Tom Cotton: Ceasefire Protesters Who Disrupted Senate Hearing Should Be Prosecuted Just Like Capitol Rioters

From the CBS report linked below by Sen. Tom Cotton:

Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s testimony before the Senate Appropriations Committee was interrupted Tuesday as protesters called for a cease-fire in the Gaza Strip. Blinken’s testimony was part of a hearing reviewing the Biden administration’s national security supplemental funding request. He was interrupted multiple times by shouts from the audience. One woman could be heard yelling “People are not animals!” before being led away. Another cried “Cease-fire now!” Other silent protesters sat in the chamber with their hands raised and painted red, and signs borne by some called for a cease-fire and the end of U.S. funding in Israel.

The pro-Hamas mob who tried to disrupt the Senate’s hearing should be subject to the same treatment as the January 6 protesters. https://t.co/bpRiFPDuEZ

WATCH:

On Sept. 5, 2018, I disrupted a Congressional hearing where former Twitter CEO & founder @jack Dorsey was testifying.

I was “auctioned off” & escorted out of the hearing by Capitol Police at the request of Republicans on the committee.
