Sen. Johnson needs to apologize and admit his imaginary informant doesn't exist.

Sen. Johnson went on television and claimed that "an informant" revealed information about a "SECRET SOCIETY."

It was made up bullshit. The "informant" was a fabrication.

Johnson humiliated himself and demonstrated that he is an ignoramus. But what he also did was mislead the American people by claiming that there was a treasonous cabal working within the structures of our government that had the goal of bringing down our democracy. It is a disgraceful act for an elected official.

In another time, there would be calls for his resignation. If he had a shred of dignity he would apologize and resign. Sadly, it is obvious that dignity, along with imaginary informants, does not exist in the republican party.

That's your "informant". The fabrication is that he is reliable.

the BS meter went off. You could tell from how he was responding to the Fox host's question that he was lying.
