‘Morning Joe’ Rips Ron Johnson: ‘Keeps Spitting Out Conspiracy Theories That Are Easily Proven Wrong’

EXCERPT:

SCARBOROUGH: "All he had to do is look at the date. And if he had just looked at the date, he would have known that for all practical purposes, the Hillary Clinton investigation had ended, what, one month before? It was over. And Barack Obama was three days away from meeting — I believe it was three days away — from meeting Vladimir Putin where he was going to confront him on the Russians trying to interfere in the 2016 election. Now — a staff person with six days’ experience on the Hill could look at the dates and the timeline and have him take off his Harry Potter wizard hat and say, 'Sir, you better not go down the rabbit trail like you did before, when you talked about the Harry Potter secret society that was inside the F.B.I. when that involved the joke about a Vladimir Putin calendar.' Now, Rick, if this were by a back-bencher, it might not be as significant. But Ron Johnson is the chairman of the Homeland Security Committee for the United States Senate. And he keeps spitting out conspiracy theories that are easily proven wrong."
