‘No one wants to fight for Israel’: Ex-marine gets forcibly removed from US Senate hearing (VIDEO)

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

A former US Marine protesting the war with Iran was injured during a scuffle with police and a senator on Wednesday after interrupting a Senate hearing on Washington's Capitol Hill and shouting, “No one wants to fight for Israel.”

The protester, Brian McGinnis, a Marine veteran and Green Party candidate in North Carolina’s Senate race, disrupted a Senate Armed Services subcommittee hearing that was hearing testimony from members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

Video from the incident shows police and Senator Tim Sheehy attempting to remove McGinnis from the room as he clung to a doorframe. During the struggle, his right arm appeared to snap, prompting a bystander to shout, “His hand, his hand!”

Another person later asked McGinnis, “Is your hand okay?” He replied, “No, it’s not.”

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.”
