An anti-war protester who interrupted a Capitol Hill hearing Wednesday was ejected on camera with the help of a GOP senator and the footage showed how he’ll be a lot worse for wear for the experience.
According toCBS News, the protester, former Marine Brian McGinnis of North Carolina, who’s running for Senate with theGreen Party, allegedly assaulted officers with the U.S. Capitol Police during a Senate Armed Services subcommittee hearing.
The protest was directed against the United States’ operations against Iran.
At the hearing, McGinnis began screaming in protest, telling senators that “America does not want to send its sons and daughters to war for Israel!”
McGinnis was removed, but he didn’t go quietly.
Footage shows the man being being dragged out of the hearing by both the Capitol Police and GOPSen. Tim Sheehy of Montana, himself a former Marine.
However, McGinnis wrapped his hand around the hinged end of the door as he Sheehy and the Capitol Police saw him out.
Something had to give. And, as you can tell from the sound, it was McGinnis’ arm.
