Krugman: 9/11 made Bush, Giuliani become 'fake heroes'

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R) on Friday led a Congressional delegation visiting jailed Jan. 6 defendants, and the far-right Congresswoman from Georgia afterward ducked a question from a reporter over whether the visit served to downplay the attack on the Capitol.

Greene led the visit of House Oversight Committee members from both parties, ostensibly to inspect conditions under which the 20 Jan. 6 defendants are being held at the Washington D.C. jail, who she called “political prisoners.”

Two parents in Philadelphia have been arrested after police found their child zip-tied in a dog cage, reported NBC News on Friday.

"Philadelphia Police Department officers responded to the house on Glenview Street around 12:52 p.m. for a report of screaming. They found two partially clothed children, ages 3 and 5, crying and wandering around the back of the residence, according to a news release," reported Mirna Alsharif. "Inside the home, officers discovered a third child locked in a dog cage secured with a zip tie, police said in the release. The child, who was found naked, is a 6-year-old boy, NBC Philadelphia reported, citing police."

Retired U.S. Army Sergeant and Iraq War veteran Kristofer Goldsmith criticized Republican lawmakers on Friday for visiting a Washington, D.C., jail where some Jan. 6 defendants are being held.

The congressional delegation is being led by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), who has expressed sympathy for the Jan. 6 inmates.
