Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene wrote Friday “Last night, I was greeted by men who never thought anyone would come see them. It was like they were prisoners of war. They had lost hope and felt forgotten. The American people must tell the federal government that we will not stand for their authoritarianism & their tyranny.”
In our nation's capital, no less! https://t.co/nSQo3I46Pf

Greene wrote earlier “Last night we toured the DC jail. My staff and I are writing a full report this morning on our 3+ hour long tour. I’ve never seen human suffering like I witnessed last night. While some were shown to us in seemingly beneficial programs, others were in tortuous lockdown.”
“Some inmates were receiving continuing education classes, others were truly suffering from long stays in solitary confinement for “bad behavior.” I’ll never forget hearing their screams. This was in a different part of the jail, not the J6 part. Being alone surely is hell,” she continued.
“At what seemed the end of our tour as we were being led toward the exit, we had not seen the J6 defendants yet. I asked to see them & was told it was not part of my tour. I demanded to see them and would have gone scorched earth if I was not allowed and was making it known,” Greene added.
“Phone calls were made & permission was given. We then were taken to another section of the jail and entered the Patriot wing. I was greeted by men with overwhelming cheers who rushed out to meet me with tears streaming down their faces. They have felt forgotten & hopeless,” Greene said.
“Our detailed report will outline everything we saw in every area of the jail we were allowed to see, on behalf of all inmates. I am committed to ending this political war and seeing that our justice system is never used against Americans as a political weapon ever again. I am also beginning a plan for real prison reform. Our nation is broken and our people are divided. It’s time to fix it,” she concluded.
