Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), in response to the House’s vote to establish a Jan. 6 commission, said that the Capitol breach on that day was largely a “peaceful protest.”
Johnson told Fox News that the narrative pushed by Democrats, a small number of Republicans, and some corporate media outlets that the Jan. 6 breach was “an insurrection” is false. That narrative came to the center stage during the January impeachment effort against former President Donald Trump.
