Georgia Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene attacked fellow Republican Lindsey Graham on Sunday after he called Donald Trump's desire to pardon rioters who violently attacked the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021 "inappropriate."
In a statement released Sunday, Greene accused Graham of "pretending to be a friend" of Trump and slammed the South Carolina Senator for condemning rioters involved in the deadly insurrection.
"While no one agrees with the violence and riot at the Capitol on J6, Lindsey Graham would rather see pretrial J6 defendants be abused and forgotten just like Nancy Pelosi wants them abused and forgotten," Greene said, according to the Hill Reporter.
"Instead of actually doing something about the great injustice happening to pretrial Americans awaiting their day in court, Lindsey Graham turns his head to their abuse, votes for Joe Biden's nominees, votes for Joe Biden's infrastructure bill, and then pretends to be a friend to President," Green continued.

(35,382 posts)in a court proceeding when you are the accused? They have a right to protest but what if it leads to an attack
against the courts or state like we had at the capitol. Sounds like he is inciting a riot to me..

I think its inappropriate, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), a Trump ally, said Sunday in an interview with CBS Face The Nation.
Asked if he believed that Trumps pledge to offer pardons to rioters could be dangerous, Graham said he did.
I dont want to reinforce that defiling the Capitol was okay. I dont want to do anything that would make this more likely in the future, the senator said. I hope they go to jail and get the book thrown at them because they deserve it.
