Georgia State Senator Colton Moore was kicked out of the State Capitol in Atlanta after attempting to enter the House chambers. Moore was previously censured and banned from the chambers over comments he made at a ceremony for deceased House Speaker David Ralston. The late Speaker was being honored with a building named after him at the University of North Georgia. Moore did not like this and referred to Ralston as one of the most corrupt politicians in Georgia’s history. Moore, a newly-elected Republican from the northwest part of the state, was universally chastised and punished by both parties.
