A Georgia state senator was dramatically pushed to the ground and arrested after he appeared at the state house's chambers, despite being banned.
Senator Colton Moore, who is Republican, was banned from setting foot inside the chamber after making comments about the late House Speaker David Ralston.
On Thursday, during Governor Brian Kemp's State of the State Address, Moore attempted to get inside the chamber.
Footage shows his attempts being rebuffed, as he was shoved to the ground before being arrested.
As he dusts himself down, Moore could be heard telling state troopers and other officials that it was his constitutional right to be inside.
He said: 'I have an obligation to be in that room, I represent 200,000 people in northwest Georgia who duly elected me to be here today.
'Unconstitutional, you have no respect for the constitution. Complete disrespect to the constitution.'
Moore has a brief interaction with a state trooper directly where he is informed he wouldn't be allowed inside, as a group officers place him in cuffs.

This is the despicably GOPe flexing their muscles. If Trump does nothing about it or says nothing about it then he is no longer on our side, he has surrendered and taken us a deal.
It’s what our Government does to those who have conservative opinions
"Our Democracy" spits on that.
This is a disgrace.
how can a senator be banned from there? What am I missing?
He was not shoved to the ground...he got off balance and lost his footing. I’m inclined to think he’s drunk. Maybe not???
Nonsense.
Apparently the Rats.... er.... RINO’s have an aversion to the truth.
He looked drunk to me.
GA. one of the most corrupt political regimes on earth.
He took down a couple of corrupted politicians and had the gall to go after Fani Willis. That’s what got him “barred.”
All those major corporations headquartered in Atlanta run the show for better or worse. They buy Democrats too.
Gratuitous accusation.
I have read that you don’t get elected in Atlanta as a Republican unless the Democrats okay you.
Appears that no one here read the article. He is a GA State Senator and banned from the GA House last year for speech the House didn’t like.....
shrugs. national socialism meets the uniparty.
Herr Kempf would have done well in 1930’s Germany.
“Appears that no one here read the article. He is a GA State Senator and banned from the GA House last year for speech the House didn’t like.....”
Come on man...... it’s been FR tradition for as long as I can remember.
Enough with you turning on Trump over everything, every freaking issue you think he’s going to betray us.
LOLOLOL - that’s an absolutely pathetic response. This is a state senator. It’s a state matter. Girdle up your loins Nancy, it’s going to be a rough four years of Trump winning.
