Congresswoman Claims Jailed Capitol Riot Suspects’ Own Public Defenders Call Them ‘White Supremacists’

Georgia Representative Majorie Taylor Greene has accused attorneys from the Washington, DC Office of the Federal Public Defender of defaming their clients as “white supremacists” and forcing them to consume “critical race theory training” as a condition of being represented by them in cases stemming from the 6 January insurrection. . .

Flanked by Reps Matt Gaetz of Florida and Louie Gohmert of Texas, the first-term congresswoman recounted a visit she and Mr Gohmert, a former Texas judge, made to the DC jail on 4 November. Ms Greene, Mr Gaetz and Mr Gohmert had previously attempted to visit the facility, located in southeastern Washington, DC, to show support for those Capitol riot defendants who’ve been found by judges to be too dangerous to release before trial. . .

“The January 6th defendants that I spoke to and asked questions to at the jail said that if they have a public defender … their public defenders hate them,” Ms Greene said. . .

But Ms Greene claimed that the attorneys assigned to represent indigent 6 January defendants are acting out of “a big political bias” that is prevalent in the DC federal courts. . .

“They’re being represented by public defenders that call them white supremacist, tell them they have to denounce President Trump, tell them they have to denounce their political views, want them to watch videos and read books that basically is critical race theory training, in order for them to have this public defender represent them,” she said.
