Ron Johnson: I didn't feel threatened during the Capitol riot

“And mainly because I knew that even though those thousands of people that were marching the Capitol were trying to pressure people like me to vote the way they wanted me to vote, I knew those were people that loved this country, that truly respect law enforcement, would never do anything to break a law, and so I wasn’t concerned,” Johnson told The Joe Pags Show, which airs nationally from WOAI in San Antonio, Texas.

“Now had the tables been turned, now Joe this will get me in trouble, had the tables been turned and President Trump won the election and those were tens of thousands of Black Lives Matter and Antifa protesters, I might have been a little concerned.”

His comments to the radio show host ricocheted across social media, with some calling it racist.
