7:16Now PlayingRepublican Senator Ron Johnson was left in a state of panic after Meet The Press host Chuck Todd pointed out his hypocrisy this past weekend. Johnson was asked why Hunter Biden's business deals were being investigated and NOT Jared Kushner's (because Kushner received loans from countries WHILE he was serving under Trump.) Johnson couldn't handle the question and went into full meltdown mode, as Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins points out.

On Sunday morning on Meet the Press host, Chuck Todd was able to grill Republican Senator Ron Johnson from the State of Wisconsin about why he is so obsessed with investigating Hunter Biden for corruption when he has completely turned a blind eye to the open corruption of a guy like Jared Kushner. And unlike Hunter Biden, Jared Kushner was actually a part of a presidential administration. And as Chuck Todd points out in the clip, which I'm gonna show you in just a second, Chuck Todd points out, Jared Kushner was receiving loans for his company while he was in office from the countries he was overseas, making deals with like everything they have accused Hunter and Joe Biden of doing Jared Kushner did it. And that's not speculation. He got the money. He, he would overseas, he talked to these foreign countries, the foreign leaders, and then next thing you know, he's got money from them. Isn't that exactly what y'all are accusing Hunter Biden and Joe Biden of doing? Well, Jared did it. The difference is when Hunter and Joe Biden did it in quotation marks, they were both private citizens. So there's literally nothing illegal about that. Jared, on the other hand, was a member of a presidential administration. So here is Chuck Todd giving it to Ron Johnson and Ron Johnson being too panicked and confused to even know how to respond to it. Take a look.
Were I, I have skepticism of both parties. I sit here with skepticism, a lot of people's work, and I'm curious, are you, were you at all concerned, uh, this your Senate Democrats wanna investigate Jared Kushner's, uh, loan from the Qy government when he was working in the government negotiating, uh, many things in the Middle East. Are you not as concerned about, are you not concerned about that? And I say that because it seems to me, if you're concerned about what Hunter Biden did, you should be equally outraged about what Jared Kushner did.
I I I'm, I'm concerned about getting the truth. I don't tar individuals, target individuals.
I target the truth. You're targeting Hunter Biden. My, my, my concern editor. You're targeting an individual.
Chuck, Chuck. My, my concern, my, you know, Chuck, you know, part, part of the problem, and, and this is pretty obvious to anybody watching this, is you don't invite me on to interview me. You invite me on, argue with me. You know, I'm just trying to lay out the facts that certainly Senator Grass and I uncovered, they were suppressed, they were censored, they interfered in the 2020 election. Conservatives understand that. Unfortunately, liberals in the media don't. And that's part of the things that, uh, part, part of the reasons our politics are inflamed is we do not have an unbiased, uh, media. We don't, it's unfortunate I'm all for free press.
It needs
To be more unbiased. Senator misinformation, go to partisan Senator Censorship and Suppress Senator.
We're trying to do this primarily from facts from the left partisan ca look, you can go back on your partisan cable cocoon and talk about media bias all you want. I understand it's part of your identity. Let me move to what happened in Brazil.
One. So, yeah, you know how you can always tell when you're winning is when somebody brings up a valid point and you, uh, can't refute it. So you just accuse them of being biased against you, right? Which is exactly what Ron Johnson did right there. And no, that's not actually what you do when you're winning. That's what you do when you're a big fat loser, which is what Ron Johnson is. It's what Republicans are.
