Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) expressed his frustration on Feb. 21 over the “double standard” applied by Democrats when it comes to prosecuting violent acts during riots and protests.

Johnson, a member and former chairman of the Senate Homeland Security Committee, said on Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures” program that Republicans are “troubled” by how Democrats fail to equally enforce the law against individuals who commit acts of violence, referring to violent rioters who terrorized cities and destroyed property over the summer during Black Lives Matter protests.
