WASHINGTON — Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) has a list of all of the people she believes should be pardoned for the Jan. 6 attacks on the Capitol, and she confessed even "the violent ones" should be among those on the list because they aren't "rapists."
Speaking to reporters at the Capitol on Wednesday, Greene said that the attackers should be allowed a pass because they're not as bad as other criminals.
"Many of the people who have been serving in prison, even the violent Jan. 6 defendants. They've been in prison — I think they've served their time. None of them raped anyone. None of them murdered anyone. None of them committed horrific that illegal immigrants get let off all the time in the country. I think he should pardon every single one of them."

There were approximately 140 police officers injured on Jan. 6, and one officer died as a result of injuries, the Justice Department said in a 2023 statement.
A Capitol Police release on Jan. 7 said that USCP Officer Brian Sicknick “passed away due to injuries sustained while on-duty.” The report claimed that Sicknick “was injured while physically engaging with protesters. He returned to his division office and collapsed.”
The medical examiner told reporters the death was a result of two strokes and said, “All that transpired played a role in his condition.”
Greene went on to say that she "procured a full list" that she'll give Trump and that she's been "very involved."
"I haven't heard anyone disagree with me on this," Greene added.
She went on to say that other protesters like Antifa and Black Lives Matter had charges against them that were dropped. That claim is false. An analysis of law enforcement records by The Guardian revealed that many low-level charges like disobeying curfews were dropped.
The report said that the prosecutor suffered from a "lack of evidence" in many of the felony cases.
"District court judge Larry Williams Jr dismissed more than 100 cases because police refused to provide basic evidence, such as body-cam footage," it added.
"It's four years later. Many of these people have been in prison since 2021," Greene said of the Jan. 6 defendants, acknowledging that some were violent.
"Even the ones that fought Capitol Police — caused damage to the Capitol — I think they've served their time, and I think they all should be released from prison," Green claimed.
The FBI continues to arrest people they identify as being involved in the Jan. 6 attacks, meaning not all defendants have been in jail since 2021.
On Tuesday, NBC News reported that "the FBI searched a residential address that public records show is associated with" Michael Koetting, who was spraying officers with bear spray in both hands. He was identified over three years ago, but no charges were filed until recently.
