“There’s a woman in this room whose daughter was murdered on January 6, Ashli Babbitt, and … there’s never been a trial. As a matter of fact, no one has cared about the person that shot and killed her, and no one in this Congress has really addressed that issue, January 6 committee didn’t address it,” Greene said.
“And I believe that there are many people that came into the Capitol on January 6 whose civil rights and liberties are being violated heavily.”
Greene said that Oversight Committee should “look into those civil rights abuses, because they’re happening in a jail right here in this city.”
“I’ve been in that jail, and it’s not just the January 6 defendants, pretrial by the way, it’s many of the inmates in there, living in horrific conditions,” she said.
Greene concluded by saying that “we have to make sure that we crack down on the two-tier justice system, because that needs to end.”
Greene made the comments in response to Rep. Jasmine Crockett, who proposed adding a civil rights and civil liberties subcommittee. That subcommittee was ultimately voted down.
“When over 100 people every year are losing their lives in routine traffic stops, when over a dozen large police departments are operating under consent decrees for violations of their citizens’ civil liberties and when the attention of a nation is focused on the issue of civil rights, it is our duty to rise to the occasion and conduct oversight and provide accountability on this crucial subject,” Crockett said, noting that the subcommittee amendment should be passed “in light of the tragedy of this past weekend.”
In response to Crockett, Greene said, “Ms Crockett, I do agree with you about Tyre Nichols’ death. I watched the video and it was tragic and extremely difficult to watch.”
“I would also point out that that city is Democrat-controlled and the five officers that have been arrested and charged are black. And I think that this isn’t an issue of racism or anything like that. I think the judge and the jury and the trial needs to work out what happened here.”

Investigate civil rights abuses experienced by Trump supporters who were arrested in the January 6, 2021(alleged) Capitol riot, as well as review the shooting of Ashli Babbitt.
It is very much over due to be investigated.
BUT unless something can actually be DONE< if that investigation DOES find rights were abused, WHAT POINT IS THERE In doing these investigations!?
This isn’t the first time the charge of insurrection has been used to suspend Habeas Corpus. Lincoln used it to silence newspapers that disagreed with his war. I see shades of what Judge Napolitano, well schooled in constitutional history, writes of Lincoln’s complete trashing of the Constitution by “murdering civilians, declaring martial law, suspending habeas corpus, seizing . . . private property without compensation (including railroads and telegraphs), conducting a war without the consent of Congress, imprisoning nearly thirty thousand Northern citizens without trial, shutting down . . . newspapers, and even deporting a congressman (Clement L. Vallandigham from Ohio) because he objected to the imposition of an income tax.” Our “Hamiltonian” Federal Government has certainly done an “over-reach”, again. They, as well as the American people, have forgotten that the Federal Government was, and is, a creation of the States.
In our present legal system, everyone is presumed innocent until proven conservative.
AND if proven conservative, you are GUILTY once accused.
As we have seen by the then Democrat ruled House of Representatives led by the hateful, self-righteous Nancy Pelosi.
Nancy Pelosi admitted an unfortunate truth about her
orchestrate and fabricated President Trump’s impeachment “farce”
– It hinges on witness’s “allegations” not “proof”.
It’s Not A Question” Of “Proof”, It’s About “Allegations”

Something should definitely be done concerning the Ashli Babbitt murder by that cop. I think there are laws against shooting into a crowd of unarmed citizens. He should be relieved of duty and brought up on manslaughter charges.
It’s about time SOMEBODY spoke out against the unlawful imprisonment and Soviet-style mistreatment of the Jan. 6th “insurrectionists!” For the “crime” of trespassing in the Capitol Building, a cancer patient is being denied his medication and treatment, and these “insurrectionists” are being beaten and TORTURED. Moreover, ALL of them are being held without bail, while the SAME law enforcement agencies and courts are turning murderers and rapists with mile-lone rap sheets back out on the streets with NO BAIL required. THIS is how tyrants govern, and the power-mad SCUM who have illegally seized control of our government are just that–TYRANTS.
BUT is all they do, speaking? OR WILL there be action on it?
Overzealous patriots, concerned about a shady election, broke into the capitol and now suffer in abhorrent conditions. Law breaking aliens, some of which are felons, pour across our southern border, in complete defiance of our laws, and end up in a nice hotel in New York city. However, these law breakers are incensed that the free food isn’t better and city officials would have the audacity to move them to less posh accommodations to make room for other law-breaking families. The justice department will never investigate the inhumane treatment of 1/6 protesters because they consider patriots to be the biggest threat to their goal of totalitarian rule.
