Gaetz, Greene, Gohmert and Gosar showed up today at the prison where insurrectionists are incarcerated, demanding to be let in to inspect the facility. They were ordered to leave or be arrested for trespassing, which they did.

At one point, Gohmert tries to argue that he has a “top secret clearance,” so he should be allowed in. (Didn’t work).

Hey traitors....how many insurrectionists are being held?

Last I heard it was a whopping 66 out of hundreds charged.

Wasn't there are group of Black congresswomen who recently went to the Senate to peacefully protest for voting rights, and at least one of them got arrested as an act of civil disobedience?

How many times have John Lewis, Al Sharpton, Jessie Jackson, and other prominent civil rights leaders gotten arrested to prove a point.

These clowns go in to make a show out of those "poor insurrectionists (I mean political prisoners ) and they don't even have the guts to get arrested? They totally punked out. They were told to leave, AND THEY JUST LEFT.

I mean, I guess if I were Matt Gaetz, I would want to be nowhere near the inside of a cell. They might just decide not to let him out.

Nobody gives a shit about your TS clearance at the jail. The prisoners are not state secrets.

They're prisoners, but they're also violent thugs and crooks who sought to overturn a free and fair election. Nice try.

Tomorrow they'll be doing a press conference at at Chuck E Cheese

I'm sure there are? But this was a stunt, so policies and procedures don't matter.

I'm sick of these trouble makers.
