Republican Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene hit back at Democratic New York City Mayor Eric Adams after he told her to be on her “best behavior” during Tuesday’s Trump rally.

Greene announced her upcoming participation at a rally demonstrating against former President Donald Trump’s arraignment in New York City after the former president was indicted for allegedly paying $130,000 in hush money to former porn actress Stormy Daniels. Adams told Greene at a Monday press conference to refrain from any violence or intimidation during the protest.

“While there might be some rabble-rouses thinking about coming to our city tomorrow, the message is clear and simple,” Adams said. “Control yourselves. New York City is our home, not a playground for your misplaced anger. We have the safest largest 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 [Greene] in town, be on your best behavior.”

Greene agreed that anyone who commits “assault” or violates freedom of speech “should be arrested.” She accused the alleged counter protesters of being the ones that will threaten violence.

“I’m here in NY to protest with my voice against the weaponization of the justice system on innocent President Trump, but the counter protestors are coming to commit assault that can cause audible damage to everyone’s ears including NYPD [New York Police Department],” she wrote in a Tuesday tweet. “But Mayor Adams warns me by name! If counter protestors are violating freedom of speech and committing assault, they should be arrested.”

According to NY law, the counter protesters planned, organized, and funded behavior is considered disorderly conduct. @NYCMayor better direct NYPD to lock these people up. He said he wasn’t tolerating violence of any kind,” she continued.

Greene reportedly left a protest in front of the Manhattan Criminal Court after speaking to a group of pro-Trump protesters, the New York Daily News reported. She warned a crowd that supporters of the former president are next to be “targeted” by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, who oversaw Trump’s indictment.

“Every American should make a stand [against] the injustice, the corruption and the communist Democrats,” the Georgia representative said, according to the outlet.

She referred to Bragg as a “tool for the Democrats” in the speech, the outlet reported.

Greene struggled to exit the scene as a rowdy crowd appeared to push toward her. Security at the scene had to surround the representative and lead her to safety.

Counter protesters at the scene held signs in support of Daniels and ones that read “Lock Him Up,” according to photos and footage posted by Buzzfeed reporter David Mack. A handful of people in the crowd chanted “lock him up” in reference to the chants to lock up former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton during the 2016 race.

The two sides shouted at each other behind barricades, footage showed.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
