Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) was confronted by a liberal activist at Milwaukee's General Mitchell International Airport on Friday as he returned to his home state from Washington, D.C.
Lauren Windsor, executive producer of the liberal web-based program The Undercurrent who was on the same flight, asked Johnson about text messages disclosed in a Jan. 6 committee hearing this week that showed the senator's chief of staff, Sean Riley, asking a staffer for then-Vice President Mike Pence about delivering a slate of"alternate" electors. On a radio show Thursday, Johnson said his team believed the papers came from the office of Rep. Mike Kelly .
Windsor kept pressing the senator, asking if it was normal for his chief of staff to conduct business without making Johnson aware. Johnson reiterated his belief that the list came from Kelly. When asked whether the senator played a role in the attempt to overturn the election results, Johnson initially told Windsor that he played a"two-minute role" before changing his answer and saying he had no role. He also told the activist to"go away.
