Ben & Jerry's co-founder arrested

A co-founder of Ben & Jerry's was arrested on Wednesday after taking part in a protest during a Senate hearing.

Cohen was one of seven people arrested during a meeting of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee. While many of the protestors directed their anger at Health and Human Services head Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., Cohen railed against Congress' role in the ongoing war in Gaza. After several protestors were removed from the hearing room by Capitol Police while shouting "RFK kills people with AIDS," Cohen stood up to shout down lawmakers. He continued to yell his message while being taken away by the police.
