Chaos at Marjorie Taylor Greene's Cobb town hall; Tasers, arrests and MAGA politics

(Atlanta Journal-Constitution) U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s town hall on Tuesday was repeatedly disrupted by demonstrators who jeered the Republican’s embrace of President Donald Trump’s policies and her steadfast support for his budget-cutting, government-shrinking initiatives.

Two of the protesters at the Acworth Community Center were shocked with a Taser after resisting arrest, Acworth Police Sgt. Eric Mistretta said. At least six people were ejected from the event, and three were charged in connection with the disruption, one of them with disorderly conduct, Mistretta said.

The altercations dominated the town hall, which also attracted dozens of demonstrators outside the event for hours, waving signs and protesting Greene’s MAGA stances. Greene, meanwhile, thanked the roughly 30 law enforcement officers for the aggressive approach.

“I’m glad they got thrown out. That’s exactly what I wanted to see happen,” she said after the roughly hourlong event. “This isn’t a political rally or a protest. I held a town hall tonight. You know who was out of line? The protesters.”
