Atlanta News First reports:
A Georgia senator who had been previously banned from the floor of the state House was arrested Thursday when he tried to attend Gov. Brian Kemp’s State of the State address. The governor’s annual speech is delivered from the Georgia House chamber, and state Sen. Colton Moore (R-Trenton) was banned last year after he denounced late House Speaker David Ralston as “one of the most corrupt Georgia leaders we’ll ever see in our lifetime.”
Moore, who drew fire from within his own party for his criticism of Fulton County DA Fani Willis’ investigation and subsequent indictment of Donald Trump, accused Ralston of delaying legal and judicial cases involving suspected criminals. In September 2023, after Moore called for a special session to review Willis following her indictment of Trump, he was suspended from his party’s caucus.
Read the full article. Moore last appeared here in January 2024 when he introduced a bill to ban all RICO-based charges in order to protect Glorious Leader. In 2023, he predicted civil war if Trump were to go on trial in Georgia.
Colton Moore was arrested today. His case will now be prosecuted by the Fulton County DA. I believe her name is Fani Willis. https://t.co/WVQqRDKsMO
