Click here for an article entitled "Ron Johnson says Capitol attackers 'love this country' but he would have felt unsafe if Black Lives Matter stormed building instead," by Molly Beck, in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, about her Wisconsin senator, Ron Johnson, and remarks he made on a radio show about the violent attack on the Capitol by the Trump crew on January 6.
Johnson had previously said that he "didn't feel threatened" during the attack. He reiterated that, and said:
"I knew those were people who love this country, that truly respect law enforcement, would never do anything to break the law, so I wasn't concerned," Johnson said about the predominantly white crowd that marched to the U.S. Capitol to overturn a presidential election and triggered an assault that left five people dead, 140 police officers injured and windows smashed.
"Now, had the tables been turned, and Joe — this is going to get me in trouble — had the tables been turned and President Trump won the election and tens of thousands of Black Lives Matter and antifa, I might have been a little concerned," Johnson said during an interview with syndicated radio show host Joe "Pags" Pagliarulo.
