In Georgia, a man was tased by police on Tuesday as protesters peacefully disrupted a town hall in Cobb County hosted by Republican Congressmember Marjorie Taylor Greene. Video shows several police officers escorting the man out of the venue when one of the officers fired the Taser. Shortly after the protester was tased, Greene said to the crowd, “This is a peaceful town hall.” 

At a separate Republican town hall in Iowa Tuesday, a crowd heckled and grilled 91-year-old Senator Chuck Grassley on the Trump administration’s mass deportation scheme.

Iowa constituent: “The Constitution, the framers of the Constitution said that every person — not citizen, every person — within the jurisdiction of the United States has due process. That has been violated. That’s been violated by the oligarchic administration. And we would like to know what you, as the people, the Congress, who are supposed to rein in this dictator, what are you going to do about it? These people have been sentenced to life imprisonment in a foreign country with no due process.”

Republican lawmakers, who are back in their districts during a two-week congressional recess, have largely opted out of town halls or shifted to virtual town halls to avoid protests.
