On Tuesday evening in suburban Atlanta, the political powder keg that is modern America once again flared into open confrontation. Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, a figure known for both unflinching rhetoric and unapologetic patriotism, hosted a town hall that quickly turned chaotic thanks to a determined, if ultimately ill-prepared, group of protesters.
What followed was a swift and unmistakable message: law and order, not disorder, would prevail.
Greene shared video footage from the event on social media, highlighting the firm yet professional response from local law enforcement. “GREAT police officers,” she praised, and the footage backed it up. Officers issued clear warnings—“Stop” and “Don’t do it”—before taking action. For one man who ignored those warnings, it ended in a flash of electricity: a taser deployment caught on camera, underscoring that provocations would be met with consequences.
For anyone questioning or criticizing the police at my townhall last night, the GREAT police officers conducted themselves in textbook fashion and protected every single person there by keeping the peace!!!!!

The confrontation began at the outset of the event. Protesters—some clearly coordinated—made efforts to disrupt the gathering. Their motives varied, but their tactics were familiar: shout-downs, chants, physical resistance. And while many in the audience stood in support of Greene, it was the law enforcement officers who became the frontline defense, protecting the democratic process from descending into chaos.
Crowd chants of “U.S.A.!” erupted as protesters were escorted out. One man referenced Kilmar Ábrego García—a deported illegal alien whose case has become a rallying point for open-border activists—shouting “Free Kilmar!” before being removed. Greene, never one to shy away from confrontation, responded with barbed humor and Southern courtesy, telling a woman who swore at her to “Be safe going home!” as she was escorted from the building.
We’re off to an insanely tense start at the @RepMTG town hall in Cobb County. Three people have been removed and one of them was tased after scuffling with police.

In total, six individuals were removed from the event. Two were tased, and three were arrested. The Acworth Police Department later confirmed the seriousness of the altercations. Their statement detailed physical resistance, verbal threats, and actual harm to officers in the line of duty. Charges included obstruction and simple battery on law enforcement.
Yet despite the noise, the town hall proceeded. The Acworth city government emphasized their dual commitment: unwavering support for the men and women in uniform and equal protection for all elected representatives utilizing public spaces. In their words, the purpose of the event was clear—“for Congresswoman Greene to communicate to her constituents, not to place others in danger.”
At the end of my townhall, one terribly confused and brainwashed Democrat attendee left chanting “free Kilmar” as he wrongfully defended an MS-13 gang member, Kilmar Garcia, who has been deported to his home country El Salvador.
Democrat Americans like this man are lied to… pic.twitter.com/8viHsDUhzT
