'Disgusting': House Dem sickened as Marjorie Taylor Greene treats MAGA rioters as 'heroes'

Rep. Robert Garcia (D-CA) accused his colleague Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) this week of treating Capitol rioters as "heroes" when she visited them in prison.

In an interview with the progressive Meidas Touch news site, Garcia recalled going with a congressional delegation to view conditions where Jan. 6 prisoners were being held in Washington D.C.

The California Democrat claimed that Greene didn't even try to hide her sympathies for the rioters during her visit.

"The first thing she does... is greets them and hugs them and prays with them and apologizes," he said. "[She was] treating them like heroes! And I'm sitting there going, 'This is disgusting, these people attacked our government! They tried to overthrow our government!"

Greene has been one of the most prominent Republicans to repeatedly express sympathy and support for people who violently broke into the Capitol on January 6, 2021 to demand that then-Vice President Mike Pence block the certification of the 2020 election.

Trump himself has even suggested that he will give many of the rioters a pardon and a formal apology from the federal government for prosecuting them after they led a violent assault on the American constitutional order.
