Greene's DC jail visit pulls GOP closer to Jan. 6 rioters

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

WASHINGTON (AP) — Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene swept into the District of Columbia jail to check on conditions for the Jan. 6 defendants, with Republican lawmakers handshaking and high-fiving the prisoners, who chanted “Let’s Go Brandon!” — a coded vulgarity against President Joe Biden — as the group left.

A day earlier Speaker Kevin McCarthy met with the mother of slain rioter Ashli Babbitt, an Air Force veteran who was shot and killed by police as she tried to climb through a broken window during the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol.

And the House Republican leader recently gave Fox News’ Tucker Carlson exclusive access to a trove of Jan. 6 surveillance tapes despite the conservative commentator’s airing of conspiracy theories about the Capitol attack.

Taken together, the House Republicans can be seen as working steadily but intently to distort the facts of the deadly riot, which played out for the world to see when Donald Trump’s supporters laid siege to the Capitol, and in the process downplay the risk of domestic extremism in the U.S.

[Deuxcents]

1. They need to be working "steadily but intently" on the debt ceiling

[Takket]

2. it is ironic that all this time sitting in jail.....

hasn't given them the realization that it is because people like MTG lied to them that they ended up in jail to begin with.

i guess you can't fix stupid.

3. When justice prevails, MTG will spend a lot more time in the slammer.

It seems that her role in the coup attempt may be the last of many mysteries to be unraveled.

More to the above point, "there are tapes" so to speak, and they're harder to whitewash than past history, which goppers have been trying to rewrite for decades.

4. Yeah, the Traitors' Stupid BURNS.

[Marcuse]

5. She was looking for Antifa.

[Emile]

6. The Moment of Silence for Fallen Capitol Police Officers only two

Republicans showed up, Liz and Dick Cheney. But the Republicans have no problem visiting the traitors that attacked our Democratic Republic. Just saying. .

7. "Let's Go Brandon"? Really?

Chanted by any of those claiming to be sorry for their actions?
I'm guessing yes, as most of those acts of contrition are just to get a reduced sentence.
