Watch: Trump-loving Georgia Republican thrown to the ground by cops after defying order
Georgia State Sen. Colton Moore, who in the past has led the charge against Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis for her prosecution of President-elect Donald Trump, was shoved to the ground and then arrested on Thursday for defying an order that barred him from entering the Georgia House chamber.
As Local 3 News reports, Moore had been barred from the chamber for making "comments about a deceased former colleague" that offended his fellow Republicans.

In the video, Moore can be seen repeatedly trying to get past security officials to enter the chamber, where Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp was set to deliver his state of the state address.
At one point, he tries to wedge himself through the door to access the chamber, only to be tossed to the ground. After he gets up, he is surrounded by state troopers.
Colton then makes a brief speech about being "duly elected" to represent the people of north Georgia and accuses the police of acting in an "unconstitutional" manner by trying to keep him out of the chamber.
The officers proceed to handcuff him and take him away.
