Sen. Ron Johnson Defends Fake Electors Amid Controversy

Johnson fails to provide examples when challenged on claims of Democrats using alternate electors in the past.

Sen. Ron Johnson clashed with CNN's Kaitlan Collins over claims of fake electors in the 2020 presidential election.
Johnson defended the actions of Bob Spindell and nine others who served as alternate electors for Trump, despite calls for Spindell's resignation from the Wisconsin Election Commission.
Johnson accused Democrats of having used alternate electors in the past, but failed to provide specific examples when pressed by Collins.
Spindell and the other alternate electors recently signed a statement acknowledging Biden's victory in the 2020 election and promising not to serve as electors in any election where Trump is a candidate.
Despite the controversy, Republican Senate Majority Leader Devin LeMahieu has stated he will not rescind his appointment of Spindell to the Wisconsin Election Commission.
