The NYPD released an image of the suspect.
Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene was not indifferent to the latest events in New York after a Guatemalan immigrant was charged with setting fire to a subway car and burning a woman to death.
The Republican published a message on social media to declare that the accused, Sebastian Zapeta, deserves nothing more than the death penalty, without even wasting time in a judicial process.
The representative, known for her controversial and radical positions within the party assured: "Death penalty, do not waste money on a long trial. Convict him and be done with him. What he did is so unbelievably evil. I can't watch the video anymore. And how it looks like no one tried to save her is beyond me."
The NYPD's open investigation noted at a press conference that Zapeta allegedly "used what we believe to be a lighter to set fire to the victim's clothing, which was completely engulfed in a matter of seconds." Assistant US Attorney Ari Rottenberg alleged in court Tuesday that the suspect fanned the fire with a shirt.
