Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) verbally challenged an officer on Wednesday before being turned away from the central jail in Washington, D.C.
According to the lawmaker's Twitter account, she visited the jail with Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) to support defendants who allegedly participated in the attack on the U.S. Capitol on January 6. She also shared a video of her confrontation with the officer outside the facility.
"What do you have to hide here?" Greene asks. "Really, what are you hiding? I would like to see the whole facility. I'm concerned about every single person staying here."
The officer declines, adding: "Is there anything else I can do for you?"
"Yes, you can open this door," Greene insists.
"I'll give you the phone number to the director's office," the officer replies before reciting a telephone number.
Instead of writing down the number, Greene continues to argue with the officer.
"You cannot deny them visitors," she says. "You're clearly out of line in your position."
Gohmert then threatens to have a federal judge hold the officer in "contempt."
"We'll be seeing you again," Gohmert insists as the lawmakers are turned away.
