Ron Johnson: I Wasn’t Talking About Capitol Rioters, The Vast People I Know Who Support Trump Would Not Riot

RUSH EXCERPT:

JOHNSON: “Well, first of all, I condemned and I wasn’t talking about the people who actually stormed the capitol and assaulted police officers. I condemned that as I condemn, quite honestly, anybody that rioted in the summer leftist activists sparked riots as well. I was just talking about the vast majority of people that I know that are Trump supporters that love law enforcement. Support law enforcement would never even think of rioting or breaking the law. That’s the vast majority of people that came here to Washington, D.C. Sure to protest legally. To say try to put pressure on people like knee vote the right way. But not to storm the capitol. Not to riot. And so, again, it’s completely been blown out of proportion. There was nothing racial in my comments whatsoever. The left is happy to use the race card whenever they can. This is about riots and rioters and leftist anarchist rioted 570 different cities caused $1.2 billion worth of damage. 25 people lost their lives. 700 law enforcement officers were assaulted and injured during those riots but the left wants to forget about those. Apparently those were righteous riots. I’m trying to push back on their false narrative and they are attacking me for it.”
