Tammy Baldwin slams GOP for wanting to 'whitewash' Jan. 6
Ron John the clown ticked off that Democrats now have anniversary to 'pound on'
Speaking on the U.S. Senate floor Thursday, Democrat Tammy Baldwin called out her Wisconsin colleague Ron Johnson, accusing him and other Republicans of trying to downplay the threat and bury the truth about the violent assault on the U.S. Capitol by supporters of then-President Donald Trump one year ago.
"Far too many would like to whitewash (that) violent day and pretend the insurrection was not an existential threat to our democracy, said Baldwin, one of a number of Democrats in Congress who used the anniversary of the Capitol riot to remember and decry the events of that day.
My Republican counterpart from the great state of Wisconsin even called Jan 6. a peaceful protest, said Baldwin, referring to Johnson. These (comments) fly in the face of the truth. This is not right and we cannot allow the truth to be buried.
In his public comments, Johnson has both condemned and downplayed the violence, asserting the threat to the Capitol was overstated, blaming a small number of agitators for egging the crowd on, and accusing Democrats of using the event to paint Trump supporters as dangerous.
