GOP Sen. Ron Johnson asked D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser a pretty straightforward question: does she have a figure on the cost of the property damage resulting from last summer’s riots?
Bowser didn’t seem too keen on answering that question, but she did drop an interesting little bombshell:
Washington D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser claims that there was only "one night of rioting" in the district last summer and that "we do not permit any riotous behavior." pic.twitter.com/ch5a9ggaEk

Now, we’re neither mayors nor scienticians, but we’re pretty sure that stuff counts as rioting. Quite a bit of rioting, actually. Probably more than you’d expect in a city that explicitly does not permit riotous behavior.
That was one long ass night
