BREAKING: Capitol Police Tackle And Carry Out Marine Veteran Who Said “No One Wants To Fight For Israel” During Senate Hearing


Things got quite crazy during a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing on Wednesday.

Videos floating on X show a U.S. Marine veteran who is also an anti-war activist interrupting a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing.

In the video, the Marine loudly stated, while the Senate Armed Services Committee was in session, “No one wants to fight for Israel.”

The Gateway Pundit broke the story:

Capitol Police Officers and Senator Tim Sheehy tackled a belligerent anti-war Marine Veteran who interrupted the Senate Armed Service Meeting on Wednesday.

Video exclusively obtained by The Gateway Pundit shows the moment Capitol Police Officers tackled the Marine Veteran, identified as Brian McGinnis, after he interrupted the Senate meeting by repeatedly shouting “this is Israel’s war!”

Brian McGinnis is running for election to the US Senate in North Carolina as a Green Party candidate.

Republican Senator Tim Sheehy (MT), clad in a blue suit, also charged at McGinnis and helped the officers eject him from the Committee meeting.

The Daily Montanan shared the Capitol Police’s reaction to the incident:

In a statement, a public information officer for the Capitol Police said that McGinnis was treated for an injury, but did not specify the injury. The Capitol Police also said three officers had to be treated for injuries.

“This afternoon, an unruly man who started to illegally protest during a hearing, put everyone in a dangerous position by violently resisting and fighting our officer’s attempts to remove him from the room,” the statement from the Capitol Police said.

According to the Capitol Police, McGinnis faces three counts of assaulting a police officer, and three counts of “resisting arrest and crowding, obstructing, and incommoding for the unlawful demonstration.”

“Protests are not allowed inside the Congressional Buildings. There are plenty of other spots on Capitol Grounds, outside, where demonstrations are allowed,” the statement said.

Senator Tim Sheehy, who is a former Navy SEAL, has also responded to the incident.

Full Text:

Capitol Police were attempting to remove an unhinged protestor from the Armed Services hearing. He was fighting back. I decided to help out and deescalate the situation.

This gentleman came to the Capitol looking for a confrontation, and he got one. I hope he gets the help he needs without causing further violence.

How does it strike you?
