Dem Rep: MTG Lies About Jail Conditions For Rioters

The Hill reports:

House Democrats said their visit as part of a GOP-led trip to the Washington, D.C. jail where rioters from the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection are being held showed they had no remorse for their actions. The comments came after the trip, which was organized by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), following criticism from some Republicans about the conditions in the jail and about the defendants being held without bail.

“The worst part about it was when we actually saw the inmates, the Republicans rushed to them like they were celebrities and talking to them, patting them on the back, interacting with them. These are folks that show no remorse,” Rep. Robert Garcia (D-Calif.) said. He said the defendants are being treated “fairly” and have access to medical care 24 hours a day. Garcia said Greene is “lying” to media and her claims that the conditions are poor in the jail are “just not true.”
