Ron Johnson: Jan. 6 narrative will continue to morph as more security footage emerges

The Democrat-constructed narrative of the Jan. 6 riot will continue to morph as more security footage from the Capitol emerges and people get to see that hundreds of protesters were let into the Capitol through a door left open and unguarded at times by police, says former Senate Homeland Security Committee Chairman Ron Johnson (R-Wisc.).

In a wide-ranging interview Wednesday night on the "Just the News, No Noise" television show, Johnson cautioned that the Capitol riot narrative has so far been constructed of fragments from different partisans, starting with the second impeachment of Donald Trump and then the House Democrats' Jan. 6 committee.

"We're many years down the road here, and there's still so many questions that remain unanswered," Johnson said.

The latest fragment surfaced this week when Fox News host Tucker Carlson released video footage showing that the controversial Jan. 6 protester known as the "QAnon Shaman" was escorted by police through the Capitol without being arrested. The Capitol Police say they were in de-escalation mode and did not want to arrest him at the time of the riot.

"During the impeachment, I mean, that was a highly biased story, through those slickly edited videos by real professionals," Johnson recalled. "And so now you got Tucker, just showing the other side of the story, part of the story. But there is still so much of the story that is not being told about January 6."

Johnson has been an absolute beast of a hero. I thank God for him.

The video proves the “de-escalation” excuse to be false. The halls that we saw with the cops and the shaman were mostly empty. They could have easily escorted him to a empty room and held him there and it appears that nobody would have known it.

Schumer will eventually have to claim the Qamnon Shaman has spent years in jail for not having a proper visitors ID.

The whole Jan 6th insurrection story always was a scam, and everybody knew it. The GOP just allowed the media and the Dems to run with it and even put together a Kangaroo court to bring it home. Just pathetic that this happens in America.

It would be fascinating to know just how much the Democrats have spent running their numerous witch hunts and hoaxes against Trump. An enormous amount of taxpayer money has been expended on dishonest, partisan crusades against him. The number must be in the hundreds of millions of dollars by now.

Schumer should have to share a jail cell with him for inciting a riot on the steps of the SCOTUS.

Because of limited funds, I rarely donate money to out-of-state candidates, but I donated to Sen Ron Johnson for sure. I love the guy.
