Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) appeared to defend the leader of the Proud Boys militia group after the Justice Department (DOJ) announced it is seeking a 33-year sentence for his role in planning the Jan. 6 insurrection.
Enrique Tarrio was found guilty of seditious conspiracy in May, the most serious charge brought against anyone related to the riots. A 33-year sentence is the longest requested and would be the longest handed down in the Capitol riot cases, if accepted by a judge.
“You know who the Justice Department is not seeking 33 years in prison for?” Greene said on X, formerly Twitter, on Friday. “Antifa/BLM violent rioters who burned, looted, destroyed $2 billion in property in George Floyd riots. And Hunter Biden and Joe Biden for taking criminal bribes selling political influence and favors.”

'Appeared'?
To be fair, when people blatantly do things they also appear to do the things they are doing.
Yes but I don't go into living room and see that my partner is 'apparently' watching TV. I'm not 'apparently' driving down to the corner store for some biscuits.
Although maybe I should start incorporating this into regular use.
It might also be to avoid libel lawsuits. Many outlets will use weasel words like 'allegedly' even if the proof is concrete. It's all to avoid liability.
Thats a good point, allegedly.
certainly wasn't an apparition.
Allegedly.
