Republican Senator comments on teargassing peaceful protesters for a photo op:
SEN. RON JOHNSON (R-Wis.): Didn’t really see it.
SEN. BILL CASSIDY (R-La.): I didn’t follow, I’m sorry.
SEN. PAT ROBERTS (R-Kan.): I don’t have any comment on that.
SEN. MITT ROMNEY (R-Utah): I didn’t watch it closely enough to know.
SEN. MIKE ENZI (R-Wyo.): Sorry, I’m late for lunch.
SEN. ROB PORTMAN (R-Ohio): I’m late for lunch.
SEN. LISA MURKOWSKI (R-Alaska): Not the America I know.
SEN. BEN SASSE (R-Neb.) in a statement: I’m against clearing out a peaceful protest for a photo op that treats the Word of God as a political prop.
SEN. MITCH McCONNELL (R-Ky.) in a Tuesday news conference: Apparently there were few to no injuries, and no one got killed, and there was a minimum amount of looting. That’s a heck of a way to feel like you might have had a good night.
