Speaker Mike Johnson refused to condemn President Donald Trump’s blanket pardons for Jan. 6 rioters, even after one man tied to the Capitol attack was arrested for threatening to kill Rep. Hakeem Jeffries.
The Louisiana congressman addressed the arrest of Christopher P. Moynihan during a press conference Tuesday, where he danced around calling Trump’s pardon for all rioters a “mistake” and instead suggested his rivals on the left have done more to incite political violence.
“The violence on the left is far more prevalent than the violence on the right. Don’t make me go through the list. You all know it,” Johnson said.
