STORYLINE:
U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene came to a town hall in suburban Atlanta on Tuesday night to deliver a full-throated support of President Donald Trump, and she wasn’t letting the protesters faze her — not even the one who was wrestled to the ground by police and subdued with a Taser.
Three people were arrested at the event, and others were escorted out because Greene and police said they were being disruptive. But a majority of the crowd of more than 150 were supportive of the Republican, who represents a heavily GOP district stretching from Atlanta’s northwest suburbs to the Tennessee border.
Greene, long one of Trump’s most loyal allies, has said she’s considering running for U.S. Senate or Georgia governor in 2026 but has yet to take any apparent moves toward what would likely be a bruising race in the politically competitive state.
“This is a town hall, this is not a political rally, this is not a protest,” Greene said.
Acworth Police Sgt. Eric Mistretta said he did not yet have the names of the people arrested or the charges filed against them after the meeting. He said he believed officers responded with appropriate force to people who yelled at Greene and then resisted removal, although none approached her.
About 30 officers provided security including Cobb County police and sheriff’s deputies, Mistretta said.
