Democrat Criticizes Marjorie Taylor Greene's Support for Jan. 6 Defendants

Rep. Robert Garcia (D-Calif.) criticized Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) for treating Capitol riot defendants like "heroes" and giving them hugs during a visit to a Washington, D.C., jail. Garcia called her behavior "disgusting" and emphasized that these individuals had attacked and tried to overthrow the government. Greene has been advocating for "justice" for the defendants, claiming they are "political prisoners" and victims of a "weaponized" justice system. Garcia also denounced a conspiracy theory pushed by Greene and other conservatives, involving an image of a convicted rioter holding a vape being mistaken for an undercover federal agent.
