Police tase 2 demonstrators at Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s town hall

Several attendees were removed from a town hall event on Tuesday night in Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s Georgia district, with police using stun devices on two of them. A video captured a man being restrained by officers and then stunned as he tried to stand up. Some spectators could be heard applauding.

Greene had cautioned the audience against disruptions after an attendee interrupted her at the start of the event at a community center in Acworth. She declared that the town hall was not a place for protests or rallies, and anyone causing disturbances would be swiftly removed.

Acworth police reported that three individuals, Johnny Keith Williams, Andrew Russell Nelms, and Kiyana Davis, were arrested for disrupting the event. Williams and Nelms were charged with battery and obstruction of an officer, while Davis was accused of using foul language.

During the town hall, Greene responded to questions from constituents, including criticisms of Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency and Donald Trump’s tariffs. She also addressed concerns about potential cuts to Social Security and Medicaid.

Despite the disruptions by some audience members, Greene maintained her support for Trump and his agenda. She dismissed questions critical of the former president as being influenced by misinformation.

While some attendees were peacefully escorted out of the event, others protested outside. Greene defended the removal of disruptive individuals, stating that the majority of the audience supported the actions taken by the officers.

Rep. Richard Hudson had previously advised GOP lawmakers against holding town hall events due to the potential for confrontations with attendees critical of government policies. Acworth police expressed disappointment over the disruption caused by a small number of people at an otherwise peaceful gathering.
