As we reported, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) and Rep. George Santos (R-NY) showed up outside the courthouse in Manhattan where former President Donald Trump was being arraigned to lend him their support.
NYC Mayor Eric Adams had warned Trump supporters who were going to be there to “control” themselves and he took a swipe at Greene telling her she should be on her best behavior. But it was the liberals and media who were exhibiting less than stellar behavior trying to target and drown out the remarks of the lawmakers, swarming them and even chasing Santos down the street.
Greene was able to get in some remarks as they tried to shut her down with whistles and drums.
MTG rails against the arrest of former President Donald Trump and issues stark warning to the American public.

It’s virtually impossible to hear what Marjorie Taylor Greene is saying because counter protesters are drowning her out with chants, whistles, cowbells, drums, and boos pic.twitter.com/7VvVKGlsf1

This gives a sense of the scrum around MTG right now. So much counter noise. Whistles, boos, cheers, chants of USA. Utter pandemonium pic.twitter.com/lPGLBe9EQa

She was engulfed and as even Buzzfeed’s David Mack explained, the chaos was very dangerous and someone could have gotten hurt.

MTG said that they were completely “swarmed.” She also pointed out that one of the people trying to drown out her free speech was city official Jumaane Williams.

The New York Public Advocate Jumaane Williams was one of Mayor Adam’s thugs blowing a whistle at me in the park today across from the courthouse while I peacefully protested and used my free speech rights to protest the weaponization of government and persecution of… pic.twitter.com/6TwDwDN6n6— Rep.

3. The Mayor called me by name and threatened me giving a dog whistle of violence against me.
Will @NYCMayor prosecute his very own New York Public Advocate @nycpa Jumaane Williams? pic.twitter.com/O2zMiuoTOH— Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene🇺🇸 (@RepMTG) April 4, 2023
A Huffington Post reporter confirmed that Williams led a crew there, to drown out MTG’s remarks so she couldn’t be heard.

So, Eric Adams, what do you have to say about your people who try to shut down free speech, protest, and attack democracy like this?
George Santos, meanwhile, was also swarmed and chased down the street by the media and counter-protesters. This was a complete madhouse, with the police trying to prevent the media and counter-protesters from running into the street. Adams completely failed to “control” his people here.

People were falling over, as the media and random people chased him down the street.

That’s crazy. And Eric Adams talks about his city? He couldn’t even control a protest, and it was his people out of hand, not the lawmakers. He let a dangerous situation get chaotic and it’s fortunate that neither one of the lawmakers was hurt here.
