On February 15, Senator Ron Johnson discussed Trumps 2021 impeachment trial on The Jay Weber Show on WISN Radio. He told listeners that he did not think that the January 6, 2021 breach of the Capitol was an “armed insurrection” and continued by saying the rhetoric being spewed by the Democrat’s is very hypocritical. It was not Trump supporters that perpetrated the violence, but rather “groups of agitators”.
โWhen you hear the word โarmed,โ donโt you think of firearms? Hereโs the questions I would have liked to askโhow many firearms were confiscated? How many shots were fired? Iโm only aware of one, and Iโll defend that law enforcement officer for taking that shot. It was a tragedy, but I think there was only one,โ Senator Johnson said.
โThe hundreds of thousands of people that attend those Trump rallies, those are the people that love this country. They never would have done what happened on Jan. 6,โ he said. โThat is a group of people that love freedom. That is a group of people โฆ we need to unify and keep on our side.โ
