“We just came to ask questions”
Asshole, go away. I wouldn’t let him into my building either.
Also, I think Gomert wins the award for the lowest IQ in Congress. And that is not that high a bar these days.

The DC Department of Corrections locked out multiple Members of Congress from reviewing the conditions of the January 6th prisoners.
Why does he think that members of congress should have unilateral access to anything they want? He has no authority there, what a tool.

Well, you don’t want a big window…

He’ll be on the inside soon enough. If he would plead guilty, the trial will go much faster.

Probably there to intimidate his collaborators into not flipping on him.
ETA: Prison guards might not be the smartest demographic for him to be annoying.

“What are they hiding?”
Got to give him credit. He definitely knows how to play to his supporters and get them riled-up. For them, his refusal of entry can be for no other reason than to prevent him from seeing the “patriots” being mistreated.

Why the actual fuck would they believe their unsolicited presence would be welcome at a freakin’ prison, which would only cause disruption and more work for the staff?
Nobody answer that; I know these fucking whackadoos don’t inhabit the same reality as the rest of us…

They are clearly trying to draw a false equivalency between the imprisoned insurrectionists and detained and imprisoned immigrants at detention centers along the southern border

Oh, I get what they are doing; they are batshit if they think that kind of stunt would be welcome at a prison.

Oh I reckon he’ll find it really easy to get into a jail fairly soon.

There’s a reason I call him Gohmert Pyle.
He even sounds a bit like Gomer Pyle.
And he’s completely wrong that “this is a rare time under this administration where prison is used to lock people out instead of lock people in.”
It’s a jail, not a prison, and all jails and prisons lock people out who aren’t supposed/allowed to be there. Do they think anyone can just walk in?
“Hi, I’m just here to visit. No, I don’t know any current inmates. I just wanted to walk around with a camera and film a political stunt to piss off my rage-boner audience.”
The only time they get upset about the incarceration of inmates is when they’re predominantly white conservative domestic terrorists.

Keep knocking, and the joy inside
will eventually open a window
and look out to see who’s there.

I hear them knocking, but they can’t come in.

Don’t “come back tomorrow;” don’t “try it again.”

Gaetz is endlessly inventive in his tr_lling.
I couldn’t imagine he would try to treat the 1/6 terrorists as “political prisoners”.
which ones are those again?
the vast majority so far as i understand are all out on their own recognizance. even for felony charges. heck even someone like rittenhouse is out on bail, violating probation rules, and still staying out of jail.
which is exactly how it’s been for most people before trump. you were assigned a court date, and you had to show up at the appointed day, till then you were on your own.
most immigration violations are considered minor misdemeanors ( unless you miss that court date )
