Marjorie Taylor Greene says she was "assaulted" by whistle at DC jail visit

Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene says that she and other House Republicans who visited January 6 defendants in jail were "assaulted" by the sound of a man blowing a whistle at them afterward.

Greene and other House lawmakers visited the Washington, D.C., jail on Friday. Republicans have argued that the January 6 prisoners are being singled out for especially harsh treatment at the jail due to their "politics and beliefs." Greene previously visited the facility in November 2021, when she said that the January 6 prisoners had shown her "evidence of abuse and neglect."

The Georgia congresswoman said that she and her Republican colleagues were singled out for harsh treatment by protesters at a press conference after their jail visit on Friday. She said that a whistle-wielding man had committed "assault" by interrupting the press conference and loudly blowing the whistle at people as Republicans spoke.
