Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has become an advocate for prison reform the way many advocates for prison reform do: She became familiar with the conditions under which many prisoners are commonly held.
In Greene’s case, though, the advocacy is riddled with qualifiers and constraints. It’s not that the Georgia Republican is worried about how and why prisoners are held in general; she’s instead worried about how and why a particular group of prisoners is being held — specifically, those dozens of individuals arrested for their roles in the riot at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6.
Her constituency. No big surprise here. She doesn't have a "moral" bone in her skull, it's all about the circus for performance approval, so she's pinned herself to the red nose of clownishness. It's fun for tea conversation but greater Dem conversation should avoid getting into the act.
