State Sen. Colton Moore, a staunch supporter of President-elect Trump, was arrested Thursday while attempting to enter the Georgia state House chamber for Gov. Brian Kemp's State of the State Address. Moore, who had previously attempted to impeach Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis for indicting Trump, was banned from the chamber after criticizing the state Senate's decision to name a building after former Speaker David Ralston. Despite being told he couldn't enter, Moore insisted on his constitutional right and a scuffle ensued, resulting in his arrest.
A Georgia state senator and hardline supporter of President-elect Trump appeared to be pushed to the floor before being arrested while trying to enter the state House chamber on Thursday. State Sen. Colton Moore, who previously tried to have Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis impeached for indicting Trump, tried to enter the House floor to attend Gov. Brian Kemp's State of the State Address — but was ultimately led away in handcuffs.
This body is about to memorialize, in my opinion, one of the most corrupt Georgia leaders that we are ever going to see in my lifetime,' Moore exclaimed at the time. On Wednesday, Moore wrote to current House Speaker Jon Burns outlining why he thought the ban was unconstitutional and said he intended to be at today’s joint session. 'I will NEVER back down,' Moore wrote on X, sharing the letter he penned to Burns.
The Georgia RINOs responded to my call to fight back against the Trump witch hunts by acting like children and throwing me out of the caucus,' Moore wrote on X at the time. 'But I’m not going anywhere.' Moore was the most prominent backer of a special session to impeach and remove Willis or defund her office, winning Trump’s endorsement. Kemp denounced the call as 'some grifter scam' to raise campaign contributions for Moore.
