Hannity, perhaps concerned about the closeness of the race, asked Johnson, “What happened there?” Johnson first replied, “I want to thank you and your audience for the support you gave to my campaign. It really was crucial.” He then claimed there were several factors at play, one of which was how “the media is completely allied against us.” The “education system,” he added, was as well.
