Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene claimed at a Capitol press conference that Jan. 6th defendants are being treated 'worse' than terrorists while they await trial.
'They have been beaten by the guards. They are called white supremacist. They are denied religious services, haircuts, shaving, the ability to trim their fingernails,' she said at an event along with Reps. Rep. Louis Gohmert of Texas, Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz and Arizona Rep. Paul Gosar. She said Jan. 6th prisoners were being 'mistreated and abused worse than we treat terrorists at Gitmo,' in reference to the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

We're staring down the barrel of systemic, sanctioned and encouraged hate from the left.

MTG is correct, and McCarthy is a worthless wimp for taking her off committee assignments, which MTG described as worthless, again MTG correct.

#1, MTG and the others can’t do anything about it because they are backbenchers with no power. Who can do something about it are Kevin McCarthy and Mitch McConnell. From these so-called Republican leaders we hear nothing about the massive civil liberties abuse happening to these poor suckers who were manipulated into “invading” the capitol. Also silent is Lindsey Graham who sits on the Judiciary Committee. When next we hear from him, most likely on Hannity, he will be demanding that we go to war with Russia.

I fear I believe this! We have not seen nor heard from these folks since Jan 6, I usually take all of this with a grain of salt from some of our folks but this is becoming very concerning.. 10 months with nothing to deny this info leaves me fraught with worry.

Why are they even incarcerated? Not one pre supplied brick thrown, didn't set anything on fire, didn't block all the doors on a police station and set it on fire, no guns, no molotov cocktails,..I could go on. They are plain simply political prisoners.

MTG is doing all she can do about this. The House Freedom Caucus is MIA. Kevin McCarthy and McConnell over in the Senate do not care at all. Thank God for One America News and the War Room.

Is this what our prison system is about? Isn't there a Bureau of Prisons? Who are their jailers and how are they legally allowed to get away with this? Who is in charge? Anyone?

I contacted my Dem rep and Dem senators about this horrible treatment. Fell on deaf ears.

Senator Blackburn, Senator Hagerty where ARE you? Why weren't you with them and why aren't you putting pressure on McConnell to put a stop to this?
Congressman Burchett; likewise with McCarthy.
Logjam the "work" of the CONgress until this injustice is halted.
