Interview with Senator Ron Johnson on Government Transparency and 9/11 Investigations

Published | Video Starts at 04:59

We haven't even begun to scratch the surface of exactly what happened on January 6th. I mean, the lack of, of security around the Capitol. We had more security. There's more of a game plan. We were briefed more under the Brett Kavanaugh hearings than we were for that inauguration or for that day [January 6th] when we knew there were gonna be tens, if not hundreds of thousands of people protesting the election. So why weren't we prepared? Why weren't there, you know, why wasn't there visible law enforcement on the West Capitol? They had bicycle racks, but they didn't have visible police presence. (04:59–05:15)
