The following statement may be attributed to Representative Steve Stivers (R-OH):
“Protestors have a right to be heard – a right that I’ve fought overseas for - but there is a difference between protesting and rioting. Destruction and lawlessness are not acceptable.
Many of those protesting today are carrying flags in support of the Thin Blue Line and law enforcement - I’m calling on everyone at the Capitol to obey the law and follow all instructions given by Capitol police and other law enforcement.”
