Eric Burlison: Treatment of January 6 "political prisoners" is "heartbreaking"


(From Seventh District Congressman Eric Burlison)

On Monday, I attended Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene’s hearing examining the inhumane treatment of January 6 political prisoners. 

At the hearing, I was able to ask the witnesses several questions relating to the events of January 6 and the weaponization of the federal government against its own citizens. 







The witnesses included a January 6 defendant, two wives of January 6 defendants, two investigative journalists, and two attorneys who have represented January 6 defendants in court.

It was heartbreaking to hear the stories of these individuals and how the government has weaponized our legal system to go after individuals exercising their First Amendment rights.

Later that day, I tried to visit the D.C. jail so I could join my colleague Rep. Josh Brecheen to see firsthand the conditions the January 6 defendants are being held under. Unfortunately, the jail said that they wouldn’t let me in because they “didn’t have room.”

Another local deplorable magat politician needing (ie. benny baker) impeached. What a total loser, eric is unfit for office and an embarrassment to his constituents, whom he obviously believes will join him in thinking 1/6 was justified and the lowlifes who stormed the capital are all boy scouts. Who gives a crap how those treasonous POS are treated in jail, let them rot there. It's where they belong for a very long time. And by the way eric, try all you can but sitting next to the most bat shit crazy magat of all sure makes you look very small.

It's disheartening how politics often overshadow basic human concerns. The inhumane conditions faced by prisoners should be addressed regardless of political beliefs. Imagine if it were a relative or someone you know; your political affiliation shouldn't dictate your sense of empathy and justice.

Hand me a tissue 625. An unbelievably tone death response considering those jailed and unjailed deplorables nearly brought down your country.

He seems triggered about criminals being locked up.

Is it because the criminals are his people?
