'Exactly what I wanted': Greene says town hall protesters who got tased were 'out of line'

Several protesters were forcibly removed by police at a town hall meeting Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) hosted on Tuesday night — and one person was tased.

Greene's town hall in Acworth, Georgia — which is in Cobb County, roughly an hour north of Atlanta — was immediately disrupted by protesters despite the Georgia Republican warning attendees that any outbursts would not be tolerated. Shortly after the meeting began, a man began shouting while Greene was adjusting her microphone. As he was being escorted out by police, Greene and several of her supporters applauded.

X user Molly Ploofkins, whose bio describes her as a retired Army medic and registered nurse, tweeted a video of one protester being pushed into the corner of the room. As police surrounded the man, the sound of tasers being deployed could be heard, which prompted some Greene supporters to loudly cheer.

In another video posted by Democratic influencer Harry Sisson, a protester can be heard yelling at Greene while the Georgia Republican talked about alleged criminals crossing the Southern border into the United States. As the woman shouted: "What about the KKK harassing Black and Brown people," Greene taunted the woman by saying: "The protest is outside. Have fun out there!"

The questions Greene took appeared to be pre-screened, with the congresswoman reading them aloud as they were displayed on PowerPoint slides. However, Atlanta Journal-Constitution reporter Greg Bluestein tweeted that one constituent asked: "Why are you such a coward in the face of an obvious fascist takeover?" Greene disputed that President Donald Trump's administration was "fascist," and praised him as the "most transparent" president in history who "talks to the press every single day." He then observed that a protester who pointed out that the Trump administration continued to ban the Associated Press from the White House press pool was removed.

The Georgia Republican then held a gaggle with reporters outside the town hall venue and said that she was pleased with how the protesters who disrupted the meeting were handled.

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