Brian McGinnis, Green Party candidate for Senate from NC<\/p><\/div>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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<\/a>. 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.<\/p>\n

Here’s how a liberal media rag reports on the incident involving McGinnis and Sheehan. From LGBT Nation<\/a>;<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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\u2019t wish to die for Israel, a reference to Secretary of State Marco Rubio\u2019s claim that the U.S. attacked Iran in premeditation of possible retaliation from a possible preemptive strike by Israel.<\/p>\n

As McGinnis holds onto the knob, Sen. Sheehy intervenes and helps officers try and pull McGinnis from the door. \u201cA U.S. senator just broke the hand of a Marine!\u201d a man in the room yells after McGinnis seemingly endures an injury from the altercation.<\/p>\n

Sheehy later wrote in a post on the social platform X, \u201cCapitol 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis gentleman came to the Capitol looking for a confrontation, and he got one,\u201d Sheehy added. \u201cI hope he gets the help he needs without causing further violence.\u201d<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis 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\u2019s attempts to remove him from the room,\u201d the spokesperson said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
