A town hall for Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia outside of Atlanta on Tuesday quickly deteriorated into chaos, as police officers forcibly removed several protesters.

Ms. Greene, a Republican firebrand and loyal ally of President Trump, had barely reached the podium to speak when a man in the crowd at the Acworth Community Center stood up and started yelling, booing and jeering at her. As her supporters stood and clapped, several police officers grabbed the man, later identified by the police as REDACTED, and dragged him out of the room.

If there's a video, I didn't see it. But his jeering couldn't have been any worse than what Empty-G's done during House sessions or the SOTU or at a Parkland survivor.

Summary of TFA: A couple people got dragged out, but the klan rally was mostly uninterrupted.

People there like her. Because they are awful like all people.

The man's identity should not be allowed to be publicly blasted to the media by police for checks notes NOT committing a crime.

Stupid paywall that 12ft.io couldn't break but, honestly, I'm grateful because the article probably had direct quotes from MTG which would have obviously been upsetting so I'm glad I missed it. Thanks, OP, for making the content unavailable!

Just soya know, OP edited in the archive link that you don't have to open, 20 minutes before you posted your comment. Have a nice day.

Thanks for the heads up. Must have taken a minute to federate the change, I can see it now. Appreciate your civil response versus..., you know.

This is a prime MAGAt. I am sure she loved a little torture with her town hall.

I expect Xitter will be full of “don’t taze me bro” spinoffs

On second thought the bots aren’t that smart.
