Ron Johnson Floats New Conspiracy Theory That Multiple Shooters Tried To Kill Trump

Wisconsin Republican Sen. Ron Johnson said this morning on Fox News that audio recordings taken when disgraced former president Donald Trump was shot last week in Pennsylvania suggest there may have been several shooters who were part of the plot. However, he was unable to provide a shred of evidence to support his conspiracy theory.

Speaking with Fox host Maria Bartiromo, Johnson was asked about a chart he had given Trump before the rally.

“Wow, that chart that you gave President Trump ended up being incredibly important,” Bartiromo noted.

“So, you know, call it serendipity, divine intervention, it’ll be obviously an interesting footnote in history,” Johnson said. “I’m glad I was able to play that small part in saving his life.”

And then came his suggestion that there may have been more than one shooter.

“If you took video, save it, make a backup copy. We can glean things in terms of audio, in terms of where the shots came from.”

Bartiromo asked, “So, are you questioning whether or not there was a second shooter? Is that what you’re questioning, or if the shooter had a different gun?”

“I saw an extremely convincing video online, I know it’s all over the place,” Johnson replied. “There were three distinct shots early on, followed by another five in more staccato, more rapidly fired, and then the final one, which we believe took the shooter out.”

“How do you explain that?” Bartiromo inquired.

“I don’t know. I’m not an expert,” Johnson admitted. “But the individual putting that video out says it clearly shows that there were at least three different weapons fired that day.”

Oh, so there’s a video on the internet? Well since we know no one has ever faked video or audio and then posted it online, that must be proof of Johnson’s specious claim, right?

Before this is all over with, don’t be surprised if Ron Johnson and his GOP colleagues claim Lee Harvey Oswald returned from the grave to try and gun down Trump. And the sad part is, the morons who watch Fox will believe every damn word of it.
