‘Bye!’ MTG's town hall devolves into chaos as protesters thrown out and Tased
Several protesters at Marjorie Taylor Greene's town hall were forcibly removed by law enforcement on Tuesday, including a man whom police zapped with a stun gun as the MAGA lawmaker scolded Democrats.
The first outburst happened just seconds after Greene took the stage, which prompted at least five police officers to surround and physically escort the man out of the large event center in Cobb County, Georgia.
“Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to my town hall,” Greene said as she applauded and thanked police. “This is a town hall, 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.”
She added: “We will not tolerate it!”
But the flare-ups were just beginning.

As Greene blamed Democrats just seconds later for being “the party of violence," she yelled “Go!” as she pointed to a second demonstrator who spoke out before police followed her directives and removed him. That was followed by third protester, whose exit resulted in a tense scuffle with a group of police officers before he was zapped with a stun gun as the audience – and the media – looked on.
The town hall became even more unhinged as a woman – who became at least the sixth to be kicked out – yelled, “what about the KKK?” as Greene made disparaging remarks about migrants.
“The protest is outside, thank you very much,” Greene said. “Bye! Have fun out there!” Those that remained in the audience stood up and applauded. Earlier in the day, Greene vowed that Democrats protesting her Tuesday town hall event would be "thrown out."
