“To call what happened on Jan. 6 an ‘armed insurrection,” I just think is inaccurate,” Sen. Ron Johnson says at Milwaukee Rotary Club just now.
Johnson argued few weapons were confiscated but protesters “did teach us how you can use a flag pole”

I hate to say it, but I agree with him.
The events of Jan. 6, 2021 were not an armed insurrection.
They were a failed coup attempt.

Ron Johnson admits 'one hour' involvement in election plot after claiming it was just 'seconds'
David Edwards
October 04, 2022
Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) reportedly admitted that his involvement in a plot to overthrow the 2020 election spanned one hour after previously claiming it only lasted a "couple of seconds."
Following the election, Johnson said that he was asked to give an alternate slate of electors to then-Vice President Mike Pence in an effort to give the presidency to then-President Donald Trump.
"I had virtually no involvement," the senator told a local reporter last month. "Literally, my involvement lasted seconds, OK?"
But on Tuesday, Johnson told NBC News correspondent Natasha Korecki that his involvement lasted "one hour."
"We turned over the texts," he insisted. "I think the [Jan. 6 Committee] smeared me. They had the full text between my chief of staff and that White House aide. They didn't release the full text. It shows the vice president or his staff was expecting these things, was supposed to get them through the post office. Jan. 6 Committee didn't release those."

This is a shift in language
In early 2021, Sen. Johnson said about Jan 6: "this didn't seem like an armed insurrection to me"
Today: "There weren't thousands of armed insurrectionists"

Republicans always accusing their opponent of what they're guilty of. Johnson turned against America when he was involved in the fake electors scam. Barnes really has some zingers

Then it's nice that so many pharmacies are now offering delivery of medications and most insurance plans offer mail delivery options that are often less expensive than picking it up locally.
