Will appealing to White grievance be the ticket for the GOP in 2022? Ron Johnson may be the test case.

What was the big deal about Jan. 6? That’s the thrust of one swing-state Republican’s recent public comments about the Capitol riots that left dozens of people injured and five people dead.

Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) will be up for reelection in 2022 if he decides to run again. He hasn’t confirmed whether he will. But his decision to defend Trump supporters while running in a state that went for President Biden in 2020 shows he’s placing his bets on appealing to some of the state’s most conservative voters.

Johnson has made several statements downplaying the seriousness of the attack, saying earlier this month that he would have been more “concerned” had the rioters been affiliated with the Black Lives Matter movement.

“Now, had the tables been turned — now, Joe, this will get me in trouble — had the tables been turned and President Trump won the election and those were tens of thousands of Black Lives Matter and antifa protesters, I might have been a little concerned,” he told conservative radio host Joe Pagliarulo.
