Johnson has been a contributor on MSNBC.[20] However, he was temporarily "benched" in February 2020, after referring to female African American supporters of 2020 presidential candidate, Bernie Sanders, as being from “the Island of Misfit Black Girls”.[21] Johnson has made several other highly reported on, noteworthy statements regarding the 2020 Presidential Election during his time on MSNBC. In January 2019, Johnson stated that Senator Bernie Sanders's presidential campaign was done and that he would drop out by August.[22]


Johnson is frequently called a "professional wrong person" by anyone paying attention to the ridiculous things that he says.
