#NEWS - Former Marine Sgt. #BrianMcGuinness stood up during a Senate Armed Services subcommittee hearing to protest the possibility of a U.S. war with Iran, telling lawmakers that many Americans don’t want the country dragged into another Middle East conflict. Moments later, U.S. Capitol Police moved in and forcibly removed him from the chamber as the disruption unfolded. During the struggle, McGuinness claims officers broke his arm. Sen. #TimSheehy of Montana was also seen assisting as police escorted the anti-war protester out of the hearing room. McGuinness, an activist and Green Party candidate running for U.S. Senate in North Carolina, has been vocal about opposing a broader U.S. military involvement in the region. The dramatic moment is now circulating online, with veterans and anti-war activists debating the confrontation at the Capitol.
