Marjorie Taylor Greene‘s town hall quickly went off the rails … with multiple protesters arrested by cops, and some were even hit with tasers.
The chaotic event went down Tuesday evening just outside Atlanta, where Rep. Greene was continually interrupted by several protesters while speaking at the podium.

One jarring video shows cops escorting a protester out of the event, and when he tells them to get their hands off him, he’s immediately taken to the ground with tasers.
As the man drops to the floor, the crowd erupts with cheers and applause… with MTG announcing, “This is a peaceful town hall,” and went on to praise the officers for their response.
Another shocking clip shows a protester resisting officers, asking, “Are you really doing this?” before being wrestled to the ground and dragged out of the event.

The heckling didn’t stop there … with a female protester jumping from her seat during MTG’s speech, screaming at the congresswoman and repeatedly calling her a “butch body bigot.”
According to a press release obtained by TMZ, six people were kicked out of the town hall, and three were arrested. Andrew Nelms of Atlanta and Jonny Williams of Dallas face charges of simple battery on a law enforcement officer and obstructing a law enforcement officer — while the third, Kiyana Davis, is being charged with vulgar language.
The city of Acworth, Georgia, says a taser was used on two individuals because officers “were threatened, physically resisted, and harmed” in the process of removing them from the town hall.
The city additionally confirms police provided a designated protest area … and says it’s “disappointing” a few people disrupted “what was otherwise a completely peaceful event.”
