Speaker Mike Johnson recently talked about the different ways people have reacted to the January 6 Capitol riot and the recent protests in Los Angeles.
When it comes to the January 6 rioters, Speaker Johnson’s view is that those who broke the law faced the right consequences under the legal system, even though many will be pardoned. He said that the courts handled the cases, and those who were found guilty received proper punishment. While he did not go into detail about what those punishments were, his comments suggested that any pardons given were decided after looking at the legal process and possibly other factors that might have lessened their blame.
