Marjorie Taylor Greene says ‘Diddy’ verdict means Hunter Biden should go to jail
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) reacted to a partial guilty verdict against Sean "Diddy" Combs by insisting that Hunter Biden should be prosecuted for the same crimes.
After the musician was found guilty of prostitution-related offenses based on the Mann Act, former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) suggested that Combs was targeted because he was Black.
"Diddy has spent nearly 10 months in jail for two Mann Act violations," Gaetz said in a Wednesday promotion for his television show. "We explore the origins of the Mann Act and how it has been used against famous Black people since its inception more than 100 years ago."
"The denial of bail in this matter is nonsense," he insisted.
On Thursday, Greene responded to Gaetz by arguing that "Diddy belongs in jail for a very long time."
"Also notice that while the Mann Act has been used against many black men, it was not used against one white man," she added. "His name is Hunter Biden."
"I brought the receipts last Congress, and the DOJ never prosecuted and Hunter was pardoned," Greene stated.
