Secretary of State nominee Marco Rubio was interrupted during his opening statement on Wednesday. While arguing that the post-World War II order shaped by the United States has served the country well, two people began shouting over him. It was not immediately clear what they said, but one of them could be heard claiming "(...) and we've had forever wars since."
It is the second such incident in two days, as a protester was also removed from Pete Hegseth's confirmation hearing for Secretary of Defense on Tuesday. In his case, Capitol Police removed three protesters in a matter of minutes after each of them started yelling during the hearing. One of them yelled, "You are a misogynist." Hegseth paused as law enforcement stepped in to remove them.
