Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) is using her increasingly influential voice and a new book to double down on the MAGA view that the Jan. 6 Capitol riots were influenced by anti-Trump anarchists and that those arrested and still in jail are political prisoners.

In a chapter about the event shared with Secrets, the lawmaker wrote, “Please let me remind you that these weren’t people convicted of violent crimes; they were pre-trial, convicted of nothing! In America, we are innocent until proven guilty, but these people were being held as though they’d already been convicted of violent crimes in a trial. I thought this kind of politicization and unusual cruelty only happened in places like Russia or China or some totalitarian regime. The January 6 defendants’ treatment was absolutely sickening!”

Another issue, perhaps the biggest one, where the inaction and silence of the GOP is telling.
