WASHINGTON – On Thursday, U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) released the following statement on President Biden’s announcement of further COVID-19 restrictions:

“To maintain their power and control, President Biden and the COVID gods want to keep us all in a state of fear. The Omicron variant, which South African doctors have said patients are so far experiencing ‘very, very mild symptoms’ and can be treated at home, gives them another opportunity to do so. Enough liberty has been lost during this pandemic. It’s time to let Americans, not federal bureaucrats, make decisions for themselves and their children. It’s time for Americans to reclaim their freedom and return to living a normal life.”
