"It's unfortunate. I revere our Constitution. I revere these institutions, including the office of the presidency. It would be nice if everybody conducted themselves, I guess, the way we would here in Wisconsin," Johnson continued.
Johnson was asked about Trump's behavior, but didn't point to a specific incident during the interview. His comments come as Congress is locked in an impeachment fight fueled by the president's interactions with the leader of Ukraine.
Johnson, who has emerged as one of Trump's most vocal supporters on Ukraine, said on Monday that "there has been a concerted effort from Day 1 to sabotage this administration."
"I don't agree with everything he's doing, but I have to give him a great deal of credit," Johnson said.
