On January 3, 2021, the office of Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene released a media advisory announcing a press conference that will address the treatment of January 6th detainees at the DC Jail.

The press conference will take place on December 7, 2021 and will coincide with the release of  “Unusually Cruel: An Eyewitness Report From The DC Jail.” Greene will be accompanied by Texas Congressman Louie Gohmert, Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz, and Arizona Congressman Paul Gosar.

Greene has previously described the January 6 inmates as “political prisoners of war.”

Greene stressed that she did not support the storming of the Capitol, but she views the punishment meted out against the demonstrators as excessive: “No one has argued in defense of the Capitol riot, and I’ve always openly said I was very upset by it, but after seeing these men myself in the DC Jail, I can attest this abuse is true.”

So far, over 600 people have received charges for the January 6 protests.
