Johnson was defending comments comparing the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection to violence connected to the social justice movement.
It's true there was more violence around the House chambers, including a protester who was shot and killed
The rioters didn't reach the Senate chambers until Senators had been evacuated, though one group was near the Senate before being led away by a lone police officer Eugene Goodman.
But Johnson is drawing a largely meaningless distinction since the Capitol protesters got in by attacking police, injuring more than 100 of them, and breaking doors and windows -- unquestionably violent actions.
