Johnson has also made significant efforts to downplay and rewrite the events of January 6, claiming Sunday that the riot was not an armed insurrection because people had stayed "within the rope lines" in the Capitol.
"We've seen plenty of video of people in the Capitol, and they weren't rioting," Johnson said during a Fox News interview Sunday. "It doesn't look like an armed insurrection when you have people that breach the Capitol --and I don't condone it -- but they're staying within the rope lines in the Rotunda. That's not what armed insurrection would look like."
