Newsweek reports:
Police escorted a reporter from a town hall event in Dalton, Georgia after she attempted to ask Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) a question on Wednesday night. Meredith Aldis, a reporter for Tennessee NBC affiliate WRCB, was removed from the event immediately after questioning the congresswoman, according to the outlet.
During Wednesday’s town hall, Greene portrayed herself as a victim of unfair media coverage. She complained that her “really nice” posts about Bible verses were not making headlines instead.
“They’re going to dig up anything they can to make me sound like a monster and a horrible person and they’re gonna report about that nonstop. But they’re never gonna post about the thousand and thousands of really nice Facebook or Twitter posts that I’ve made.”
In Dalton, Marjorie Taylor Greene hosts the second of three town hall meetings she scheduled this week in Northwest Georgia. She opened with thanking those constituents for coming. I count about 60 people here pic.twitter.com/MkH1zgcxS8

Question from the crowd: How do we stop Speaker Pelosi? Greene says you can’t, because she’s the third most powerful person in the country and the Democrats hold the majority. Greene says she got into politics by trying to impeach Pelosi and will continue to work toward that goal

Greene criticizes the media for reporting stories about her controversial posts and comments. Says the media doesn’t cover her other posts about Bible verses, congratulating friends on social media, etc.

.@MeredithAWRCB tries to ask Greene a follow up question after Greene mentioned the recent stories. Greene’s team told me there wouldn’t be any media availability. Meredith tried anyway and was escorted out, which Greene’s team told me would happen if we tried pic.twitter.com/qFwtGLMPtW

Here’s video I found of Marjorie Taylor Greene ranting at David Hogg again, this time in the hallways of a House Office Building. Greene’s rant is then drowned out by loud chants of “enough is enough” from March for Our Lives supporters. What Greene says is beyond disturbing. pic.twitter.com/avaJ1xvrWc
