GOP Sen. Johnson vows rigorous COVID-19 investigation if Republicans win Senate

Wisconsin Republican Sen. Ron Johnson on Thursday vowed that, should Republicans take the Senate majority in 2024, he would pursue a rigorous investigation into the federal government's handling of the COVID-19 pandemic and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) eschewing of potential non-vaccine treatments.

"[I]n terms of holding people accountable, I mean, I don't have a chairmanship right now," he said on the "Just the News, No Noise" television show. "So I don't have subpoena authority. If we win the majority, I would be the chairman of the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigation[s], [which] has the strongest subpoena power of any committee in the Senate because we're supposed to be the premier investigatory body."

"But you know, I only have five staff members. That's how unserious the senate is about investigations. But I've been, biding my time writing more than 60 oversight letters to these federal health agencies to lay the foundation for real hearings and real discovery. And you can rest assured that I will go after this with tenacity," he vowed.

And just what do you think he can do...without the Senate and Biden's magic pen.

Find a Dem to go after.

Amen. Johnson is my senator and I’m proud of him and his work.

Go pick on the democraps indeed. Like lousy lessie (she’s so proud of that) Tammy Baldwin. She’s up for election in November. Let’s focus folks.

Trump coming to Green Bay Tuesday. đź’š

I like Senator Johnson a lot but I want the top priority to be closing the border and expelling the 8 million illegals who have crossed since Biden became President. Then we will work on the other 15 million.

“All their promises last time were BS.”

And when they lose the House, which I suspect they prefer, they’ll whine that they don’t get support.

If they don’t intend to take action, any investigation is theatre and wasted time.

They do inend to take action when Trump returns - until then the DOJ would be a waste of time. In the meantime, they are showing the public that MSM claims that all concerns are just misinformation aren't true; Sen. Johnson and others are getting information onto the public record and the MSM hates that.

Johnson is not up for re-election this year. But this may cause Pfizer to increase their contributions to vulnerable Democrat senators who are up for re-election in 2024.

They did nothing when they had the Senate and House under Trump. They did nothing about Bengazi. Johnson just got a trillion dollar pork bill passed. McCarthy raised the debt ceiling. In power or out they do nothing but talk.

The republicans fought Trump on border wall funding. That’s why he had to use the military budget to build what he did.

“ Pssssst...The debt ceiling is ALWAYS raised.”

My point exactly.
