Misleading comparisons alert! Chris Capper Liebenthal breaks down Sen. Ron Johnson’s flawed use of VAERS data on Newsmax, which mixed death reports from Tylenol, ivermectin, and COVID vaccines over wildly different timeframes. His take on “informed consent” risks spreading misinformation. Details here: https://crooksandliars.com/2025/09/ron-johnson-compares-apples-kumquats-blame Praise to Liebenthal for this clear critique. #SenRonJohnson #ChrisCapperLiebenthal #VAERS #Tylenol #Ivermectin #COVID19Vaccine #Misinformation #Newsmax #VaccineData #HealthCommunication

And here's Cleta Mitchell suggesting that the reason Ron Johnson didn't play an even bigger role in the fake electors plot was his own incompetence.

Ron Johnson has repeatedly tried to play innocent about his role in the fake electors plot, suggesting he was just facilitating a delivery, didn't know anything about it, his involvement lasted only minutes, etc. Texts released today show he was pushing for an alternate slate of electors since the first week of December.
