Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) said the violence and shootings that happened in Kenosha might have been averted had the governor taken the help when it was first offered by the federal government.

“What the president did was he offered to surge manpower resources, so the violence could end," Johnson said during a CNN interview Sunday. “The governor did not accept that that day. That night, tragically, two people lost their lives because citizens took matters into their own hands.”
