Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wisc.) said on Monday that he has been “mercilessly” attacked because he pushed back on a false narrative surrounding the Jan. 6 Capitol breach.

“I have been attacked and criticized because I pushed back on the narrative that there were thousands of armed insurrectionists. And that’s just part of a small part of the 74 million Americans that voted for President Trump that also need to be suspect of being potential domestic terrorists or also potentially armed insurrectionists,” Johnson told C-SPAN. “This is a false narrative.”
