Greene on treatment of Capitol riot defendants, urges Jan 6. panel to tour DC jail | New York Post

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene slammed what she called the “outrageous” treatment of Capitol riot defendants in Washington, DC’s main jail Tuesday and urged lawmakers on the House select committee investigating the events of Jan. 6 to see the facility for themselves.

During a press conference with fellow Republicans Matt Gaetz of Florida, Louie Gohmert of Texas and Paul Gosar of Arizona, Greene (R-Ga.) claimed inmates are being physically abused, forced to read works of critical race theory, and mocked “for the color of their skin.”

“The Jan. 6 defendants are being treated differently on a whole ‘nother level,” Greene told reporters. “They have been beaten by the guards. They are called white supremacists. They are denied religious services, haircuts, shaving, the ability to trim their fingernails.”
