Anti-Iran war protester breaks arm during fight in US Senate (Video)

A scuffle broke out on Capitol Hill involving a former Marine, Republican senator, and police.

An anti-Iran war protester was injured in a scuffle with a US senator and police after he interrupted a Senate hearing at Capitol Hill on Wednesday.

Brian McGinnis, a Green Party candidate in a North Carolina senatorial race and former US Marine, shouted slogans in the middle of a Senate Armed Services subcommittee hearing featuring testimony from members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

As three police officers and Senator Tim Sheehy attempted to remove McGinnis from the room, he grabbed the door and yelled, “No one wants to fight for Israel.”



Video of the incident shows McGinnis’ right arm snapping, while a bystander is heard screaming, “His hand, his hand!” Another person later asked McGinnis, “Is your hand okay?” He replied, “No, it’s not.”

Warning: Disturbing footage

Sheehy, a Republican from Montana, said he saw police dealing with “an unhinged protester” and decided to intervene “to help out and deescalate the situation.”

“This gentleman came to the Capitol looking for a confrontation, and he got one,” the senator wrote on X.

Capitol Police said McGinnis was “violently resisting and fighting our officers’ attempts to remove him from the room.”

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

  1. And its no surprise that Republican senator received $600,000 from AIPAC last year! America is occupied! Cast the demons out!

  2. “All the war propaganda, all the screaming and lies and hatred, comes invariably from people who are not fighting.” – George Orwell

    • True, but this was a U.S. Marine Veteran who was a combatant…
      However, the Green Parties operating on a global basis in many nations are essentially nature-worshipping communist.
      After all, green is the new red…and their personal appearances give them away, ie
      Rastifarian hair, unwashed for 6 months-
      Grungy hole-in-the-knee jeans (unwashed for 2 months…)-
      Tee shirt with a greenie / commie slogan, also unwashed for 2 months-
      No personal hygiene (the stench in Pak-N-Save when they pass by cause the shopping trolleys to go into auto-pilot and flee the aisles…and people as well!)
      Hippie sandalls in sub-zero weather with tarred toenails-
      Piercings, tats, and bizarre hair cuts with blue / green hair dye…

  3. This guy Brian McGinnis was telling the Senate what several tens of thousands in the American military think. The Senate does not want to hear. Trump does not want to hear. Do they care about the morale and the loyalty of their military who place their lives on the line?
