The GOP senator broke my hand!

Brian McGinnis, Green Party candidate for Senate from NC

The fella, who looks like a raging jackass, acted like a raging jackass. You see, while wearing his Marine blues to a Senate hearing, he interrupted to “protest” the Iran war. He yelled something about how the Jews run US foreign policy (I’m not joking), then got “escorted” out by Capitol Police. Like a petulant toddler, he resisted, and while they were trying to drag him out, Senator Sheehan (R-MT) came in to help. He allegedly broke the former Marine’s hand in the scuffle. I don’t know how anyone absent Clark Kent with his X-ray vision could diagnose a broken hand in the moment like that.

Who is this McGinnis guy? Well a quick Google search turned up that he’s standing as a Green Party candidate for US Senate in North Carolina. For someone who thinks American servicemen didn’t join to fight for Israel, it’s very unusual that he’s wearing two flags on his lapel for his official campaign picture. Neither flag is the American one. He’s wearing the Palestinian and Irish flags, which the Palestinian one being in the position of the more important one.

Here’s how a liberal media rag reports on the incident involving McGinnis and Sheehan. From LGBT Nation;

Sen. Tim Sheehy (R-MT) allegedly broke the hand of Brian McGinnis, a decorated Marine officer who protested the Iran war during a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing on Wednesday. Sheehy was assisting Capitol Police officers attempting to eject McGinnis from the hearing.

A CBS News reporter recorded video of the incident and posted it to X. In the video, Capitol Police officers struggle with McGinnis as he resists being escorted out of the room. McGinnis then holds onto a doorknob as leverage as he yells about how soldiers don’t wish to die for Israel, a reference to Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s claim that the U.S. attacked Iran in premeditation of possible retaliation from a possible preemptive strike by Israel.

As McGinnis holds onto the knob, Sen. Sheehy intervenes and helps officers try and pull McGinnis from the door. “A U.S. senator just broke the hand of a Marine!” a man in the room yells after McGinnis seemingly endures an injury from the altercation.

Sheehy later wrote in a post on the social platform X, “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,” Sheehy added. “I hope he gets the help he needs without causing further violence.”

A spokesperson for U.S. Capitol Police told The Hill that McGinnis and three Capitol Police officers sustained injuries during the incident. McGinnis, a Green Party candidate running for Senate in North Carolina, is now facing three criminal counts for allegedly assaulting a police officer and three more for resisting arrest.

“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 spokesperson said.

Huh…he has a CAR…but is wearing it upside down. Per his stack he did a tour in Iraq (haha..that rhymed). Me thinks by showing up in blues, he thought it would send a message.

What he didn’t think about was the message conveyed would be “Im a fucking toolbag.”

Soup Sammich.

Apparently the “breaking hand” is a thing with this guy:

Made the All-Marine boxing team later in 2003 until the end of enlistment, tried out the year prior, but broke my hand in the tryouts.

Article here says who?

https://www.lejeune.marines.mil/News/Article/Article/511924/all-marine-boxing-team-named/

The only source I can find saying he is on the boxing team is him.

Oof…amazing how the interwebz is forever. Fucking toolbag. Getting hammered in the barracks and going bare knuckles on a Friday night doesnt make you an all-Marine boxer dickbag.

I did not see an officer in that pic, just a Sgt with a fucked up salad bowl.

The website is “LGBT Nation”. I’m already unsettled that their article was coherent and provided copious quotes from their opponents.

AW1Ed

If the articles are topical and well written the source isn’t an issue. I’ve posted from Huffpo and Aljazeera, for example.
I haven’t lurked LGBT Nation for content, though. Not that there’s anything wrong with that..

Awful Cause C

The “the Jews run US foreign policy” rant is extremely common now, and exponentially outgrowing its astro turf surface area. Both governments salesmanship of this war borders on ass. Charlie Kirk offered to tutor the Israelis on their media presentation. Even if he were alive today, this would be a hard sell, as the enemy has inversely proportional propaganda vs. martial ability.
Speaking of ass, at what point does Brian McGinnis qualify as an “ex” Marine?

Prior Service (Ret)

Time of qualification as “ex:” take the date time group of yesterday’s petulant display and add one minute.

A Terminal Lance Coolie

A…ah…certain mythological group my name may bear some association with would like to roundly denounce McGinnis’ claim to the title Marine, effective from the moment of his rather un-NCO-like display.

Bald headed white boy is lucky that Michael Byrd didn’t shoot him in the neck.

Speaking of…..where the fuck is that “one hit wonder”? (it’s a wonder that he made that one hit)

It’s a wonder his weapon wasn’t in the men’s room. Again.

He actually made the local news, somewhat recently, for running a “child care” business operation of his McMansion:

One wonders the manner of that individual’s separation from the Marines happens to be. Was it less than honorable perhaps? Definitely seems to be well shy of a load of bricks there.

What an 8-UP turd soup sandwich! “Decorated Marine Officer” my ass, in that picture he looks like the “That Guy” in every unit who’s the source of the 1SG’s heartburn 90% of the time.

MustangCPT

As a former Company Commander, I would agree. He looks like “that guy.”🤣

Ditto.

3rd Capitol Police Officer that comes running up to help. He has a nice man bun.

Kudos to Sheehy for stepping up and evicting the bigoted operative from the Palestinians interfering with government functions.

I guess this also answers the question about SEALs vs Marines. Apparently all a SEAL has to do to disable a Marine and make them harmless is tug on their arm a little bit.

SFC D

Douchebag is lucky that Sheehy didn’t just rip his arm off and beat him with it. All the dumbass had to do was let go of the knob. I hereby forward a motion to revoke any and all rights afforded to this asshat as a of the Irish brotherhood (and sisterhood) from this day on. He’s lost the right to be a Mick. All in favor, say AYE!

Someone should look into his fire fighting job as well. He is a walking liability case for a city.

Aww, no shit? The loon is a firefighter as well? Dammit! Well, I guess like all other professions, we have some shitbsgs among us.. based on that level of drama, I’d assume he has quite a rep among his department.

You misspelled “potato”

Toxic Deplorable B Woodman

Yer correct, I forgot about them underground tubers. I’ve eaten many in my lifetime. Does that add to my Irish-ness? Or does it matter at’tal?
But I meant originally “potables” (as in liquid libations, usually alcoholic), so there it is.

Looking and acting like a dick with ears. A real credit to the Corps.

It’s even veiny.

The video I saw yesterday showed that he had jammed his hand between the door jam and the back side of the open door, and refused to let go.

If they had wanted to break his hand, he was in the perfect position for them to do so. Have 2, 3 LEO shut the door forcefully on his hand until he decided to remove it himself.

LEOs physically picked him up horizontally while he’s screaming his BS, and the former SEAL is trying to pull the guy’s arm/hand out of the door.

Then someone in the peanut gallery with the brains of a cowchip starts screaming about a US Congressman attacking a Marine! Oh the horror.

IMHO the LEOs and the SEAL showed remarkable restraint. This dw shoulda been cause a lot more pain than he got.

MustangCryppie

SMDH at the reactions in the room.

MustangCryppie

I learned a great technique in the police academy for those who refuse to let go. Dig your fingers as hard as you can into the soft tissue of the wrist. Works like a charm. Surprised the cops didn’t use it.

Graybeard

They all knew they were going to be all over the interwebz in 0.032 seconds, and the arm-chair basement-dwelling slugs (exempli gratia: Lars) would be screaming about anything they did.

SFC D

Pulling the door closed would’ve been awesome too. Make that little bastard scream.

26Limabeans

Use a “come along”.

Someone should have shouted, open the door Richard.. “Open The Door Richard” 1947 by a number of groups….

So THAT’S where the Yosemite Sam “Notice I didn’t say Richard” line came from!🤣

Capital Police Officers aren’t taught anything about compliance techniques or escalation of force.

Lt Michael Byrd can attest to that.

Odie

They were probably told not to.

Prior Service (Ret)

Should’ve racked him in the nuts while they had him hoisted up. I bet he would’ve let go real quick.

Awful Cause C

That might have required several kicks to find the targets, and wouldn’t have looked good (depending on the perspective, of course) on camera.

Speaking of perspective, a spectacle such as this seems right up MAJ Taylor’s alley.

SFC D

Nah. Major lack of testicular fortitude. All mouth.

The brotherhood/sisterhood of the NDSM is not amused.

Awesome sauce. Maybe he can find somebody to give him their medals and he can throw them over the Whitehouse fence. The comments in the below article are telling.

a decorated Marine officer

“Decorated”? I guess technically correct, but not in the manner usually associated with the word: Highest award: A single Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal. Likely an end of tour award. I got five of those in 21 years…3 EOTs and two for specific accomplishments. I also note that his Good Conduct has no “multiple award” devices, so either he served fewer than 6 years, or didn’t maintain good conduct for them.

And…someone needs to explain the difference between an Officer and an NCO to the “journalist”.

And they wonder why we don’t trust anything they say any more.

Veritas Omnia Vincit

Another liberal dipshit proves being an anti-Semite is once again fashionable. They seem to be crawling out from under the rocks these days.

If any of these numbnuts actually cared about the deaths of Muslims it’s odd that they were awfully quiet about the tens of thousands killed at the hands of other Muslims.

It wasn’t until the Israelis decided they were done with taking attacks from Gaza and Iran that these fuckers decided Muslim lives mattered to them.

Any excuse to exercise their bigotry by cloaking it as “concern” seems to be the modus operandi for these people.
I hope this moron gets to see the inside of a cell for a bit to reflect on his stupidity.

I can’t knock the green party. They peel off votes from the Dems.

Jackass! The military doesn’t exist so you can clown around while wearing the uniform at political protests! The military is supposed to be apolitical! I still have my Navy Dress Whites and Dress Blues and I’ve never felt the urge to slap them on for a protest.
