Marjorie Taylor Greene announced yesterday that she will be leading “a bipartisan delegation from the Oversight Committee to the DC Jail on Friday.”
I’m leading a bipartisan delegation from the Oversight Committee to the DC Jail on Friday.
— Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene?? (@RepMTG) March 22, 2023
The Georgia Rep. has long campaigned for those imprisoned for their role in the January 6 insurrection. She has made it clear she views them as political prisoners and has suggested they are facing overly harsh conditions in jail while awaiting trial.
Earlier this month, reports emerged that Greene was working with House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-KY) to arrange a trip to the DC jail to meet with defendants and staff.
Greene said at the time, “We’re going to be addressing the human rights abuse, such as the fact that they’ve been held in solitary confinement up to 23 hours a day, denied the ability to see their families.”
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Who will be joining Greene on her jail tour remains unclear. Rep. Clay Higgins (South Carolina) co-signed a letter Greene and Comer sent to DC Mayor Murial Bowser raising the issue. Rep. Lauren Boebert indicated during a recent speech that she would be joining Greene.

It’s unknown which, if any Democratic lawmakers, will join the “bipartisan” group. Democrats on the Oversight committee include the likes of Jamie Raskin, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and gay freshman Rep., Robert Garcia.
Greene’s announcement that she was headed to jail tomorrow prompted thousands of comments online. However, only a minority praised her. In fact, many suggested it was a good idea that she familiarized herself with the facility.
… And the internet is quick to ask her how her divorce is going.

Hey look Boebert is in drag…or looks mighty slutty…oh that’s ok straight people can look at a woman vag and boobs hanging out on the street just not men…just wait…our revenge plans are in the works Margie girl
We keep hearing this claim that there are people kept in solitary confinement for 23 hours a day. If real, that would constitute a human rights abuse. But that punishment is very rare, and it’s only given after a jailed person does some *additional* crime like assaulting other people in the jail. Is Greene suggesting that her buddies are being punished for poor behavior? How many of them are actually being kept in solitary, and for how many days? The claim gets tossed around too casually without any explanation of what’s really going on.
Actually, non-January 6 prisoners ARE kept in solitary confinement for 20+ hours a day in supermax prisons across the US, which is an outright violation of human rights. Of course ole’ Whore of Babylon Marge Taylor Greene doesn’t give a d@mn about them! She’s only concerned with the failed Don the Coup coup participants, and is trying to rewrite the narrative about them, much like that pathetic chump Tucker Carlson also recently tried to do. Marge ought to do us all a favor and demonstrate her true sympathy for these criminals by signing herself into prison and stay in there with them!
She’s only outraged about the conditions for her fellow white anti democracy cronies. The vast majority of people being held she does not care about and will do nothing to help them.
Marge Whore of Babylon Taylor Greene doesn’t give a flying f*ck about most prisoners or the inhumane treatment they’re experiencing in the United States. Truth be told she doesn’t even give a d@mn about most WHITE people in prison, just the loonytunes fanatics who participated in Don the Con’s failed coup attempt on January 6, 2021.
Please tell me that while she’s there they’ll lure her into a cell with PPP cash and a sleeveless top from Marshall’s and when she’s inside close and lock the door behind her…
“The Democrats and the media alike are whitewashing all the things that happened with antifa, B.L.M. protests and riots across the country in 2020,” she said.

How many American flags does this idiot need around her on stage? We get it lady, you’re an American.
Mack
@abfab, I don’t think she’s an American, I think she’s a Russian plant.

She’s an old house plant. Filled with spider mites and powdery mildew.

She’s just “sampling” information and reconfiguring the facts to support her bogus, incendiary lunge at personal power and glory.

abfab
Right? It’s not like MTG has Amnesty International on speed dial.
Mack
Will she look at how the “blacks” are housed or just the “whites”? Dollar to doughnuts she’ll avoid the “blacks” in the jail.

She wants to make sure Prisons are as easy as possible since she’s probably going to end up there.
DBMC
If only she really cared about this until she could play politics with it.
Our legal and prison systems do need to be changed, but she’s only in it for selfish reasons.
mildredspierce
Bet she does a lot of diddling when she gets home.

The Boobert & Marge Tran Green ’23 Tour drops in a prison. How appropriate.

Did she go?

Finally, a captive audience in the men’s room.

Please tell me that while she’s there they’ll lure her into a cell with PPP cash and a sleeveless top from Marshall’s and when she’s inside close and lock the door behind her…
abfab
She went.
She said, for the umpteenth time:
“The Democrats and the media alike are whitewashing all the things that happened with antifa, B.L.M. protests and riots across the country in 2020,” she said.
She’s a maniac who must be stopped.
