Hold the convention in MOSCOW. They fund the entire GQP apparatus, top to bottom. There you can silence any hint of discourse. Even shoot em like your Orange God Side Kick wants to.

Eff these snowflakes if they can't handle criticism. They sure love to dish it out. What was their saying? Oh yeah, Fuck Your Feelings. Well they can suck it as far as I'm concerned.

You can just shut. The. Fuck. Up.

So what if you have to hear a bit of protestors’ chants? As much as you’d like it to be, this isn’t Russia. And as much as you, the rest of the GOPQ might want otherwise, the 1st amendment still protects the rest of us as much as it does your loud mouthed, ignorant, hateful, MAGAty-assed voters.

If you don’t like it, why not go back to Russia, “Red Square Ron”? I’m sure Putin could find a job for you. Like maybe as cannon fodder in Ukraine. At least then, you’d be fucking useful for once: Your bullet riddled body would be fertilizer for Ukrainian sunflower/wheat fields once the Russians are gone.

Johnson did downplay the violence of breaking into the Capitol.
