    Removal from committee assignments (2020)

    Jan. 1, 1900

    On December 2, 2020, Rudy Giuliani presented testimony on election fraud to Johnson and fellow Michigan House Oversight Committee members. Johnson accused Giuliani's witnesses of lying and later received death threats from alleged Trump supporters. On December 8, 2020, Johnson posted a Facebook video to her personal account. According to NPR, she said, "This is just a warning to you Trumpers. Be careful. Walk lightly." She also said, "And for those of you who are soldiers, you know how to do it. Do it right. Be in order. Make them pay." The following day, House Speaker Lee Chatfield (R) and Rep. Jason Wentworth (R) issued a statement saying Johnson's comments were "unbecoming of an elected official...Rep. Johnson has been removed from her committee assignments, and we are looking into further disciplinary action as the proper authorities conduct their own investigations." Johnson appeared on The ReidOut that evening and said, "I have a job to do. And my job is to protect democracy and my job is also to question people when they come to our hearings. And that’s what I was doing."
