“Senator Colton Moore, who exposed and defeated corrupt District Attorney Fani Willis last year, has been arrested by the Anti-Trump Speaker of the Georgia House. Colton is being held in the same Atlanta jail as President Trump. We are working to ensure his expedient release,” a message from Moore’s X account read.
“Please pray for all those standing up for freedom and peace for all Georgians,” it added.

FOX 5 Atlanta reports:
After struggling to get in, Moore was pushed to the ground. He was then surrounded by members of the Georgia State Patrol.
Moore’s attorney confirmed that the senator was arrested and taken to the Fulton County Jail.
It is not known what charges Moore may be facing.
In March 2024, Moore was forbidden from entering the House chambers after making disparaging comments about late House Speaker David Ralston.
While the Georgia Senate considered a resolution to name a building at the University of North Georgia in Ralston’s memory. Moore urged senators not to approve the name change and blasted Ralston’s work as a lawyer and politician.
“This body is about to memorialize, in my opinion, one of the most corrupt Georgia leaders that we are ever going to see in my lifetime,” exclaimed Moore, as some of Ralston’s relatives watched from the Senate balcony.

“Georgia’s Republican Senate Caucus is suspending a GOP state senator who attacked them for opposing his plan to impeach Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis for indicting former President Donald Trump,” the Associated Press wrote in 2023.
BACKGROUND: Senator Moore was kicked out of the Senate GOP Caucus last year after he demanded that the Senate investigate Fani Willis.
Sen. Moore was obviously vindicated, but the Atlanta Swamp still hates him for speaking out on this issue.

From the Associated Press in 2023:
The caucus announced Thursday that it was indefinitely suspending state Sen. Colton Moore of Trenton, who represents a district in Georgia’s northwest corner.
“Sen. Moore has a right to his opinion,” the caucus said in a statement. “However, during his advocacy for his ill-conceived proposal, Sen. Moore has knowingly misled people across Georgia and our nation, causing unnecessary tension and hostility, while putting his caucus colleagues and their families at risk of personal harm,” said the group, which has 32 of the Georgia Senate’s 56 members.
Moore attacked his colleagues as “Republicans in name only,” or RINOs.
“The Georgia RINOs responded to my call to fight back against the Trump witch hunts by acting like children and throwing me out of the caucus,” Moore wrote on X, formerly Twitter. “But I’m not going anywhere.”
