Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene blamed President Joe Biden on Friday for the recent death of a Capitol riot defendant, whom she claimed had committed suicide.
Reports began to circulate on Friday that Nejourde "Jord" Meacham, a 22-year-old Utah resident and January 6, 2021, Capitol riot defendant, had died roughly two weeks after he had been arraigned on charges related to his participation in the riot. This news was confirmed by a local obituary and by a court filing from the Department of Justice (DOJ), which further cited a police report from the Duchesne County Sheriff's Office that outlined Meacham's passing.
No details have yet been disclosed regarding Meacham's cause of death. Despite that lack of information, the notion that his death was a suicide has begun to spread in right-wing political circles online. On Friday, Greene, a Georgia Republican and staunch supporter of former President Donald Trump, echoed those unfounded claims and blamed Meacham's death on Biden and U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Matthew Graves, calling it the fourth suicide among Capitol riot defendants

The family has confirmed the suicide and says it is because of the delays in the case. BTW, he was in the Capital for 6 min, non violent, left when asked and still about to be sentenced to jail. He is one of three who have now completed suicide who were all non violent attendees of the Jan 6 event.
