Wisconsin senator Ron Johnson, who has built up a reputation as a purveyor of misinformation, made the provocative suggestion on Sean Hannity’s Fox Newsshow.
“Vladimir gets the waiver to build his pipeline, our workers get pink slips,” Mr Hannity complained, referring to Mr Biden’s decision not to sanction a Russian company building a new oil and gas pipeline. “Would I be wrong to interpret that, that maybe Joe thinks that Russia has him compromised?”
“Well, you wouldn’t be wrong to be suspicious that maybe that’s the problem there,” Senator Johnson replied.
