EXCERPT:
JOHNSON: "And the fact of the matter is, even calling it insurrection, it wasn’t. You know, I condemned the breach, I condemned the violence, but to say there were thousands of armed insurrectionists breaching the Capitol, intent on overthrowing the government is just simply false narrative. I was vilified for entering into the record a 14-page eyewitness account of a very knowledgeable observer that really laid out exactly what happened. I've been back in Wisconsin, I talked to people who were there. By and large it was all peaceful protests except for there were a number of people, basically agitators with the crowd and breached the Capitol, and that is really the truth of what happened here. But they like to paint that narrative so they can paint a broad brush and basically impugn 75 million Americans, call them potentially domestic terrorists and potential armed insurrectionist as well if they get another chance.”
