Greene said the visit would focus on the conditions of those jailed over Jan. 6, including what she claimed to be reports of abuse."
"They're pretrial and they haven't even been convicted and they're not allowed to see their families, many times are not allowed to see their attorneys -- the food has been a major complaint," Greene alleged. "There's been complaints of it tasting like cleaner.

people in fulton county GA are sitting in jail for months without charges being brought. i don't think i've ever heard anything good about jail food. Jailers treat prisoners like shit. I'm not saying it's okay because I don't believe it is - I think being locked up is punishing all by itself. I'm saying MTG and her cohorts are hypocrites, but then again, they are republicans.
i hate republicans

Its funny hes complaining about the food when he probably isnt even eating from the trays. Dude likely has several supporters/suckers putting money on his books, as well as family members. Maybe even Empty G is pitching in so he can buy food and coffee and sugar and meat (real, chock full o protein meat and fish!) from commissary.
Cry me a river, asshole. You belong there.
Maybe hell come out of this experience with some empathy and a fire in his belly to help all the people stuck in jail on non-violent charges, minor probation violations and represented by crappy, apathetic public defenders. But I wont get my hopes up, or look for any of these insurrectionist fools to advocate for reform.

They believe they're victims because they believed everything ffn put on about the election being stolen. That was one of the reasons they went to D.C. on January 6. Crazy repubs are filing suit for everything else, so why not?
