...to commiserate with them for the awful way they have been portrayed after they attacked our Capitol. They want them to know that they are sympathetic to their cause.
After all, they were only demonstrating to show their grievances. Primarily, their major grievance was that they were butt-hurt after their Leader lost the election. In their minds, it was not possible for their Leader to lose. A tyrannical government, led by Joe Biden, put them in prison for their political beliefs.
And the Republicans that joined with them on that infamous day are accomplices to the attack upon our Capitol. They chose to participate in a "coup". They wanted to overthrow the elected government and install their Leader for life.
Now, they trek down to the DC Jail to hold hands with the criminals that did the dirty work. They wallow in their victimhood.

She appeared on Morning Joe earlier today and said that based upon her experience as a public defender in Texas, that she seriously doubted that these prisoners are undergoing anything close to the typical conditions of many Texas inmates. There are other Texas jails for example without air conditioning where prisoners have died due to the heat.
