Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) on Friday hailed “political prisoners” charged with crimes related to the U.S. Capitol riot as she claimed they are being “tortured” in a kind of “patriots’ wing” of the District of Columbia Jail. Greene joined Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) in a scheduled tour of the jail Thursday evening with members of the Council of the District of Columbia. Greene compared it to “visiting prisoners of war. “Clearly there is an ulterior motive focused on Jan. 6,” said D.C. Council member Charles Allen, who organized the tour and was surprised by the late tagalongs. Last night’s trip to the Patriot Wing was like visiting prisoners of war.
