Ron Johnson’s big opening section of WISGOP convention is complaining about his opposition to adding a day off for Juneteenth, then coming to Milwaukee’s 50th annual Juneteenth celebration—and getting booed. 
Johnson angry that national press reported on him getting booed rather than the earlier interaction in which someone selling him cake was friendly to her customer. Clear instance of media bias.
Johnson’s beef with the insurrection was that it disrupted a “very important debate about unelected judges usurping the duty of state legislatures” in the 2020 election (v slight paraphrase, worth checking the tape on wiseye.org)
Johnson goes on a long jag attacking liberalism/socialism/Great Society for, in his argument, destroying African-American families. (“Yes, I was born into privilege: a family with two parents of deep faith who loved me.”) Goes on to attack BLM and critical race theory.
Johnson ends by calling for GOP to set its mission as uniting the country through acts of kindness.
With a straight face!
While dividing the country through policies of oppression, plutocracy, and cruelty—which is the point.
