Marjorie Taylor Greene calls D.C. jail section holding Jan. 6 rioters 'Patriot Wing'

The Republican congresswoman has been an outspoken defender of the pro-Trump rioters who attacked the U.S. Capitol.

In reality, fewer than 40 were jailed, Dr. Keena Blackmon, public information officer for the D.C. Department of Corrections, told local TV station WUSA ahead of that September rally. While more than 600 people have been arrested in connection with the attack, most have been released pending their trials. Those who remain detained have largely been ruled as a"danger to the community" by judges overseeing their cases.

The January 6 attack was spurred by Trump's baseless claim that the 2020 election was"stolen" in favor of Biden. At a nearby rally just before the attack, the president urged his supporters to"fight like hell" and instructed them to"march" to the Capitol.
