Watch: Marine Veteran Protesting Iran War Suffers Broken Arm In Scuffle With GOP Senator

No Comments4 Mins Read

It’s merely less than a week in to the Iran war and Trump’s Operation Epic Fury, being done in cooperation with Israel, and much of the whole Middle East region is on fire. The blowback has been fierce, and as the energy supply disruptions compound and begin to be felt at the gas pumps in American, we expect growing blowback among the US domestic public as well.

Washington has already expended untold blood and treasure in the horrific two-decade long quagmires of Iraq and Afghanistan, and US interventions have resulted in mass death and enduring instability in places like Libya and Syria as well. President Trump of course ran on a “no new Middle East regime change wars” platform, but with the massive attack on Iran, here we go again… And already some Iraq war veterans are loudly calling out the Trump administration over this new ‘war of choice’:

An Iraq War Marine veteran was forcibly removed from a Senate hearing after speaking out against the war with Iran. Veteran Brian McGinnis earlier posted a video on X saying he had come to Washington, D.C. to challenge lawmakers over the expanding conflict.

“Iā€™m here to speak out against the Senate and ask them why they are going to send our men and women into harmā€™s way,” he said.

During the hearing, McGinnis stood up from the audience and interrupted proceedings, declaring loudly: “Israel is the reason for this war. America does not want to fight this war for Israel.”

Security quickly confronted the retired Marine and began dragging him out of the chamber. McGinnis kept shouting at the senators in the room, and the situation fast escalated – with security at one point almost carrying him out.

“Your inability to name that shows your ineptness as leaders,” he said, adding, “No one wants to fight for Israel.”

During the struggle at the doorway, McGinnis’ hand apparently became trapped between the door and the frame while he continued trying to speak, resulting in injury.

“Montana Republican Sen.Ā Tim SheehyĀ has defended himself afterĀ an anti-war protester he was helping remove from a Capitol Hill hearing was injured,” The Telegraph writes. “The incident unfolded when Sheehy came to the aid ofĀ Capitol PoliceĀ as they struggled to remove the activist from a committee hearing on Wednesday.”Ā Sheehy can be seen almost tackling McGinnis rugby style.

Witnesses said the confrontation appeared to leave McGinnis injured, with some observers stating it looked as if his hand or arm was broken during the struggle. The moment in the video was graphic as a snap is heard.

Later media reports said of the Marine, “He clashed with three officers attempting to remove him from the chamber and suffered a broken arm in the process,” per Reuters.
