Ben Cohen, co-founder of the popular ice cream company Ben & Jerry's, was arrested on Wednesday after disrupting a Senate hearing in Washington, D.C.
A video of Cohen interrupting Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s testimony from the House has gone viral on social media. In the clip, viewers can see Cohen stand up during the session and shout criticisms of US policy on Gaza, accusing Congress of funding weapons that kill civilians while cutting healthcare programmes at home. 'Congress sent the bombs that kill children in Gaza and pays for it with cuts to Medicaid,' he said, before being escorted out by Capitol Police.
