Of Patriots and Tyrants
Six Republican lawmakers held a press conference outside of the Department of Justice on Tuesday to demand answers about the treatment of Americans arrested over the January 6 mostly peaceful Capitol protest.
Congressmembers Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), Louis Gohmert (R-Texas), Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.), Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.), Bob Good (R-Va.), and Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.) spoke at a podium outside the office of the DOJ, which Rep. Greene claimed they were not allowed to enter.
“We want to know how the detainees are being treated inside the jails,” Greene declared before introducing Rep. Gohmert.
“We have received reports about mistreatment in the jails” Gohmert claimed, adding, “We have been asking for months for meetings with the attorney general.” Gohmert was referencing reports of beatings, solitary confinement, and unconstitutional treatment of fellow Americans.

Hawley on Planned Electoral Objection: ‘Somebody Has to Stand Up’
Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) on Wednesday night defended his commitment to objecting to electoral votes during next month’s joint session of Congress, saying that “somebody has to stand up here. You’ve got 74 million Americans who feel disenfranchised.”
Hawley earlier in the day became the first senator to commit to objecting on Jan. 6, 2021, prompting criticism from Democrats.
“Josh Hawley’s latest: he’s all in on overthrowing our democratic elections. Another pointless and dangerous attempt to undermine the will of the people,” Sen. Tina Smith (D-Minn.) said in a statement.
