Tin foil hat-wearing Georgia Republican Assembly member arrested at anti-LGBTQ Pride protest
They can’t get it right. We know it’s Reynolds Wrap on the head
A right-wing activist from Georgia known for literally wearing tin-foil hats to public meetings was arrested along with three allies over the weekend for protesting against a local LGBTQ Pride event.
WRGA News reports that 41-year-old Angela Antonella Rubino, the vice chair of the Etowah chapter of the Georgia Republican Assembly, was arrested because she and three other protesters refused to obtain a permit before taking part in the demonstration against a Pride event in Rome, Georgia.
Rome Assistant Police Chief Debbie Burnett told reporters on Sunday that other anti-LGBTQ Pride activists were allowed to protest at the event after getting a proper permit to do so, but said Rubino and her comrades simply would not do so.
“We told them ‘we don’t care if you protest, just get a permit and do it the right way,’” she explained.
