Gaetz, Green and Gohmert turned away from jail to visit Jan. 6 defendants
Source: The Hill
Republican Reps. Matt Gaetz (Fla.), Majorie Taylor Greene (Ga.) and Louie Gohmert (Texas) on Thursday were turned away from the D.C. Department of Corrections where they tried to visit accused Jan. 6 rioters.
Video on Thursday shows officers, who said the group was trespassing and "obstructing entrance into this facility," denying the trio entry.
"The supervisor came down and was standing right here and turned her back on me. The other one said she won't talk anymore and that we're trespassers," Gohmert said in comments to the press after the situation.
"We're in totalitarian, Marxist territory here. This is the way third-world people get treated," he added.

Second, on one of the clips (I believe it was Gaetz) they said they were an attorney there to see a client. The attorney for each prisoner is a matter of record. That information has to be sent in via paperwork in advance. You cannot just show up claiming to be a prisoner's attorney.
Duh. What a bunch of dufuses.

At this point, I doubt the prisoners wanted to see three drooling propagandists, anyway, listening to those assholes is what put them into jail in the first place.

Justice matters.
