Republican Reps. Matt Gaetz (Fla.), Majorie Taylor Greene (Ga.) and Louie Gohmert (Texas) on Thursday were turned away from the D.C. Department of Corrections where they tried to visit accused Jan. 6 rioters.
Video shows officers, who said the group was trespassing and “obstructing entrance into this facility,” denying the trio entry.
“The supervisor came down and was standing right here and turned her back on me. The other one said she won’t talk anymore and that we’re trespassers,” Gohmert said in comments to the press after the situation.
“We’re in totalitarian, Marxist territory here. This is the way third-world people get treated,” he added.
