(The Guardian) New York mayor to Taylor Greene: 'Behave yourself'
Officials in New York have just updated reporters on security arrangements for Donald Trump’s court appearance tomorrow, including a stark warning to Republican firebrand congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene to behave herself.
The Georgia politician and election denier, one of the former president’s most vocal supporters, has said she’ll be joining New York’s Young Republicans club for a “peaceful protest” in Manhattan ahead of Trump’s arraignment.
But sensing the potential for any protests to turn violent, Eric Adams, had a blunt warning for Taylor Greene, who has called for the arrest of Manhattan district attorney Alvin Bragg who brought the case against Trump: While there may be some rabble rousers thinking about coming to our city tomorrow, the message is clear and simple: control yourselves. Your city is our home, not a place for your misplaced anger.
We are the safest large city in America because we respect the rule of law in New York city. And although we have no specific threats, people like Marjorie Taylor Greene, who is known to spread misinformation and hate speech, she stated she’s coming to town. While you’re in town, be on your best behavior. As always, we will not allow violence or vandalism of any kind. And if one is caught participating in any act of violence, they will be arrested and held accountable, no matter who you are. About 35,000 uniformed New York city police officers will be on duty on Tuesday, ready to deal with any threat of violence or unrest by Trump supporters, police commissioner Keechant Sewell told the briefing.
There will be street closures around the courthouse and on other streets she said: As always, the NYPD is prepared to ensure that everyone is able to have their voices heard peacefully while exercising their first amendment rights. But I will remind everyone that violence and destruction are not part of legitimate lawful expression. And that will never be tolerated in our city.
