Note: This is me โ I asked this question.
Youโll hear me say โyes you haveโ here โ because Johnson was already *directly asked* about one of these instances (when the Presbyterian minister was shot in the head with a pepper ball) in one of earlier shutdown press conferences.
I'd need to know more about whether the minister shot in the face with a chemical agent from point-blank range before weighing in on it. Maybe it was good that it happened.

Our WH East Wing was demolished for a ballroom - paid for by donors.
These arenโt acts of benevolence or patriotism.
This is the oligarchy assuming control, insidiously becoming part of how we function.
Every American should reject it.
Nine months ago I put most of my hope in major institutions continuing to hold fascism in check, but had little expectation that regular people with little to no power would step up and put themselves at risk.
I had it exactly backward.
Didn't want to laugh, but it just happened spontaneously. So sorry, not sorry.
