  • Marine Corps veteran Brian McGinnis, a Green Party Senate candidate, interrupted a Senate Armed Services Subcommittee hearing to condemn joint US-Israeli military strikes on Iran.
  • McGinnis, whose wife is Palestinian, shouted that 'America does not want to send its sons and daughters to war for Israel!' during the protest.
  • During his removal by Capitol Police, his arm became wedged in a door frame and was audibly broken after Senator Tim Sheehy intervened.
  • McGinnis was hospitalised and now faces charges including assaulting a police officer, resisting arrest, and unlawful demonstration.
  • His mother expressed concern for her son, noting his strong feelings about Gaza due to his wife's family, while a GoFundMe campaign for his legal fees quickly gained significant public support.
