A GOP senator joined Capitol Police officers in forcibly removing an anti-war protester and Marine veteran from a Senate Armed Services Subcommittee hearing on March 4.
The Marine, who Capitol Police identified as Brian McGinnis, shouted, "No one wants to fight for Israel" as he was dragged from the hearing room for the Subcommittee on Readiness and Management Support.
It came days after the United States and Israel launched strikes against Iran on Feb. 28. The war has so far led to the deaths of the country’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei as well as six U.S. soldiers.
“Wednesday 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," Capitol Police said in a statement.
McGinnis as well as three officers were treated for injuries, Capitol Police said. The nature of their injuries is unclear. Reuters reported that McGinnis' arm was broken in the interaction.
