McClintock says Capitol attack may not have happened if earlier riots had consequences
Rep.Tom McClintock, R-Calif., said Wednesday that he intends to hold the rioters who attacked the U.S. Capitol responsible and wondered aloud if the incident would have ever happened had lawmakers responded to this summer's chaos in cities across the nation with the same kind of resolve. "If we had prosecuted BLM and Antifa rioters across the country with the same determination these last six months, this incident may not have happened at all," McClintock said during a speech on the floor of the House of Representatives.
