Sen. Ron Johnson: Report on tax dollar use for vacation travel ‘a fully coordinated attack’
Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) on Thursday took to Twitter to push back on a report from the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that the senator has been using tax dollars to travel between Washington, D.C., and a Florida vacation home, calling the piece “the politics of personal destruction.”
“This isn’t journalism, it’s advocacy,” Johnson said. “It is a fully coordinated attack by the Dem Party and their allies in the media.”
“When the truth isn’t on their side, Dems and MSM media lie, distort, and engage in the politics of personal destruction,” Johnson continued. “Wisconsin and America deserve better.”

The senator’s comments come after federal records included in the Journal Sentinel article indicated that Johnson had been reimbursed with federal money for 19 flights between Fort Myers, Fla., and Washington, D.C., between 2013 and 2021.
Johnson spokeswoman Alexa Henning responded to the article, arguing that the money was used for legitimate purposes.
