Senator Ron Johnson is a total gangster.
Reporters asked him his opinion on Matt Gaetz, and he unfolded a printout of the picture of Rachel Levine and Sam Brinton and asked reporters whether they harassed Democrats over those nominees 😂

Under fire from critics including her hometown Chicago newspaper, Oprah Winfrey is now seeking to explain the $1 million fee paid to her production company for a town hall event supporting Kamala Harris.
Before the election, Winfrey's Harpo Productions helped stage a star-studded town hall event for the vice president in Michigan as the billionaire entertainment mogul enthusiastically endorsed Harris to be the next president of the United States.
The Harris campaign footed the bill for organizing the town hall and made a $1 million payment to Winfrey's production company, Harpo Productions.
When first publicly confronted by TMZ with the news on Monday, Winfrey appeared to give a denial.
'Not true' she said, when a cameraman asked her about the payment. 'I was paid nothing. Ever.'
But Winfrey is now scrambling to clarify her remarks in an Instagram post on The Shade Room show account.
'Usually I am reluctant to respond to rumors in general, but these days I realize that if you don’t stop a lie, it just gets bigger,' she wrote.
Winfrey said her production team billed the $1 million fee to the Harris campaign to host the Michigan event on her behalf.
'[M]y production company Harpo was asked to bring in set design, lights, cameras, microphones, crew, producers, and every other item necessary (including the benches and chairs we sat on) to put on a live production,' she wrote.
'Winfrey clarified that she personally did not get 'one dime' from the campaign.
'I did not take any personal fee,' she said. 'However the people who worked on that production needed to be paid. And were. End of story.'
The event featured virtual appearances by A-listers including Julia Roberts, Meryl Streep, Jennifer Lopez and Bryan Cranston.
Despite the splashy celebrity-focused event in the swing state Harris lost Michigan, and the presidential election, to Donald Trump
The Chicago Tribune blasted the billionaire former talk show host over her decision to allow her company to accept the payment, suggesting Winfrey should have paid her workers' fees herself.
'Frankly, $1 million is not all that much to Winfrey and so we very much doubt that she was seeking any kind of personal payday from her chosen candidate,' the editorial board wrote in a column.
'But she does own Harpo and serves as its chairwoman and CEO. The production fees should have been a campaign donation.'

Mike Pence doesn’t approve of Donald Trump’s supposed plan to pardon Jan. 6 rioters and is “literally praying” that both the president-elect and his VP pick JD Vance honor their oaths when they take office.
“I don’t think the president should pardon anyone who assaulted a police officer at the United States Capitol on Jan. 6,” the former vice president said at The Dispatch’s Summit 2024, according to a tweet shared by the outlet on Tuesday.
“Karen and I are literally praying that President-elect Trump and Vice President-elect Vance will stand on the commitments that they will make when they raise their right hands on that day,” he added. “And with God’s grace and the support of the American people, I believe they will.”
Former vice president Pence, who was met with signs reading “Hang Mike Pence” as well as an actual noose on that chaotic January day in 2021, notably did not endorse Trump in his re-election campaign. When asked if Trump will go off the rails in his second term, his former running mate said, “The American people are just not going to have it.”
