State speaker bans Trump-supporting GOP senator, has him arrested

Political differences, once again, have descended to physical blows as an "anti-Trump" Georgia House speaker banned a Trump-supporting senator from the House floor during a state of the state event, and he tried to enter anyway.

He was slammed to the floor by police and arrested.

Colton Moore, a Georgia state senator, had been banned from the House floor when he commented on the career, negatively, of the late House Speaker David Ralston.

He also had been dropped from the Senate Republican Caucus over his demands for a special legislative session to investigate Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, who hired her paramour at the cost of $600,000 in tax money to create a failed organized crime case against President-elect Donald Trump.

She's still trying to move forward on that case, even though she and her paramour both have been thrown of the case by higher courts for the appearance of impropriety.

Social media video and explanations document how Moore "just got handcuffed & arrested by the RINO House Speaker after he tried to attend the State of the State session to do his job."

The report said, "Moore tried to enter the Chamber and got physically blocked from entering. They stationed cops and guards outside the door, and when he tried to get in, they wrestled him to the ground (LITERAL ASSAULT). Moore got suspended from the GOP Caucus last year after he called for the impeachment of Fani Willis. The State establishment led by Brian Kemp decided to put a target on his back because his advocacy to impeach Willis embarrassed them on a national stage. What just happened is super unconstitutional, and people need to get locked up."

Fox reported he was trying to attend the state address from Gov. Brian Kemp.

Moore had told an officer "This is a joint session of the General Assembly. Your House rules do not apply. I'm going into the chamber."

Moore then was pushed to the ground and surrounded by state patrol officers.

Moore's comments about Ralston came when there was a plan to name a building at a university in his memory. Moore's opinion of Ralston? "One of the most corrupt Georgia leaders that we are ever going to see in my lifetime."

Then-House Speaker Jon Burn claimed Moore was saying "some of the vilest that you can make about a good man" and ordered him banned from the House floor.

Moore's response was, "I will NEVER back down. I will ALWAYS speak the truth and represent the people of Northwest Georgia as their trusted America First Senator."

Georgia Republican chairman Josh McKoon said the arrest was "deeply" disappointing and he was "shocked" Moore was taken into custody.

"It was not only legally appropriate to admit him to today's proceedings — it was simply the right thing to do," McKoon said. "Our focus should be on the excellent agenda being outlined by Governor Kemp today to continue to make Georgia the best place in the country to live, work, and raise a family — not internal conflicts."
