From The Hill:
Brian McGinnis is running as the Green Party candidate in North Carolina’s election to replace outgoing Sen. Thom Tillis (R). The anti-war activist could be heard shouting, “No one wants to fight for Israel,” as he was pushed out of the hearing room.
Sen. Tim Sheehy (R-Mont.) joined U.S. Capitol Police in pushing McGinnis out of the Senate Armed Services Committee hearing room. The retired Marine sergeant resisted by sticking his arm in the exit doors.
“And for the record, I’ve been running long before this, and yes even after breaking my arm standing up for what I believe in,” McGinnis wrote on X.
“It’s only made me more determined,” he wrote. “Anger is real, and so is resolve. Take care.”

Three police officers and McGinnis were treated for injuries sustained during this incident.
“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,” a lice spokesperson told The Hill on Thursday.
McGinnis is facing charges in the incident, including three counts for assaulting a police officer and three counts related to resisting arrest, the spokesperson said.
