After agitating for the chance for weeks, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) finally visited alleged Jan. 6 rioters in jail Thursday night and compared them to prisoners of war, part of a months-long campaign to valorize the attack on Congress.

Seems a mistake to be holding these traitors in groups together.

“Those men in those jail [ sic ] that I met with last night are more patriotic than every single American in this entire country, because they still love in this country, while the federal government is abusing them and making them live in their own waste,” she said.

The FBI, Greene said, should go after “criminals, not Americans.”

This is ripe for rebuttal, of course, but I’ll just focus on the last sentence: Given why these people are being held and the crimes they are accused of, I’d say that their very presence there indeed indicates that the FBI has gone after criminals who, in terms of their loyalty to this nation’s institutions and laws, are casting doubt upon their status as Americans.

Hey, remember when somebody once said of cop killers:

“When you see these thugs being thrown into the back of a paddy wagon…I said, ‘Please don’t be too nice.”

“When you guys put somebody in the car and you’re protecting their head you know, the way you put their hand over their head,” Trump continued, mimicking the motion. "Like, ‘Don’t hit their head and they’ve just killed somebody, don’t hit their head.’ I said, ‘You can take the hand away, OK?’

“I have to tell you, you know, the laws are so horrendously stacked against us, because for years and years, they’ve been made to protect the criminal. Totally made to protect the criminal. Not the officers. You do something wrong, you’re in more jeopardy than they are.”

At least we can say she is now in a house that better suits her talents and disposition than Congress does.

I wonder if the inspection of the one facility is why Greene got to visit the other facility. I just know that some pundit will intentionally confuse the two.
And then there’s this:

Of course they will. If no one pushes back on the comparison of the DC facility to a POW camp that’s all you need to know.

Also consider that TFG likes heros who weren’t captured. So while she sees herself liberating a camp ala “Rambo” - TFG just sees a bunch of failures who didn’t give their lives for the dear leaders insurrection.

Clearly the only appropriate place to house them is in the Trump DC Hotel’s high-end suites…

If they can’t do the time, they shouldn’t have committed the crime. She described this like she was an American soldier at Dachau. She is a repulsive woman.

Greene isn’t right in the head. She’s not just a stupid asshole, she’s mentally defective in some way.
