Georgia state Senator Colton Moore, who represents the 53rd Senate District, received a hero’s welcome at the State Capitol following his arrest for defying a ban from the House Chamber. Speaker Jon Burns had banned Moore over controversial remarks about late House Speaker David Ralston, but lifted the ban the day after the arrest. Moore was charged with willful obstruction of a law enforcement officer but insists his rights were violated.
Dozens of Moore’s supporters rallied at the State Capitol in response to his arrest, with one supporter criticizing cronyism and emphasizing the need for every voice to be heard. Another supporter expressed outrage at how Moore and his constituents were treated, calling it completely wrong.
Moore thanked his supporters and described them as concerned citizens from all over the state. He accused Speaker Burns of going rogue and violating the Constitution, vowing to ensure that such actions do not happen again. Moore’s actions and the reactions of his supporters have stirred controversy in Georgia politics, with the situation unfolding under the watchful eye of the media, including original reporting by FOX 5 Atlanta.
