Ron Johnson demands media cover phony border 'crisis' instead of George Floyd case



By Amy Lieu -March 31, 2021 5:15 PM

The media has covered GOP claims of a crisis at the southern border extensively.

Wisconsin Sen. Ron Johnson claimed in a recent interview that the mainstream media wasn't covering the so-called "crisis" at the U.S.-Mexico border because it was too focused on covering the trial of Derek Chauvin, the Minneapolis police officer who killed George Floyd in May 2020.

Johnson made the claim in a Tuesday interview with local Wisconsin affiliate WCLO.

"As long as the press is not by and large — the mainstream media’s not particularly interested in this — all the coverage right now is on the George Floyd trial, right? How much of the mainstream media is actually focusing on the border?" he said.
