We’re off to an insanely tense start at the @RepMTG town hall in Cobb County. Three people have been removed and one of them was tased after scuffling with police.
MTG said that she was very happy with how the police handled the situation.
Here’s what she had to say in response:

A town hall hosted by Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia was repeatedly disrupted by protesters Tuesday evening, with local police arresting three people — including one who was tased inside the venue.Within minutes of Greene entering the venue in Cobb County, Georgia, audience members began interrupting her and a handful of scattered disruptions continued through the night. About six people were removed from the event space by police officers, three of whom were arrested, the Acworth Police Department confirmed to CBS News.Early in the event, one protester struggled with police who tried to remove him, telling officers to get their hands off him. Police then used a taser on him. Acworth police later said officers used a taser on a second attendee.
Greene reacted to the disruptions by thanking police and saying “we will not tolerate” heckling. Shortly after a protester was tased, she said, “This is a peaceful town hall.”
After the event, the congresswoman told reporters she’s “very thankful” for how police handled the protests, calling the attendees “out of line” and saying, “this isn’t a political rally or a protest.”
“I’m glad they got thrown out. That’s exactly what I wanted to see happen,” she said.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, one of President Donald Trump’s most loyal allies in the House, faced several protesters who were removed by police for disrupting her town hall on Tuesday.
Police said at least six attendees were escorted out without incident, while three others were arrested — two of whom were stunned with a Taser during their removal.
The event was held at the Acworth Community Center in Greene’s home state of Georgia on Tuesday, with disruptions breaking out almost immediately after the congresswoman took the stage.
“Well, welcome everyone,” Greene said, kicking off the meeting as police removed at least three protesters. “Thank you, Thank you to our great police officers… This is not a political rally. This is not a protest. If you stand up and want to protest, if you want to shout and chant, we will have you removed, just like that man was thrown out.”
