Controversial Georgia Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene said Tuesday that suspected rioters involved in the Jan. 6 Capitol breach are “being abused” in federal jails.
Her claims came amid her House floor speech against a projected probe into the Capitol riot, a move she called a “witch hunt” targeting former President Trump and his fans.
“While it’s catch-and-release for domestic terrorists in Antifa and BLM, the people who breached the Capitol on Jan. 6 are being abused. Some even being held for 23-hours-a-day in solitary confinement,” Greene said.
“When will the witch hunt of Donald J. Trump and all of those who support him come to an end?”
Greene added that the investigation should be launched into the death of Trump supporter Ashli Babbitt.
“I rise in opposition against the commission to study the events of January 6 as well as spending $2 billion in security supplemental. What about all the riots that happened during the summer of 2020 after the death of George Floyd?”
She continued: “What about all the damage caused to federal buildings, churches, people’s businesses, and innocent people that were killed, like David Dorn?”
