@marynelson8 there's been a drumbeat of criticism against the guy, but it's largely misleading and overstated.

Just for one example, even going to the article you linked to, Johnson was quoted as saying Trump should pursue every legal option for responding to the election.

But that's just the way elections are supposed to work. There are legal structures in place to make sure we can have confidence in them.

It's not particularly extreme or even out of the mainstream when you get past the rhetoric.

@volkris @marynelson8 and voting against certifying the election. And filing a brief that he was advised was unconstitutional. And saying that Trump was anxiously awaiting the list of names that signed onto it (perceived by other Republicans as a threat). And worked for an anti-lgbtq+ group. And proposed federal legislation based on desantis' don't say gay bill.

I'm sorry, what were you saying about it being overblown?

@basichornyhubby

I mean, you just listed off a bunch of claims that have been overblown.

So... those.

@marynelson8

@volkris @marynelson8 I think we have a fundamental misunderstanding of what the word 'overblown' means relative to 'these things all happened and are accurate'.

Enjoy your day.

@basichornyhubby except that these claims have been debunked by checking out primary sources.

Yes, this is how these claims have been spun, but they're not factually true.
