“They’re covered in it,” theGrio’s Jason Johnson said on MSNBC’s Deadline White House. “The scent of the insurrection is on every single one of them.”
MSNBC contributor Jason Johnson made a humorous but compelling comparison on Republicans’ continued response to Jan. 6 Capitol Hill insurrection and its perpetrators. Johnson, who is also a contributor for theGrio, said GOP members are treating the rioters “like a mistress.”
The comments came as Johnson and Deadline White House host Nicolle Wallace discussed remarks made by Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell who failed to denounce plans for a Justice for J6 Rally that is scheduled to take place on Capitol Hill on Saturday.

“It’s not a hurricane!” Wallace said of the rally. She noted that Republicans should have clearly told the protesters “Do not come.”
Johnson added, “Republicans are not ashamed enough of their constituents and how they have supported people who want to overthrow the government.”
He said, “The Republicans treat the insurrectionists like a mistress.”
“They’re laying down with her at night, they’re doing it in the dark. And then public, “I don’t know who this person is. Where did this come from? It’s makeup, I don’t know what it is!”
