On Sunday, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene slammed fellow Republican Lindsey Graham after the South Carolina senator called Donald Trump’s comments about Jan 6 insurrectionists “inappropriate.”
At a rally in Texas on Saturday, Trump said he would consider pardons for people who were charged in the January 6 attack on the US Capitol if he wins the 2024 election.
“We will treat them fairly,” he said. “And if it requires pardons, we will give them pardons.”
Asked about Trump’s comments, Graham said on CBS’s Face the Nation, Graham blasted the former president’s remarks as “inappropriate.”
“I don’t want to send any signal that it was OK to defile the Capitol,” the South Carolina Republican said, adding: “There are other groups with causes that may want to go down the violent path if these people get pardoned.”
Greene shot back at Graham in a long post on her Gab account, airing a list of grievances.
“Lindsey Graham has done nothing about J6,” Greene began. “Instead of actually doing something about the great injustice happening to pretrial Americans awaiting their day in court, Lindsey Graham turns his head to their abuse, votes for Joe Biden’s nominees, votes for Joe Biden’s Infrastructure bill, and then pretends to be a friend to President Trump,” she wrote.
“Aren’t we all sick and tired of those kind of ‘friends,'” she added.
So far 761 people have been charged in the Capitol riot, with counts that include entering restricted grounds, disorderly conduct, and assaulting police officers, among others.
