Marjorie Taylor Greene Laughs Off Protests To Deliver Pro-trump Message At Georgia Town Hall

marjorie taylor greene laughs off protests to deliver protrump message at georgia town hall

U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene came to a town hall in suburban Atlanta on Tuesday night to deliver 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 - including a second person police said they also shocked - and others were escorted out because Greene and police said they were being disruptive. But a majority of the crowd of more than 150 was supportive of the Republican, who represents a heavily GOP district stretching from Atlanta's northwest suburbs to the Tennessee border.

"What am I going to do? I am going to stand by my president," Greene said in response to a critical question as many audience members whooped in approval. She added that she would "fight for his agenda with everything I have in Congress."

While Republican congressional leaders have advised their members not to hold town hall meetings , Greene has always courted the spotlight. After giving a speech and playing video clips of her supporting Trump, she answered questions that had been submitted in advance and printed on slides.

Most were supportive, like one asking when officials could begin arresting politicians accused of treason. Greene was dismissive of most of the hostile questions, twice suggesting that those behind them were Democrats "brainwashed" by their news consumption.
