Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene claimed at a Capitol press conference that Jan. 6th defendants are being treated 'worse' than terrorists while they await trial.
'They have been beaten by the guards. They are called white supremacist. They are denied religious services, haircuts, shaving, the ability to trim their fingernails,' she said, at an event along with Reps. Rep. Louis Gohmert of Texas, Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz and Arizona Rep. Paul Gosar.
She said Jan. 6th prisoners were being 'mistreated and abused worse than we treat terrorists at Gitmo,' in reference to the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
'They are told that they have to denounce President Trump. They are told that their views are the views of cult members Even though these are men that every single night at 9:00 at night, they put their hand over their heart and sing the national anthem voluntarily,' she said.
