Wisconsin's dumb senator, Ron Johnson, had one helluva gaffe while discussing the January 6 insurrection (emphasis mine):

The vast majority of the people in Washington that day were there to protest peacefully. We all condone the violence. We want to see those people prosecuted and brought to justice. But we also need to get a full account of what happened - the good and the bad. People that did behave. People that unwittingly, stupidly, entered the Capitol. Again, they thought it was the People's House. We need to have the full narrative out there. We haven't had a proper investigation into this.

No, RoJo, we all do not condone the violence of the insurrection. Speak for yourself on that matter, you senile old fool!

To be honest though, I was more blown away by his second gaffe in that 30 second clip, calling for a full investigation into the insurrection. I know that RoJo didn't miss the J6 commission hearings or Trump's second impeachment, because he was complaining all the way through them. I know he couldn't have missed the thousands of individual court and trial hearings for each of the insurrectionsists. Hell, I remember RoJo repeatedly gaslighting about whether there was even an insurrection as well as if people were armed.

But RoJo should be careful what he wishes for, because he just might get it. One area of the January 6 insurrection that needs a lot more investigating is RoJo's involvement with the slates of fake electors he was trying to shove off on Mike Pence that day.
