Last night, Senate Homeland Security & Governmental Affairs Committee Chairman Ron Johnson delivered a powerful prime-time address at the 2016 Republican National Convention.
Underscoring the importance of strong leadership, Chairman Johnson informed Hillary Clinton and Senator Russ Feingold "what difference it makes when America’s leaders cannot be trusted."
Just like his latest TV and digital ad, Chairman Johnson also highlighted Senator Feingold’s dangerously weak votes against our national security.
From his lone vote against extending the lone wolf terrorist provision to his vote against creating the Department of Homeland Security, it is abundantly clear that Senator Feingold’s naive outlook is ill-suited for a world in which conflicts continue to escalate.
The world, as Chairman Johnson explained, is "simply too dangerous" to give a fourth term to Senator Feingold – and to give Barack Obama’s third term to Hillary Clinton.
