Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) said the Trump supporters who stormed the U.S. Capitol in January didn’t worry him but that he might have been concerned if they had been supporters of Black Lives Matter, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Said Johnson: “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.”
He added: “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.”
