A Georgia state senator who was previously banned from the state House chamber was arrested Thursday when he tried to enter the chamber for the governor’s state of the state speech and got into a shoving match with House employees.

State Sen. Colton Moore, a Republican from Trenton, is among the chamber’s most right-wing members. He signaled Wednesday that he would seek a showdown when he called House Speaker Jon Burns, a fellow Republican, a “tyrant” on social media.

The arrest is one of several examples of state officials trying to restrain lawmakers or onlookers as legislative sessions begin in 2025.

Colton Moore's arrest was contrary to the Constitution of the state of Georgia which states that no elected representative may be banned from entering the State Assembly except for treason , espionage or felony.

Kemp is using his state house black slave police detail to arrest Colton Moore.YOu can see it on the video ( Yes I played that race card...why not...its truth)

Moore is a MAGA supporter, The GOP good old boys who are RINOs do not want their state money cart upset , they depend on its lucre.This incident may be Kemp's undoing politically, as the old guard Republicans try to hang on to power.

Video Sources are good and accurate...listen to what MAGA supporter Moore has to say:

Video of Moore take down and subsequent comments by Moore,,,,this is not Over, not by a long shot

Georgia has a problem- its GOP is infested with rinos....and they just assured Colton’s landslide re-election.

I couldn’t have said it better myself. This ain’t over. I already see a number of known RINOs following Gov. Kemp’s example and planting their pictures with Trump or Vance on Facebook platforms in their districts.

RINOs: Dues-paying sycophants of the Georgia Chamber of Crypto-Fascist, Crony Commerce.
