NextImg:Circus underway: Marjorie Taylor Greene, George Santos home in on Trump indictment

Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene gave a brief speech at a rally across the street from Manhattan Criminal Courthouse Tuesday to protest the indictment of former President Donald Trump.

“We are here to peacefully protest against the persecution of an innocent man. Not just any innocent man, this is the former president of the United States of America,” Greene told the crowd.

At the protest, put on with the New York Young Republicans, a group with ties to white nationalists, there were nearly more media than there were protestors. About 300 people turned out to protest Trump’s indictment with Greene, with nearly 150 counterprotesters also on the scene.

While Greene was only present at the protest for about 10 minutes, conservative members swarmed around Greene, shoving and elbowing to get a glimpse at the congressmember. NYPD escorted her out.

New York Rep. George Santos quickly walked by the courthouse earlier Tuesday, not stopping to protest or answer questions.

“I wanted to support the president because this is unprecedented, and this is a bad day for democracy,” Santos told reporters. “This starts a precedent of what’s to stop the next prosecutor in two years to do the same thing to Joe Biden and moving on every four years.”

“This cheapens the judicial system, not good for America.”

Santos did not answer multiple questions about his own legal troubles.

On Monday, New York City Mayor Eric Adams had a message for Greene and protesters: “Control yourselves.”

“People like Marjorie Taylor Greene, who is known to spread misinformation and hate speech, while you’re in town, be on your best behavior,” Adams said at a City Hall press conference about security preparations.

At the protest, Greene responded to Adams’ comments.

“Also, to the Mayor Adams, as you can see, I am here peacefully protesting. He called me out by name,” Greene said.

Trump is set to be arraigned Tuesday following his indictment over alleged hush money payments to porn star Stormy Daniels.
