The Johnsons each donated the maximum $2,800 to Boebert on Sept. 23, 2020.
"As I stated last week, I am appalled by the violence that erupted at the Capitol on January 6, 2021 and the destructive efforts to interrupt the certification of the 2020 Presidential Election," Johnson said in the statement released Monday night. "My wife Ann and I reject and denounce any individuals, candidates or elected officials who do not honor our constitution or who espouse or assist in violence of any kind.
"I have contacted the office of Representative Lauren Boebert to request a full refund of our contribution. I will continue to follow the ongoing investigation closely and will request refunds from any other individuals who are found to have engaged in similar behavior. And I pledge to do my part in helping to heal our nation and restore peace and respect in our democratic system."
Johnson, 88, owns the largest stake in the Giants, believed to be between 20 percent and 30 percent, but he has kept a low profile over the years. This is the second time, though, that he has asked for a contribution to be returned. In 2018, Johnson, one of the biggest donors among professional sports owners, asked for a similar amount to be returned from Mississippi Republican Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith, who had joked publicly about attending a hanging.
