A man was arrested by Capitol Police on Sunday after interrupting the Senate debate on President Donald Trump's "big, beautiful bill," shouting from the Senate Galleries that the lawmakers are "horrible."
Allen D. Rogers, of Florida, was arrested for unlawful conduct after he refused to obey officers' orders to stop the disruption, according to police.
"At approximately 7:00 p.m., our officers arrested a man who started being disruptive in the Senate Galleries," police said in a statement.
The interruption happened between speeches by Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., on the Republican-backed spending bill.
Rogers was heard shouting criticisms at lawmakers from the galleries, including "you people are awful" and "you're horrible," although most of what he said was intelligible. His remarks appeared to be targeting Republican lawmakers.
Sen. Dave McCormick, R-Pa., was the presiding officer at the time of the disruption.

2 years in solitary confinement! I mean that’s what your average J6 grandma would get.
Bill is over 1000 pages, and it’s the usual clown show in DC. Even people with only three functioning brain cells know that nobody read the damn thing in its entirety. Calling our elected “representatives” awful and horrible is about on point; the words apply to pretty much all democrats and a lot of republicans.
It IS an insurrection.
I have a simple question, was what Florida Man said WRONG?
Maybe RINOS and DEMS were embarrassed that a peon SPOKE THE TRUTH.
A REAL Floridian, or a northerner that went to invade Florida?
He's not wrong.
In times of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
And most of those senaturds ARE awful and horrible.
I saw this live on C-SPAM last night. Had tuned in to see Sanders make an @$$ of himself. He did not disappoint.
I listened to about five minutes of the reading of the “big beautiful Bill”. It is absolutely not understandable by anyone. Every sentence had references by number, not by explanation, in it to other bills, other laws, other regulations. It is so easy for Senators and congressman to slip in favoritism to themselves or their special people.
I look forward to the day when AI can take one of these bills and untangle the deliberately complicated web they weave to find out who is benefitting by the special deals.
Hard to argue with his points. ;~))
Nothing wrong with interrupting Bernie’s speech.
The interruption happened between speeches by Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y.,
The protestor’s rant is true. Bernie and Chuck were just babbling some bs.
