Georgia State Senator Ban Revoked After Ugly Chamber Incident

Republican Georgia state Sen. Colton Moore speaks to reporters outside the Georgia Capitol in Atlanta, Sept. 7, 2023. Fellow state Senate Republicans suspended Moore from their caucus, Thursday, Sept.

A Georgia state senator had his ban from entering the state House chamber revoked after an incident that occurred during Gov. Brian Kemp's State of the State Address. State Sen. Colton Moore, a strong supporter of President-elect Trump, was involved in a confrontation at the entrance to the House chamber. Moore was pushed to the floor by a lawyer for House Speaker Jon Burns' office, resulting in his arrest and hospitalization.

Moore had been banned from the chamber for criticizing a resolution to name a building after the late former house speaker David Ralston. Despite attempts to enter, Moore was arrested by state troopers. He later posted a video from the hospital, showing injuries sustained during the altercation.
