Top police deny guilt over Capitol attack NRSC chairman Scott asks for party unity: ‘The Republican Civil War is now canceled’ (R-Wis.) As ‘Don Johnson’ in a press conference Thursday, apparently facing the Wisconsin senator while saying he was apparently ‘taking the lead’ on the GOP response to the January 6 attack on the American Capitol.
“Don Johnson – was his first name Don?” Pelosi told reporters on Thursday. After being corrected, Pelosi jokingly replied, “Let me call him ‘senator’, not ‘Miami Vice’ or anything like that.”

“Ron Johnson seems to be taking the lead on the extent of how we should protect our country from domestic terrorism,” she continued.
The reference led to the name of the “Miami Vice” and “Knives Out” star on Twitter, with numerous users speculating that Pelosi was the wrong name of the Wisconsin senator was a deliberate slight. Among those who took note was ‘Saturday Night Live’, Chris Redd, who is currently starring alongside Don Johnson in the sitcom ‘Kenan’.
