GOP Lawmakers Demand Answers on January 6 Protesters: ‘Do We Have Political Prisoners Here in America?’

by Kristina Wong

A group of Republican lawmakers held a press conference on Tuesday before the first hearing of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s committee to investigate the protests at the Capitol Building on January 6, 2021, and demanded to know what kind of treatment protesters arrested are being given.

“We still need to know: do we have political prisoners here in America, or not? And we can’t get an answer,” said Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX). “People, whether they’ve done right or wrong, they deserve to be treated properly.”

Gohmert was joined by Reps. Andy Biggs (AZ), Matt Gaetz (FL), Bob Good (VA), Paul Gosar (AZ), and Marjorie Taylor Greene (GA) for the press conference in front of the Justice Department.

Gohmert said they have received reports about people being shipped to various jails and mistreatment in jail. Read the rest at breitbart.com.

  • People who were invited into Congress by the cops and walked between the velvet ropes are in jail. However, if you’re an ANTIFA or BLM lefty beating people up in the streets (usually 10 against one), breaking windows, looting businesses and burning businesses down you get ZERO punishment. Oh, the dirt bag trying to disrupt Louie Gohmert’s talk by blowing the whistle, needs a whistle sandwich…without the bread.
