‘No one wants to fight for Israel!’: U.S. Marine veteran dragged out of Senate hearing

  • Marine veteran Brian McGinnis stood and shouted during a Senate Armed Services Committee subcommittee hearing yesterday, prompting United States Capitol Police to remove him after he said 'no one wants to fight for Israel'.
  • Protesting U.S. military involvement in Iran, McGinnis said he meant to send a political message as a Green Party candidate in the U.S. Senate race in North Carolina.
  • Video circulating on social media appears to show U.S. Senator Tim Sheehy of Montana assisting officers as they pushed McGinnis toward the door, and the footage soon spread widely.
  • After the altercation, U.S. Capitol Police arrested McGinnis, who was treated for a reportedly broken arm after injuring himself when he wedged his arm in a door frame while resisting.
  • Witnesses at the hearing said the protest lasted only seconds but raised bigger questions about dissent and security, while U.S. Capitol Police stressed order restoration and tight Senate complex security, and Senator Tim Sheehy called the protester 'unhinged' and said he helped deescalate the situation.
