Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., during a recent appearance on CNN, pushed back on an allegation that Wisconsin Republicans falsely claimed to be electors for Donald Trump in the 2020 presidential election with his own claim: Democrats have done the same thing "repeatedly in all kinds of states."
"The Source" host Kaitlan Collins was discussing a recently settled lawsuit against ten members of the GOP in Johnson's state who fraudulently stated that the former president had won the election. The suit was prepared by the Institute for Constitutional Advocacy and Protection and the pro-democracy group Law Forward, which sought $200,000 in damages from each individual. No fine was handed down, but each Republican elector conceded that President Joe Biden was the true winner of Wisconsin in 2020 and also agreed to not serve as an elector in the 2024 race or any other in which Trump is a candidate.
