Episode Details

Senator Ron Johnson is walking back controversial remarks he made questioning the authenticity of a photo of Senator Mitch McConnell, calling the reports “clickbait” and insisting he only heard rumors — not facts. The photo, released by McConnell’s office to show him at a leadership meeting, was later verified by The Washington Post’s digital forensics team as genuine, taken on the same day it was shared. Johnson also clarified he’s never spoken to McConnell about it and posted a photo of himself with his wife holding that day’s Washington Post, urging listeners to watch his full video statement.
