The event, which was part of Loeffler’s “All About Georgia” statewide bus tour took place inside the Community Center. It  was scheduled to last for one hour, instead it ended in half that time.

Supporters of Kelly Loeffler attempt to keep demonstrator from getting to the senator.

The disruption began when one BLM supporter began shouting questions to Loeffler but when the senator attempted to respond, the chants began and drowned her out. The demonstration lasted about 30 minutes.

About a dozen well restrained Forsyth County deputies kept a close watch inside and out. While many of Loeffler’s supporters grew angry and responded with shouts of “All Lives Matter” and “Kelly, Kelly”the,  demonstration never turned violent. Loeffler and Senator Tom Cotton of Arkansas remained to take photos with supporters, but left at approximately 4 p.m. on the next stop on the bus tour in Hall County.
