A group of lawmakers led by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) visited the D.C. jail Friday where Donald Trump supporters have been held for rioting at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
The delegation consists of House Oversight Committee members investigating the supposed unequal treatment of Jan. 6 rioters Greene describes as “political prisoners.”
The D.C. jail is notorious for its poor treatment of inmates, but Greene and committee chair James Comer (R-Ky.) have suggested they’re only interested in the plight of the rioters.
“The Committee is concerned by reports that January 6 detainees are facing a unique form of mistreatment due to their politics and beliefs, representing potential several human rights abuses,” Comer and Greene wrote in a letter earlier this month.
