2020 KS Senatorial race: on Crime


Roger Marshall: Protests okay, but we have to be a land of law and order

Certainly I'm in favor of peaceful protest: it's our constitutional right to do that, but we have to be a land of law and order, we have to protect people's lives and property, and looting and rioting and vandalism is wrong, so whatever we need to do to calm the riots needs to happen. If we need to call up the National Guard, let's call them out, but so far--Kansas? Pretty stable [on Black Lives Matter]. I know we had a couple of little flare ups but I think we're going in the right direction.
